SEA Session Highlights on Team Formation based on Individual Strengths with Kathleen Socolofsky - Assistant Vice Chancellor, Director, UC Davis Arboretum & Public Garden

"Strengths lead to Engagement lead to Productivity."

Most workplace management focuses on year-end reviews and pointing out employees’ faults. Gallup’s StrengthsFinder is based on positive psychology and allows people to work together and be engaged in the workplace. Engagement increases productivity 200%.

Great managers let employees do what they do best. Strengths can change depending on where you are in life.
