You've seen the sense of it. Now You Need a System

The most successful teams are made up of individuals who spent the majority of their workdays inquisitive, focused, and fulfilled. The most critical step toward becoming a strengths-based organization is to find out what stops people from using their strengths, and to overcome these barriers.

At the Marcus Buckingham Company, we help you take responsibility for the things you need to do to improve the performance of individuals and teams. Our SimplyStrengths^TM system is designed to teach all employees how to do this for themselves.

The system is a six-step, six-week program that's detailed in Marcus Buckingham's best-selling book Go Put Your Strengths To Work.

Through the SimplyStrengths™ system, you'll learn how to identify and link activities to strengths while changing your actions and routines. The first two steps deal with identifying your mindset, as well as your strengths and weaknesses through the creation of vivid, emotionally evocative Strength Statements. The second two steps focus on using your strengths to do your job more efficiently, plus strategies for decreasing your amount of time involved in activities that weaken you. The final two steps center on communicating with peers and managers, and developing strategies to exploit team strengths.

Delivery Modalities

We also offer a "Certified Trainer" program designed to teach your in-house facilitators how to deliver the SimplyStrengths™ two-day workshop within your organization.
