Teams
WHAT IS STRENGTHS-BASED TEAM DEVELOPMENT?
You wouldn’t put the quarterback in for the center, would you? Or a defensive tackle in as running back? The positions require distinct talents and strengths, right? The same idea applies to teams in business.
It’s about recognizing the unique value that each employee brings to the table, tapping into their natural talents and putting each individual to work in a role that allows them to make their personal-best contribution to your organization every single day.
It’s training and equipping managers to manage their direct reports’ performance in a way that motivates each employee to contribute their personal-best every day.
It’s leadership development that builds leaders who inspire a shared vision, who model the way toward reaching that vision, who challenge “the way it’s always been done,” and who enable their followers to contribute what they do best to reaching the vision.
WHY STRENGTHS-BASED TEAM DEVELOPMENT?
Engaging employees through strengths development is not just touchy-feely mumbo jumbo.
Results of the Gallup organization’s employee engagement studies show that employees who have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general.
In terms of cost benefit, Gallup data suggests that a strengths-based culture leads to improved business outcomes, higher retention, productivity, customer engagement and safety.
So the question, really, is, “Why not?”
CONNECTING THE DOTS
Some call it creating “alignment.” Some refer to it as developing “line of sight.” MPOWER creates connections. Regardless of the term the point is this:
- When individuals connect to and embrace their unique method of making decisions, solving problems and taking action and understand the value they contribute when they use their natural strengths…
- And managers connect the right individuals to the right roles based on their talents and M.O. then connect those roles to create high-performing teams…
- And teams connect their objectives to helping the organization meet its vision, mission and goals…
- And leaders connect all the dots to create a culture dedicated to managing and leading others based on developing their strengths…
…we’ve created a synergistic organization that produces more productive, more efficient, more effective outcomes. All with a higher level of energy and less stress.
YOUR GOALS ARE THE GOALS
We start with your team’s needs and where the team needs to go. Working directly with you and other leaders, MPOWER will uncover what the current climate is, what’s going well in addition to what’s not. Through assessments we’ll discover the root causes of your team’s challenges. Then we’ll work together to clearly define where the team needs to be. Once we clarify goals and understand the barriers to reaching goals, we’ll start tearing them down and clearing a path to productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.
