The Strengths Factor of ACTIVE© Leadership

The Strengths Factor of ACTIVE© Leadership

In today’s world, leadership isn’t about titles, authority, or being the loudest in the room. It’s about how we show up, connect, and lead with intention. The real impact of leadership lies in how we harness our unique strengths—and those of others—to unlock potential and build something meaningful. This is where the ACTIVE© Leadership model comes in.

ACTIVE© is more than just a catchy acronym. It’s a strengths-based, human-first framework that supports modern leaders in navigating change, complexity, and culture with clarity and courage. Whether you’re leading a team, a community, or your own development, understanding the strengths factor behind ACTIVE© can shift how you lead for good.

Why It Matters: The Power of Strengths-Based Leadership

Leaders often focus on fixing problems or weaknesses. But what if our biggest growth areas are actually found in what’s already working?

Strengths-based leadership flips the script. It encourages us to lead from a place of self-awareness, confidence, and curiosity—spotting potential instead of only risk. When leaders understand and activate their natural strengths (and help others do the same), they unlock better performance, stronger relationships, and more sustainable results.

Inclusion, wellbeing, and engagement don’t happen by chance. They are built when leaders are fully present, connected, and intentional. The ACTIVE© model helps leaders lean into that space with purpose.

Core Concepts Behind the ACTIVE© Approach

The ACTIVE© framework isn’t a checklist—it’s a mindset and a movement. Each element builds on the next to support strengths-led, inclusive, and empowering leadership:

A – Aware

Self-awareness is the foundation of great leadership. It means knowing your values, recognising your emotional patterns, and understanding your impact. Strengths-based leaders check in with themselves regularly, ask for feedback, and lead with integrity.

C – Connecting

True leadership is relational. It’s about building trust, belonging, and human connection—especially across difference. Connecting means listening deeply, holding space for others, and leading with empathy.

T – Targeted

Being focused doesn’t mean being rigid. Targeted leadership is about aligning your strengths to clear goals. It’s knowing your why and helping your team see the big picture while celebrating the small wins.

I – Innovative

Innovation isn’t just for tech teams. It’s a mindset of curiosity, creativity, and courage. Strengths-based leaders create safe spaces for experimentation and failure, encouraging new ideas and fresh thinking.

V – Versatile

In a world that changes fast, leaders must adapt. Versatile leadership means staying flexible, managing uncertainty, and learning as you go. It’s about switching gears when needed without losing your core.

E – Engaging

The best leaders inspire action. Engaging leadership invites participation, motivates through meaning, and champions progress. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present and committed.
