UTILIZE STRENGTHS ASSESSMENTS
Gallup’s CliftonStrengths is my go-to platform for ramping up trust and productivity within an executive team. Yes, there are many other assessments and approaches, but I have found that highlighting the strengths of everyone on the team accelerates team engagement like no other.
I worked with a client last year that had members of its leadership team located all over North America. A few had never even met in person. Exploring their individual and collective strengths gave the team a language to celebrate each person, as well as better understand themselves. “We are still talking about and have adopted much of what we learned during those sessions!” raves the organization’s president months later.
The key is to run the CliftonStrengths assessment, chart it out, and then bring the team together for a few hours to explore what it all means. The momentum created by a team operating in its strengths is hard to beat.
