Does the Strengths-based Approach to Leadership Development Work? Two Points of View

Kaiser, R.B. & Duff, S. (2012, February). Does the Strengths-based Approach to Leadership Development Work? Two Points of View. Invited session presented at the Annual Conference of the St. Louis Organization Development Network, St. Louis, MO.

Along with the rise of the Positive Psychology movement, an approach to leadership development that emphasizes strengths has gained popularity. This method encourages leaders to identify their areas of natural talent and focus on building them to their fullest potential. Compared to the traditional focus on fixing weaknesses, the strengths-based approach has great appeal.

But does it really work? Join us as we explore this question from two distinct perspectives, equally informed by solid research and experience.
