StrengthsMapperTM, a new software add-in for Mindjet® MindManager®
“Mind Mapping was such an amazing breakthrough over things like position papers and plain text in communicating important concepts and ideas,” explained Taylor, “then when the Gallup Corporation rolled out their revolutionary, evidence-based concept of Strengths Based Leadership, putting that together with Mind Mapping was a natural fit. For StrengthsMapper™
Taylor has been an avid mind mapper for years. He found that mapping and sharing complex concepts really facilitated learning and understanding. Using the ‘left and right brain’ capabilities, communication was both enhanced and simplified.
When developing StrengthsMapper™
StrengthsMapper offers two levels of capabilities—
StrengthsMapper Basic not only graphically depicts top strengths, but it also provides a handy Action Plan wizard to help develop and hone those strengths. With customized input, the user develops a personalized action plan that is portable in a variety of venues. The plan can easily be updated as action items are mastered and ‘stretch’ goals are set.
One of the best capabilities is creating a personalized poster from the basic Personal Strengths Map. The power of visualizing to help actualize ideas has been well established. By using the graphic power of MindManager;
StrengthsMapper Pro steps the growth and development tool up to a team and organizational level. It has all the features of StrengthsMapper Basic but adds a Team Building Module. StrengthsMapper Pro gives a manager the ability to create and customize a ‘talent pool’ using the Personal Strengths Maps of employees, colleagues and/or consultants. Recognizing that strengths cluster into four basic Domains of strengths (1. strategic thinking skills, 2. striving skills, 3.relationship building skills, and 4. skills for influencing others), the manager uses a handy wizard to assign the types of domains appropriate to fulfill a particular task, project or function. They then draw from the talent pool to build a team with the exact strengths needed to accomplish their goals. Or create a team map of your existing team for some valuable insights on the strengths and the dynamics of your current team.
When creating a team map the manager can quickly see if there are key strengths missing or over represented. They can change out team members or modify specific assignments based on the best individual strengths of team members.
“Not only is it intuitive that people work better when they are working to their strengths, but years of research have demonstrated its effectiveness time and time again,” continued Taylor. “StrengthsMapper is the first software tool designed to facilitate this concept. Whether it’s used for personal development, team building or analyzing your existing team, it is the only tool combining the power of Mind Mapping with the effectiveness of Strengths Based Leadership.”
