Benefits of Creating a Strengths-Based Organizational Culture
Introduction
Organizational leaders are confounded by culture, particularly because it is centered on unspoken mindsets, social patterns, and behaviors. Many executives either let culture go unmanaged or relegate it to the human resources department, which conceives it as a secondary facet of the organization. Nevertheless, executives need to understand the impact of different cultures on the organization. Within a strengths-based culture, managers, leaders, and workers continually develop each person’s potential, culminating in an engaged staff and organic organizational growth. Strengths-based organizations combine strengths development into their vision, values, processes, and mission, including how personnel work and collaborate daily. This culture is significantly linked to staff engagement and high performance.

In other words, a strengths-based organizational culture empowers managers to interact and understand employees, thus enhancing their engagement to the work, which enhances organizational productivity. In addition to engagement, a strengths-based organizational culture provides an avenue for managers to motivate employees to work to their optimal energy and capacity (Gallup Inc., 2022). Employees’ performance increases when executives motivate them via rewards. Motivation is positively correlated to employees’ performance (Siswanto et al., 2021). Therefore, the more motivated employees, the higher the probability of obtaining more sales revenues and improving their performance.
