Six times more likely to report being engaged Three times more likely to report having an excellent quality of life.
Intentionally explore and identify strengths, strategically develop and deploy strengths toward individual and organizational mission.
People who learn to focus on their strengths are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs, and teams that focus on their strengths are 12% more productive and profitable. Gallup finds that organizations that create the most value strategize around strengths, not weaknesses. They prioritize their strengths as their greatest opportunity for development and build a culture of focusing on what is right about people, not what is wrong with them.
The default mode for performance and development is often to focus on fixing weaknesses as a cultural norm, diverting attention from where teams and individuals can be most effective. An individual’s strengths, whether in play or not, are the single biggest predictor of being on a high-performance or low-performance team.

When Gallup studied high-performing individuals and teams across different countries, cultures and industries they found that they delivered value in many different ways… There was no ‘one model’ of high-performance. But they did find this… They all knew how to leverage their strengths and manage around their weaknesses.
We have developed leaders from the C-Suite to the shop floor in 30 different countries for the past decade.
Weakness-focused partnerships tend to perceive differences as threats and sources of frustration. In contrast, strengths-based partnerships view differences as advantages.
Individuals are not inherently well-rounded, but when partners learn to dovetail their strengths, they become greater than the sum of their parts. High-performance partnerships have both contrasting and complementary strengths that can be actively leveraged to unleash extraordinary potential.
