The document recommends that organizations validate selection criteria, consider implications of the profiles they seek, and engage in development conversations to avoid unwittingly rewarding behaviors that could become problems later on.
Character strengths and virtues are essential elements of Positive psychology. Seligman has given 6 virtues and 24 character strengths which are further explained in the presentation.

The VIA Survey is a self-report questionnaire that measures 24 character strengths which are classified under 6 core virtues. It was developed by the VIA Institute on Character and is based on the VIA Classification of Character Strengths. The VIA Survey has established good reliability and validity and has been translated into several languages. Interpretation of results focuses on identifying a person's top 5 signature strengths. The survey provides a strengths-based perspective and framework that can be applied in various settings.
Self-awareness is essential to individual success, but it’s also critical to healthy team dynamics. While most individuals believe themselves to be capable of true objectivity, each of us harbors subconscious biases that influence our perspective on the world. That perspective influences our behaviors, and the response of others to those behaviors further justifies and ingrains our biases. This cycle threatens objectivity, and ultimately harms interpersonal relationships at work and beyond.
So how do we help leaders control for biases that are deep below the surface? By being alert to potential biases and exploring them with our clients, we can inspire self-awareness and foster the objectivity required to restore a positive team dynamic.
This 60-minute webinar will illuminate 5 types of bias that lead to unintentionally harmful behaviors that can derail an otherwise positive team dynamic, including:
- Mindset effects: a different perspective on the world can shade how we behave toward others
- Interpretive bias: neutral behavior can be misinterpreted based on a subconscious bias
- Estimation errors: calibrating the comfort level of others based on our own levels
- Attribution errors: assigning an erroneous motive to actions and behaviors that are otherwise neutral
- Assumption-based thinking: believing that our personal motivators must apply to others as well

Diversity is a critical issue for organizations. To devalue and exclude employees because they are different is to also place limitations on their contributions and ability to grow. At its best, diversity is a business strategy that has been shown to increase an organization’s ability to achieve better bottom-line performance and sustain its growth and prosperity.
All business problems are people problems. And if you become a Jedi master of understanding and customizing your approach based on behavioral understanding, you gain an unfair advantage in your career.
In world of work, the masters of the universe are usually those who have mastered people skills.
Sometimes, these skills appear to be innate. But don’t be fooled; they can be learned.
The key to interpersonal skill mastery is understanding what makes people tick and adapting your style based on that knowledge. Once you’re able to do that, you’ll gain an upper hand for your career.

Editor's Notes
As a recent student organization president and now as an advisor of a student organization, I know the frustration that accompanies having a group of students that doesn’t seem motivated. No matter how you recruit your student members, whether it’s an open membership or a rigorous application process, it’s happened to all of us. They only show up when they feel like it, do the minimum amount of work, and may even detract from the group morale. But at the same time, when it comes down to it we need bodies in order to make a student organization tick. So what does the research say about motivating students?
