Energizers & Drainers: Using Strengths to Improve Team Effectiveness

Program Description

In this interactive session, participants will gain hands-on experience applying the concept of strengths-based leadership to day-to-day work group management. Exercises will give participants the opportunity to gain insight into how their strengths impact their own task performance and then to practice one way to use that insight to make better task assignments. Participants will also explore how a mis-applied strength can become a performance limitation and will practice a method for recognizing when that happens and for getting the situation back on track.

 Learning Objectives:

1. Define “energizers” and “drainers” and explain their implications for individual and team performance.
2. Use understanding of energizers and drainers to allocate work tasks for increased productivity and job satisfaction.
3. Integrate strengths-based thinking into their day-to-day management activities.
4. Recognize when a “strength” has become a performance limitation and make, or help an employee to make, appropriate adjustments to regain balance.
