80% of people are not engaged at work.

by Rick Baker
On Oct 26, 2012

Most people have, at best, a vague understanding of their personal strengths.

They have perceptions of things they can do well...but, they have little understanding of "why".

Without an understanding of "why" they have little ability to put their natural talents to best use or to full use.

That’s one of the main reasons 80% of people are not engaged at work.

Again - Most people have, at best, a vague understanding of their personal strengths.

And - Most people have even less understanding of other people's personal strengths.

That’s another one of the main reasons 80% of people are not engaged at work.

***

Most people understand results better than causes...and personal strengths are the root causes leading to success-effects.

Most people, if they apply their minds to it can gain a good understanding of their personal strengths.

Most people do not take the time to apply their minds in that direction.

They are too busy. 

As a result, most workplaces score poorly when it comes to putting personal strengths to work. 

Personal strengths align with good feelings and better results. 

When feelings and actions are out of synch with personal strengths we see:

  • Substandard performance
  • Negative attitude
  • Inattention
  • Errors
  • Fire Fighting

And we see 80% of people not engaged at work.
