Why choose strength-based development?
Managers account for as much as 70% of the variance in team engagement, so being able to perform at your best and empower others to do the same is crucial. Individuals, teams and organisations who regularly work in line with their strengths perform better than those that do not. Empirical evidence has demonstrated the following benefits of developing a strengths-based approach:
- 6X higher employee engagement
- 3X more likely to report having an excellent quality of life
- 3X more effective as leaders/managers
- More productivity and innovation
- Less likely to quit their job
Rigorous research has also shown that teams where most individuals know their strengths have better performance outcomes than teams that do not
