Strengths Based Leadership

Do you really know the strengths, skills and talents of your staff and board members? If yes, do you know how to use those strengths, skills and talents to their fullest extent?

Capitalizing on the strengths, skills and talents of your board and staff members will not only increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your organization, but will make people happier! This training will introduce you to ways to identify and use those natural strengths and talents to bolster your organization. Using the renowned StrengthsFinder 2.0® tool and framework, you will learn how to leverage the assets and strengths of every person on your team to get key work done for your organization (including fundraising).

Note: Participants will be asked to purchase StrengthsFinder 2.0 and take the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment before the workshop.

Participants will leave with:

• An understanding of the strengths-based approach to executive, staff and board leadership

• Concrete ideas on how to find nonprofit staff and board members who can complement the strengths of those already on the team and in executive leadership

• Knowledge of how to use each person’s strengths to form teams that can successfully achieve the organization’s key goals

Increased awareness of how a strengths-based approach can result in the development or strengthening of a dynamic staff and board.
