Gallup Strengths Training
Focus on Strengths Wins over Getting Hung up on Weaknesses
You will build high-performance teams with Gallup Strengths Training, amplifying the contributions of each person and achieving team alignment.
Unfortunately, today most organizations operate from weaknesses. This is not an overstatement. Think about the sense of doom and gloom that descends on people and teams during the performance review cycles in organizations.
Regrettably, many managers are under the impression that the performance review time is the time to make particular emphasis on a person’s weaknesses. This, however, is counterproductive. What this does is clip people’s wings. And even the most talented and engaged employees can get demotivated and disengaged.
What would happen if we studied what is right with people instead of focusing on what is wrong with them?
The Power of Leveraging Strengths Over Weaknesses
Fundamentally, knowing what is right with people, meaning understanding what each person’s Top 5 or Top 10 individual Strengths are and working from them will deliver far more productive outcomes than getting short-circuited on people’s weaknesses. Unfortunately, this focus on negativity and weaknesses defines many performance reviews.
Yes, it is important to be self-aware and to drive continuous improvements (and we are believers in the philosophy of KAIZEN). However, focusing on people’s Strengths will always deliver far greater benefits than focusing on people’s weaknesses. The former props their wings with tailwinds, while the latter clips their wings impairing their ability to take off and soar.
