Abstract
What happens when leaders support employees in capitalizing on their strengths? Using theory on the reflected best-self, we argue that when leaders go beyond a focus on fixing employee deficits and encourage strengths use, they foster employee self-efficacy and diminish silence behavior. One boundary condition: the leader’s integrity.
