Strengths Based Approach
Strengths-Based Approach
The Strength-Based approach is a “work practice theory” which focuses on an individual’s self-determination and strength (Strengths-Based Models in Social Work; McCashen, Wayne [2005]). This approach builds the team member’s ability to engage their strengths, specifically seeing themself as resourceful and resilient when they are in adverse conditions (Strengths-Based Models; McCashen, Wayne [2005]).
A strengths approach is a positive and collaborative approach that channels intrinsic motivation and core strength. Focusing on strengths does not mean ignoring challenges or struggles. The strengths approach has broad applicability across several settings. Strong evidence supports that a strengths-based approach can improve social networks and relationships and enhance well-being, resilience and goal achievement. It can also be a positive support tool in understanding and resolving character conflict with a renewed sense of hope and greater trust within the relationship.
A strength-based approach promotes positive views of individuals and takes focus away from blame or judgment on a societal level. This alternative view may contribute to increased empathy and a path to a commitment to building positive support and outcomes. This is highly relevant in the customer service industry and enables staff to better understand their client’s needs and appreciate client frustrations through a strengths lens.
The Strengths-Based Approach Program is tailored and may include:
- Discover the principles and research supporting a strengths approach
- VIA strengths use in a work environment – engaging intrinsic motivation
- Strengths coaching and STRONG goalsetting framework ( ASA Authentic Strengths Model)

Book Recommendations and Research References
We recommend Kym Cameron Cameron, K. S. (2008). Positive leadership.
He describes what makes positive leadership so positive—what he terms “positively deviant performance”—and notes some of the results you can expect from such leadership, including impressive gains in productivity and effectiveness. Kim Cameron is one of Jane’s personal favourite researchers – a great gift for a leadership conference.
