Gallup's Leadership Webinar

Day/Date: Tuesday 11 March

A leader needs to know his strengths as a carpenter knows his tools, or as a physician knows the instruments at her disposal. What great leaders have in common is that each truly knows his or her strengths — and can call on the right strength at the right time.  

         — Don Clifton

Good leaders come in different shapes and sizes, but they have one thing in common – they play to their strengths. In this session, Gallup will outline the strengths-based approach to leadership. By the end of the session, leaders will be able to describe:

• how a strengths-based approach improves engagement and performance
• the 7 expectations of leaders and how strengths can help leaders deliver on them
• practical strategies for being a strengths-based leader
• how to meet the four needs of followers
