Last week we shared thoughts on bonding with associate veterinarians from Brian Conrad, DVM. He indicated he was quick to lead team building. We commented that sales representatives can often provide resources and help lead the activities.
CliftonStrengths provides powerful team building opportunities. The possible individual and team outcomes are worth considering. Strength Finders has helped me work with and develop individuals and teams more than a few times.
Gallup has released a manager’s report applicable to team building and bonding as described by Conrad.

Managers either help a company grow or make it fall behind and there is no in between. . .”
INSIGHTS: The Clifton Strengths assessment has now been completed by more than 25 million people. The premise is to study and learn what is right with people compared to what’s wrong with them. Learning individual strengths unlocks potential and sharing a team view can create greater understanding and performance.
For me, simply providing the book, asking the team to read the first 40 pages, take the assessment and share their top five strengths gave me an opportunity to learn about individuals and share rudimentary insights with the team as a whole. The discussions following were awesome and sustainable. I believe this exceeds other gamification method experiences.
