It sounds like a saying on a motivational poster, but research shows that building on your natural talents is a far more effective way to get where you want to be in life.

Every person has Strengths or talents that should be put to use in all aspects of life. There are numerous ways to develop these Strengths, especially when working on teams.

Every organization is looking for ways to improve and to rise above the competition.

Doing more with less is the norm in most organizations. We’re asking a lot of our employees, our managers, and our leaders.

There is no question that employee engagement is a large issue. Over half of the nation’s employees are looking for the next opportunity somewhere else.

Good leaders identify strengths, develop them, and place employees where those strengths can be used fully.
