Strengths-based management
2 jour(s)
Objectifs
Introduction
- How to ritualise what one does best to achieve immediate and consistent results
- How to identify the skills of everyone
- How to enable every co-worker to express his/her strengths
- How to develop in order to achieve excellence on certain skills
Strengths-based management is the ideal solution to meet these challenges.
This approach, which we will call "positive leadership", is based on the combination of three proven pillars/theories:
1. Appreciative inquiry: Studying what one does best in order to replicate it and capitalise on it
2. Positive psychology: Promoting self-development and self-fulfilment
3. Strengths theory: You're never better than when you use your strengths, because you can never win by focusing on your weaknesses
This course offers a clear, structured approach to strengths-based management, relying on simple, proven concepts and effective tools.

By the end of the training participants will be able to:
- Identify their colleagues’ strengths and drivers
