Sure Shot Ways to Build a Strong Organization

Sure Shot Ways to Build a Strong Organization

The book Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham gives you a list of 34 specific strengths that may help you in life and each of the strengths are so described that with some honest analysis you will be able to quickly find out what are your own strengths (on the negative side, you will also know your weaknesses). It would be difficult for you (for me also) to admit that we are not strong in every area, though the sooner we do it, the better.

Knowing Weaknesses Also Helps

Next to follow in the book by Marcus Buckingham is a question and answer session, to help you identify your strengths better. While most of the questions are expected (come as no surprise), some questions are definitely interesting. Learning about your weaknesses also helps you improve your overall personality since you would become a better person as a result. For example, you will easily know which tasks should be delegated to others. Or even better, you would be able to form a team that complements you well so that you may deliver great results. The people you work with should be strong in those areas where you are weak.

Maximize Your Gifts

Another interesting point covered by the book Now, Discover Your Strengths is that you may end up focusing more than necessary on your own strengths. The question arises, is that bad for you? The author Marcus Buckingham says it's not. If you are focusing on your strengths, you are maximizing the benefits for you, using the true gifts given to you by God, instead of being stuck with the weaknesses.

Building a Strong Team

By now it may appear common knowledge that we (as individual workers) need to know our strengths and weaknesses, but how can we manage an entire workplace with workers having different strengths? While the advice provided by the author Marcus Buckingham comes by tones, many of them are pretty detailed, especially when he talks about how one can manage entire workplace consisting of workers with different strengths.

Just Pay Attention and You'll Know

Even those managers who do not like to conduct tests on each of their employees to find out their strengths and weaknesses, they may still find out the relevant information by paying careful attention to each of the employees. The book closes by telling you how to organize an entire workplace by focusing on the individual strengths of each worker and maximizing output in the workplace. The biggest task, for you, therefore is to find out which positions require which strengths and then placing the right people in right jobs. You need extremely good advance planning to achieve this, though once you implement the correct plan; the organization is likely to roll its way towards success.
