What is Management By Strengths?
The Management By Strengths (MBS) system provides tools to increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction and employee morale through an improved understanding of how to work together more effectively.
MBS focuses on individuals' positive characteristics.
The MBS profile indicates a person’s temperament traits, strength patterns, and communication style. MBS identifies four traits: Directness, Extroversion, Pace, and Structure. Each trait is associated with a number of characteristics and behaviors. The MBS program is not a system for stereotyping, but for recognizing the positive and strong traits of colleagues in order to work with people in the way to which they will best respond. The program shows employers and managers how to capitalize on their employees’ strengths, and how to achieve consensus and agreement much more quickly.
MBS is an outward-focused, proactive team building program.
MBS goes far beyond just describing human temperament traits. Gaining a better understanding of one’s temperament is an important first step, but most "personality profiling programs" stop there. With the Management By Strengths program, employees quickly learn to apply simple principles to focus on the strengths of their coworkers. Employees can improve relationships with their colleagues within a day, which might otherwise take years.
MBS is easy to implement and easy to understand.
The MBS profile is provided in graphic, color coded, and text formats, supporting different learning styles. Employees' families can also take the survey at no additional charge, thereby reinforcing workplace learning and skill building. Online MBS tools provide tailored guidance for working with team members and colleagues.
Lawrence Research Associates services:
• Identification – Employees’ basic temperament traits are identified by completing the MBS survey. This can be done online and takes less than 10 minutes.
• Understanding – Employees attend an in-house Management By Strengths seminar to develop a practical understanding of their resulting MBS Profile Reports.
• Application – During the Management By Strengths seminar, employees learn to quickly apply their MBS skills to improve both professional and personal relationships.
