Work from Strength
Coaching for teams
Better together?
There are many opportunities available from working in teams – combining talents, leveraging diversity of perspectives, maximizing resources, creating camaraderie, increasing productivity, etc.
So often, though, the reality does not match the ideal.
In a work environment, or particularly in a volunteer environment, you bring committed, smart, motivated people together to accomplish a goal – building a better widget, providing a better service, better serving a community – and yet the results are less than inspiring. You know there’s something more possible.
What if you could maximize every team member’s potential?
What if you were better able to put the right people on the best projects to leverage their natural talents?
What if your team members worked together in ways that maximize their strengths and make their weaknesses irrelevant?
Benefits of Work from Strength
Start With Talent
You get more mileage out of investing in what you’re naturally good at than you do focusing on your weaknesses. Think of it as becoming more of who you are rather than trying to become who you are not. Discover your strengths, and imagine the freedom of navigating the world in ways that naturally energize and satisfy you.
Increase Engagement
People who focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs. In a corporate environment, engaged associates contribute the most energy, the best ideas, and the greatest discretionary effort. In a non-profit organization, engaged volunteers get things done. Leverage the natural engagement that comes from focusing on strength.
Increase Effectiveness
Too often, bright associates and volunteers are asked to work in ways counter to their natural talents. They’ve got the interest, they’ve got the motivation, the intelligence, and yet you’re left scratching your head about mediocre results. Well, imagine if your strategic thinkers were allowed to strategize, and your activators focused on the best way to get started, and your achievers were set free to get things done. Increase effectiveness by having the right people focused on the right things.
Improve Productivity
Increasing the engagement and effectiveness of your associates or volunteers naturally increases productivity without increasing overhead or having to recruit additional volunteers. Investing in strength is an investment in your bottom line.
Maximize Potential
Focusing on your weaknesses prevents failure. Focusing on your strengths gives you the opportunity to thrive. Allowing your employees to focus on the right roles and responsibilities is like allowing them to use their superpowers to save the day. Think about Michael Jordan. He was clearly an extremely gifted athlete. But we saw him at his best on the basketball court, not the baseball field.
Build Powerful Partnerships
Focusing on your strengths together makes your weaknesses irrelevant. Think about an activator getting things going partnered with an achiever getting things done. Consider your deep thinkers thinking things through partnered with an activator to get things started. Think about a creative brainstormer generatinh innovative ideas partnered with a strategic thinker identifying the best way to move forward. Focusing on your strengths and working with others focused on their strengths gives you the potential to produce the most and the best with the least.
