A STRENGTHS BASED CULTURE:

• Individuals understand their strengths & what they bring to the team

• Leaders & managers understand the talent on the team and leverage that talent each day

• Diversity is applauded and stronger teams are built around those differences

• Volunteering one’s strengths is not “bragging”, but is instead “bringing your best”
