Positive-Strength
The sparkling engine of hope, resilience and flourishing
Not positive thinking, but taking seriously what goes well and what recharges people. It denies nothing: it adds a second ledger, one of resources. Actually being able to use your strengths is associated with better wellbeing.
What you may notice at work
- Deep concentration, an eye for detail, seeing patterns others miss, honestly saying what you see.
- Someone comes alive with a subject that really grips them.
- Or the opposite: less and less enjoyment, while the work itself has not changed.
What helps
- Divide tasks by strengths: one person does the analysis, the other the liaison.
- Name what goes well, concretely and separately from points to work on.
- Step in early: dropping something is easy when it happens in time.
- Protect time for work that gives energy.
