Description
Book SynopsisEvery leader cares about inclusivity, wellbeing and performance. For technical organizations these issues are especially acute: in the least diverse sectors, with every-increasing issues around mental health and resilience, companies need to realize continuous gains in performance and productivity to stay ahead,or even just to stay in the game,in a fiercely competitive space. How can leaders square the circle?This book will show you how to build a Strengths-Based Organization: an organization which is based on the scientific understanding of what helps individuals to flourish and organizations to reap the benefits.
Trade ReviewI really liked this book for its useful, easily applicable ideas. It’s presented in a way which will be good for people within businesses and external consultants alike. I would definitely recommend this book; it’s a nice, accessible, quick read which I know I will dip back into again and again. * Amazon *
Such a great book! So refreshing to focus on looking at the strengths of individuals to maximise effectiveness, efficiency and hence success of your business. A great read with easy to understand (and implement) actions and strategies to take your business to a new level. * Amazon *
I loved the way the authors related the impact of strengths to three major impacts; inclusivity, wellbeing and sustained performance. * HR Director *
