March Spotlight 2025 - Unlocking Team Effectiveness
Why this matters now - When Dr Paul Brewerton created Strengthscope® nearly 20 years ago, they were ahead of the curve, positive psychology was still emerging and strengths-based research was in its infancy. Fast forward to 2025, and the principles of well-being, meaningful work, and playing to strengths have become essential to modern organisational thinking. In today’s complex and highly collaborative work environment, businesses face new challenges:
- The rise of AI and digital transformation
- Hybrid work and shifting workplace expectations
- Leading and managing multi-generational teams
- The need for authentic leadership and human connection
Teams remain the heart of every organisation. More than ever, people define their workplace experience by their day-to-day interactions within teams. Whether working within or across teams, greater collaboration and effectiveness are key to success.With 5%-10% increases in productivity, engagement, and well-being now within reach for organisations that embrace strengths-based development, the ability to unlock effective teamwork has never been more critical. At our recent spotlight session, together we explored:
- Insights from the new Strengthscope® Report on leadership and team effectiveness
- Pre- and post-pandemic shifts in team collaboration and strengths-based leadership
- How strengths assessments can drive deeper human connection and collaboration
- Practical strategies to help teams thrive in today’s fast-changing world
We were fortunate to be joined by Ben Oliver and Paul Mehra from Strengthscope who shared the highlights from the report and helped us to question and challenge our current thinking around team effectiveness today. Both Ben and Paul are Strengthscope experts and bought their passion for strengths along with their expert experience and knowledge with them to this session.
