Tyler found this link to a YouTube video that reinforces how important it is to focus on our strengths. It's a quick one - 3 minutes.
We didn't take time yesterday during our discussions on PD topics for this year to integrate the Strengths Finder concepts. As you reflect on the goals you have set for this next year, think about how your top 5 strengths influence your ability to achieve these goals. In what ways are you enhancing your talent areas?
Here's an interesting finding: In follow up to the initial Strengths Finder research, Gallup continued on to interview more than 20,000 senior leaders and more than one million work teams. Three key findings emerged:
1. The most effective leaders are always investing in employee strengths.
2. The most effective leaders surround themselves with the right people and then maximize their team. While the best leaders are not well-rounded, the best teams are.
3. The most effective leaders understand their follower' needs, which tend to be related to trust, compassion, stability, and hope.
This information is from a boot written by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie titled "Strengths Based Leadership", and you are welcome to borrow it from my office if you are interested. Just thought you might find this interesting.
