Understanding the Role of a Strengths-Based Manager

A strengths-based manager is someone who is aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, demonstrating good self-awareness. They also have a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their team members. This goes beyond just knowing their CliftonStrengths, but also understanding how those strengths manifest in individuals. Strengths-based managers are endlessly curious about their employees and constantly listen and learn about how their strengths are expressed in the workplace. They know that good self-awareness is crucial for effective management and create an environment where employees can develop self-awareness as well. They recognize the power of strengths in engagement, well-being, inclusion, and performance, and utilize CliftonStrengths to improve these areas.
