Strengths based leadership

Strengths-based leadership starts with knowing and leading from your natural talents rather than trying to fit a single model of leadership. At its core, Gallup describes this leadership style as creating high performance in a sustainable way, where people can bring the best of themselves to work and feel energized by it. It also means recognizing and aligning the strengths of others so teams can work with more trust and appreciation for successful, positive impact.

My Top Ten Clifton Strengths are...

Arranger

Organizing people and resources.

Responsibility

Owning outcomes and commitments.

Connectedness

Relator

How I Lead

  • Drive ahead while reflecting on past results.
  • Clarify the vision and align teams around strategic goals.
  • Build the plan around achievable steps.
  • Empower the individual to see their unique skills.
  • Measure, learn, and continually improve with a positive attitude.
I believe the best creative work happens when talented people are inspired, trusted, and connected to each other and not just a project.
