Flipping the script

Popular for its effectiveness, capacity to enhance relationships and ability to achieve meaningful outcomes, strengths-based practice has its foundations in social work, but is now used across diverse professions.

Where traditional management styles may have focused on gaps in performance and areas for improvement, strengths-based approaches focus on building personal strengths and aptitudes. So rather than aiming to address deficit, strengths-based managers see staff as capable and resourceful and work with individual preferences and abilities.

This course will develop the skills required to apply strength-based principles to the management of your staff, along with providing foundation knowledge for those new to this approach. It also provides specific resources and templates for use on the job.

Topics include:

Understanding strength-based approaches
Goal orientation

The IDEA framework for building strengths
Identify
Declare
Employ
Advance

Assessing strengths, aptitudes and potential
Strengths-based language
Addressing concerns within a strength-based framework
Linking strengths with resources
Collaborative capacity building
