Our Approach to Building Strengths Based Organizational Culture
Our approach in helping to building strengths based culture is to focus on strengths as being descriptive, generative, environmental and transformational. This is why we take a behavior based approach to the understanding and application of StrengthsFinder. We create a relational and intentional connection with those we work with.
