Strength-based leadership


Through strength-based leadership, anyone can be successful.  Learning your strengths and the strengths of others and using them effectively can produce positive results.  Don’t spend too much time thinking about the areas in which you are weak.  By effectively using your strengths, it’s possible to accomplish so much.  I am not the most creative person, but when gathering a team together, I can find a creative person to add to my team.  When everyone focuses on their individual strengths and incorporates them into accomplishing the team’s mission, we will produce positive results.  Don’t spend a large amount of time kicking yourself about what you don’t have, but use your strengths and go from there.  Effectively using your strengths will make up for the areas where you are weak.  Working with a team, having everyone’s strengths available to tap, will be more beneficial than just one person working to accomplish a task.

  1. I like how you said we should not spend too much time thinking about our weaknesses. I believe that by using the strengths of all teams then the team can accomplish their goals more effectively.

  2. Identifying your strengths and weaknesses as a leader help you to better identify the strength of the individuals you collaborate with. Ones weakness is another strength.

  3. I agree that it is a waste of time to focus one's weaknesses, we should focus on talents instead. However, it is easier said than done for me. I want to be good at everything and believe in the statement practice makes perfect. I have to tell myself "your best is good enough" over and over again.
