Using Your Talents to Lift Performance
Dr. Alexis Smith Washington — Spears School of Business Senior Inclusion Officer, Associate Professor of Management and William S. Spears Chair of Business Administration
How do you feel after a long day at work? Invigorated? Drained? Are your employees working to their potential, or do they feel they are just working to kill time? Unfortunately, our culture is obsessed with weaknesses, and we tend to emphasize the negatives when it comes to our and other’s performance. As such, we do not spend enough energy focusing on what we do well.
Based on the work of Marcus Buckingham, we will discuss how to work from our strengths, rather than our weaknesses. We will also discuss how we can use positive influence to lift the performance of others.
This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for Executive and Professional Development in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.3 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
