StrongSuits presentation slides

Editor's Notes

  1. Strongsuits is an innovative strengths-based people and organisational development tool that uses playing cards and games to help teams have fun and feel energised whilst generating high-impact conversations about how people behave and how they can develop.
  2. StrongSuits is designed to help people build stronger teams There are four conversations the cards help teams have: Strengths Limitations Diversity and respect Team style – Communication, accountability, conflict
  3. The strongsuits cards help teams identify their own and others strengths
  4. The stat is from stanford university in the US and is based on work they did with their engineering students Each year students are enterd into a national competition in teams At one time the teams were self selected –people tended to work with people they liked The university the introduced a personality profile to select the teams Over the next ten years teams from Stanford won three times as many awards as in the previous ten years More than 40 studies including Researchers from McKinsey and Co have found similar results Its not enough just to know each others strengths The real key is diversity
  5. But the problem is that we prefer to work with people who are like us – we might even feel that the people who don’t think and behave like us are irritating or annoying
  6. Exercise - What are your strengths? Arrange the cards in four suits Go through the cards and pick one card from each group of 4 – when you are at your best which strength most applies to you Count the cards – which suit do you have most of?
