What does it take to maximise the full potential of a leading company’s human resources?
That was one of the key questions posed at an Executive Breakfast Masterclass hosted by executive search agency Monroe Consulting Group Mexico in association with highly respected Spain-based IE Business School this month.
Monroe Mexico marketing analyst Mariana Moreno said her company’s team of recruitment consultants and executives from a number of leading companies enjoyed the informative Masterclass, which featured a presentation by Joaquin Uríbarri, director of Global Outreach and professor at the business university headquartered in Madrid.
She said Professor Uríbarri focused on the development of new leadership skills, based on his extensive experience working with managers and companies in developing employees to achieve or exceed their full potentials.
“A key message that came across was that positive psychology improves an individual’s potential by developing strengths,” she said.
“In contrast to ‘classic’ psychology, which focuses on the treatment of weaknesses in behaviour and attitude, positive psychology maximises performance by working on strengths.
