Welcome back to Leading StandOut Teams, Course 4: Putting Strengths to Work! Module 3 will explore how team members can work with each other based on strengths. Is your team talking about how excited they are to be working with others on a project? Are they happy that you're encouraging them to explore what energizes them? Or are they complaining and venting about their teammates (including you)? What story are they telling? Helping your team members work well with each other will go a long way toward making that story a positive one.
