Leading strengths-based practice frameworks: Strategic Briefing (2018)

The purpose of this briefing is to explore how leadership activity and organisational cultures and structures affect the ability of practitioners to adopt and use strengths-based approaches. It provides an introduction to the theoretical underpinning and practical application of strengths-based approaches, explores messages from research and highlights issues leaders need to consider in relation to:

• How organisational culture and climate affect practice.
• Implementing changes and the adoption of new approaches.
• Sustaining change through ongoing learning and development.
