Leader Coaching – Let’s Focus on Your Strengths
People thrive and are more successful when using their innate talents. This mindset contradicts deeply ingrained thoughts about “fixing weaknesses.” Don Clifton, a psychologist at the University of Nebraska, aimed his research on those attributes that make people successful – which was a dramatic shift in thinking at the time.
In the mid-90’s, Dr. Clifton continued his pioneering work focused on the premise that leaders and their teams can achieve more by focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses. Today, over 25 million people worldwide have gained greater insights into their unique strengths through the CliftonStrengths34.
According to Gallup, more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies have used CliftonStrengths to bring the power of strengths-based development to their workplace culture.
Why Strengths Coaching?
Because you do make a difference.
According to Gallup, 70% of the variance in employee engagement can be traced directly to the manager. Yes – the manager can make or break a team.
Teams whose manager received strengths-based feedback have:
- 12.5% greater productivity
- 8.9% greater profitability
