To get the most from every employee, managers must help them align their responsibilities with the way they work most naturally, gain the most satisfaction, are internally motivated, and are most naturally gifted. The strengths-based approach to development is unique and powerful. A manager’s best opportunity to help their team members grow, improve and succeed begins with an investment in their dominant CliftonStrengths themes.

In this next segment of your Manager series, you will begin to individualize your approach to using your Strengths and matching your teams to their best abilities. You will learn to understand your team members’ strengths profiles—the disparate strengths, limitations, styles, needs, and aspirations of each person. Then, you will start to individualize their management approach to each person.
