When everything with your team is humming along, and everyone is happy and motivated, watch out! You’ll witness extraordinary levels of engagement and cohesion, and higher levels of quality and output.
But put people on the wrong projects, assign them the wrong roles, or give them the wrong tasks, and the outcome can be clashes, strife, and lower production and job satisfaction.
StrengthsFinder® As A Team Building Tool To Increase Productivity
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could use everyone on your team to their fullest potential? Imagine how much that might increase productivity!
StrengthsFinder® can help you do just that, in three simple steps. First, have everyone on your team take the StrengthsFinder® personality test. Next, as part of a team building activity, share the results with your team. Finally, commit to a work culture that’s based on strengths.
Have Everyone On Your Team Take The StrengthsFinder® Test
The online StrengthsFinder® test consists of 177 questions and takes about 35-45 minutes to complete. Developed by the Gallup® organization and now known as CliftonStrengths®, the test identifies a person’s top 5 strengths (out of a potential 34 strengths). The test is easy to take, understand, and discuss, and it provides incredible insights into people’s natural talents and how they can best use them.
Review And Discuss The StrengthsFinder® Results As A Team
Once you have everyone’s StrengthsFinder® test results, set up a time to meet and discuss the results as a team. Ideally, you’ll want to have an experienced facilitator run this meeting, training, or workshop (so that you can fully participate and so that the tone remains positive and professional throughout).
Knowing each other’s strengths can help your team members get to know each other better and value the different strengths and workstyles that other people bring to the table.
This newfound understanding and appreciation can impact the team in a number of ways that might lead to increased productivity, including:
- more collaboration
- increased efficiencies
- improved communication
- higher morale and engagement
- more constructive conflict resolution
- better team cohesion
Commit To A Work Culture That’s Based On Strengths
Don’t stop after your one meeting, training, or workshop on StrengthsFinder®! Commit to increasing productivity through a strengths-based culture by implementing some or all of these recommendations:
- set goals based on strengths (for yourself and your team members)
- actively encourage collaboration among team members
- assign tasks, roles, and projects based on strengths
- create strengths-based teams that include complementary strengths or diverse strengths
- emphasize using strengths in problem-solving and innovation
- celebrate successes when your team members use strengths to achieve goals
- continuously reinforce the values of using strengths
- include strengths in personal development plans
StrengthsFinder® Training And Workshops To Help Increase Productivity
