The Focus+ program principles:
– No people, no numbers
– All people want to perform well
– People who have the opportunity to do what they do best at work every day will be more engaged, as a consequence they will perform better
– Focus on strengths, and a weakness… you will have to manage around it.
Focus on strengths
Discover and understand your own strengths first
Use your strengths in work and life
Know and understand the strengths of your colleagues.
Manage around weaknesses
We all have our lesser talents, that is normal and not an issue. However, missing a talent needed in your role becomes a weakness. Then you have to manage around it. In teams this can be done through partnering.
Managers
Focus+ is closely connected with The People Agenda, the Delta D program for great managers. If all results are achieved by people, it makes sense to give them full focus. Managers are close to the action and can really make a difference here by hiring, deploying and coaching people based on strengths.
