Positive Psychology

The study of positive traits, the study of positive institutions, the study of positive emotions

"Nurturing positive emotion, identifying strengths, and fostering virtue in people and institutions leads toward a path of sustainable happiness rather than short lived pleasure"

The Strengths Philosophy

• Top achievers fully recognize their talents and build on them to develop strengths

• Top achievers apply their greatest talents in roles that best suit them, and subsequently partner with those to tackle tasks that do not suit them.

• Top achievers invent ways to apply their greatest talents to their achievement tasks. They use them to overcome obstacles and invent new ways of capitalizing on them.

Your Strengths and your Critical Activities

Domains of Talents

• Executing-they know how to make things happen. Leaders with this area, have the ability to implement solutions, and turn ideas into reality.

• Influencing- they are able to help their team reach a broader audience. They are always selling the team’s ideas inside and outside the organization. These people ensure the group is heard.

• Relationship Building-they are the essential glue to hold the team together. Without these people, the team is a group of individuals. These individuals are able to create groups/teams that are great than the sum of the parts.

• Strategic Thinking-they are the people who keep us all focused on what could be. They absorb and analyze information to assist the team in making a better decision with a focus to the future.

Wrap Up

"A leader needs to know his/her strengths as a carpenter knows his tools, or as a physician knows the instruments at her disposal. What great leaders have in common is that each truly knows his or her strengths-and can call on the right strength at the right time. This explains why there is no definitive list of characteristics that describes all leaders."
