Behavioural Strengths Philosophy:
- A focus on strengths helps you lean into what you do best and your colleagues’ natural talents to get the results you want.
- Living your best life begins when you apply your unique talents.
- Knowing and understanding your CliftonStrengths is an essential part of:
- identifying how to perform better in your job
- building better relationships,
- being a better colleague
- recognising that you’re improving every day
When we use our natural behavioural strengths, we:
- have higher levels of energy and vitality
- are more likely to achieve our goals
- are more confident
- perform better at work
- are more engaged at work
- experience less stress
Gallup research finds that people who use their CliftonStrengths are more engaged and productive at work and three times more likely than others to have an excellent quality of life.
- Our strengths don’t just happen. We develop them by investing in our talents with time, skills and knowledge. (Click on the sidebar image to know more about 34 talents from Gallup's extensive research)
- Your ability to achieve excellence depends on the extent to which you intentionally build your talents into strengths.
- This does not have to be a complicated process. It involves being aware of what you and your team members do best and leading with these things in mind:
- Everyone has a unique set of natural talents and abilities.
- When used with intention, our talents can be a great source of power and contribution.
- Gallup research proves that people succeed when they focus on what they do best. When they use their strengths, people are more productive, perform better and are more engaged.
Gallup research has shown that teams that have participated in strengths-based development activities have seen:
- Increased profit
- Increased sales
- lower turnover
