It seems that word has spread a bit about the strengths philosophy. As part of a leadership mentoring group I facilitated this year, I incorporated the strengths assessment and found the members of the group were willing and interested to learn more. In addition to the "Now Discover Your Strengths" book and online self-assessment, we had a group discussion where we all shared our Top 5 and some observations in our work and home life where we observed our strengths in action.
One new thing I did with this group is had a follow-up session that was based on the Strengths-Based Leadership book. I love this book as it helps leaders focus their strengths in four areas that followers are looking for: stability, hope, trust, compassion. By focus, one of the things this book provides are tools and actions that each leader can take to foster hope, trust, compassion and stability by leverage your natural talents and strengths. This is an area I'd like to learn more about and extend the philosophy to our entire leadership team.....
