Empowering a workforce through the discovery of natural strengths

Imagine turning the federal government workforce of some four million employees into a highly efficient and productive organization, motivated around each employee’s individual strengths. That’s the mission that former Rhode Island Leadership Rhode Island Executive Director Mike Ritz, now Gallup’s Executive Director/Federal Government has undertaken. He’s still at the beginning of this 10-year project, a year and a half in. Mike shares with us early assessments of the federal workforce, the importance of the CliftonStrengths assessment not only helping each federal employee understand and utilize their greatest strengths, but also how the process can benefit governments, schools, non-profits, and even small businesses.
