Strengths-based Teams Boost Employee Engagement & Team Performance [566 words]

Strengths-based teams enjoy personal and professional growth, improved team dynamics, and higher levels of engagement and performance. The CliftonStrengths assessment, offered by Gallup, is a powerful tool for both individuals and teams, providing valuable insights that can lead to personal and professional growth. Lead at Any Level’s Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches can provide assessments, workshops, and coaching based on the CliftonStrengths assessment.

Here are some of the key benefits of using the CliftonStrengths assessment for teams and individuals:

For Individuals

The CliftonStrengths assessment helps individuals improve in their careers, succeed at work, and live the strongest lives possible. The assessment goes beyond just identifying strengths. Specifically, an individual report provides actionable insights that can lead to greater engagement, better performance, and an excellent quality of life[1]. By discovering and investing in their strengths, individuals are more likely to be engaged in their jobs. What’s more, they’ll feel that they have the opportunity to do what they do best every day and report having an excellent quality of life[1]. Finally, the assessment provides role-specific reports to help individuals understand how to apply their unique strengths to their specific roles, whether they are students, employees, or leaders[1].

For Teams

Using CliftonStrengths allows teams to move beyond an understanding of common “types” of people on a team and gain specific insight into the natural talents of the individuals on the team[2]. Not surprisingly, this specificity provides the foundation for more focused and effective actions to ensure the team’s success[2]. Gallup’s research shows that strengths-based teams are four times more engaged[3]. By helping each team member know and use their strengths, teams can unleash their full potential[3].

For Organizations

For organizations, the CliftonStrengths assessment and associated reports reveal employees’ greatest strengths, elevating teams’ self-awareness, collaboration, development, and performance[4]. It can be used to empower individual and team development. Managers can analyze team dynamics for more effective planning. Moreover, you’ll create a culture where people want to work, feel fulfilled, and can realize their full potential[4]. By creating a strengths-based company culture, organizations can help teams thrive and achieve higher levels of engagement and performance[3][4].

In summary, the CliftonStrengths assessment is a valuable tool for individuals, teams, and organizations. It provides actionable insights that can lead to personal and professional growth, improved team dynamics, and higher levels of engagement and performance.
