The San Bernardino County Department of Child Support Services (SBDCSS) incorporated a strengths-based approach to leadership and staff development. The Strengths approach allows supervisors to cultivate and lead teams based on an individualâs natural talents. Managing teams and leading projects is more effective when you have the right people, and they are operating in areas in which they naturally thrive. Strengths help individuals understand how they are uniquely designed and how to leverage their natural talents. As they learn more, it builds confidence in knowing what they bring to the work environment. It enhances appreciation for others and creates an openness to a more diverse and inclusive organizational culture.
