Use strengths to boost productivity, engagement and the bottom line

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Albert Einstein

Per Gallup: What leaders do -- or fail to do -- with this workforce potential has enormous implications for a company's future. Gallup's data show that simply learning their strengths makes employees 7.8% more productive, and teams that focus on strengths every day have 12.5% greater productivity. Investing in and focusing on employees' talents boosts employee and customer engagement, according to Gallup's research, which leads to higher levels of performance, profitability, productivity and greater earnings per share for businesses.
