Does everyone on your team know each other’s strengths?

July 15, 2024

There’s a Chinese proverb that says, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." — Sun Tzu

Similarly, if team members understand what each other excels in and managers comprehend their team members' performance needs and obstacles, the team is

destined for success.

Use CliftonStrengths to create strengths-aware teams 

CliftonStrengths is an online talent assessment. The key is for everyone to understand each person’s strengths so they can leverage them for overall success. 

Appreciate those who do not fit the typical “team player” mould

The reason they do not fit into this pattern may be due to their unique talents, which give them a distinct perspective. Rather than seeing them as a source of friction,

consider how they can bring something fresh and exciting to the table. This enhances inclusion, fostering better synergy and dynamic performance.

Create a diverse team

It's easy to select talents based on personal rapport and similarities, but doing so repeatedly can create blind spots and deficiencies. For example, in a small team, if

everyone has the same strength, like the Command theme, tasks may be neglected. Diverse strengths ensure a balanced and more effective team.
