✅ PURPOSE, NOT A PAYCHECK
By helping employees understand their strengths, they will eventually find purpose in what they do. This will improve their overall happiness and satisfaction.
✅ DEVELOPMENT, NOT PERKS Spending $4,000 a month on kombucha, for example, will not develop your employees. Rather, they want their natural talents to be developed in order to succeed. |
✅ A COACH, NOT A BOSS People want coaches, not bosses who watch over them like a hawk. Understand your team member’s strengths and coach them on how they can harness their strengths. |
✅ CONVERSATIONS, NOT REVIEWS People do not wish for a one-sided review on their performance. Rather, they want genuine and meaningful conversations that can lead to an in-depth discussion on how they can improve. |
✅ STRENGTHS, NOT WEAKNESSES Why force a fish to climb a tree? Expecting people to perform well in areas in which they are lacking can be harmful to your organization and also your employee’s well-being. |
✅ A LIFE, NOT A JOB Paying attention to an employee’s strengths and development can help them achieve a healthy work-life balance, as it will be easier for them to execute tasks that are their strengths. |
