Strengths-based goal setting
Saturday, March 24, 2012 · Topics: personal-growth, strengths, team-development, teams-high-impact
From Gallup: Whether the economy is good or bad, most organizations are constantly looking for ways to increase productivity. For managers who are looking to do more with less, a key first step is for them to know their employees individually. This helps managers position workers for success, motivate them, and keep them focused on actions that are essential for the continued health of the organization.
Employees who intentionally apply their strengths to their work increase the odds of their success.
But it’s difficult for managers to do any of this if they are not attuned to the strengths of the people on their team. And it’s just as difficult for workers to use their strengths if their managers don’t understand, appreciate, or maximize those strengths. · Go to Strengths-based goal setting →

It is no longer enough to simply advertise and attract customers to work with you. Loyalty to employees, to brands, to personalities and to media disappears the instant one’s attention is switched to new, shinier options. · Go to The six invaluable factors →
