As the Director of People for Carter Myers Automotive, I’m involved with our employee development program “Moving Lives Forward” (MLF). We’re rolling out the CliftonStrengths® assessment to our 1,300 employees so they can identify their talents, apply them to their work, and turn them into strengths.
Our CEO Liza Borches, discussed this initiative on our podcast:
Each month, we focused on a different business skill related to strengths like:
talent discovery
problem-solving
managing change
applying talent
We have 12 lessons to celebrate at the end of this year. You probably know the familiar Christmas song, "The 12 Days of Christmas." Here's a version celebrating the 12 months of CliftonStrengths.
