RECOGNIZING YOUR STRENGTHS FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

You want to evolve yourself actively – dare I say intentionally. You have some sense of what you want out of life and what gets in the way of you having what you want. What if you could see yourself and your natural strengths? What if, by recognizing your strengths, you could leverage them more effectively? And what if by understanding your natural strengths, you could also see your blind spots?

USE THE NATURAL APPROACH TO DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS 

Your natural strengths allow you to perform effectively – even beyond what others can do. Some of us can organize the hell out of a closet in record time, while others can engage friends and co-workers to get up and achieve something monumental together. Both are valuable. And both tap into the power of human potential.

What if our parents, teachers, sports, hobbies, jobs and partners all cause us to develop individual abilities that become natural for us more than others (Natural Abilities). In some respects, our circumstances empower some natural abilities more than others.

Consider a child growing up on a farm with horses and their natural abilities. Then consider a child of a single working mom in a city. Each would have very different natural abilities.

The reality is that we likely have over-developed and under-developed natural abilities. Meaning that some of our natural approaches are so deeply ingrained we’ll overuse our natural ability. Consider the person with only hammer for a tool. The whole world starts to look like a nail. Typically screws work more effectively with a screwdriver than a hammer – personal experience on that one. If we don’t have a screwdriver to work with, we still use the hammer, even if we know it is not effective. Developing more tools allows for more effective solutions. Knowing more natural approaches provides for more effective communication and solutions.

Your natural abilities are a massive source of performance and achievement in your life. What if you could actively evolve your natural abilities to create more value?

So, if this is true, then we also have natural abilities that are less developed. Those under-developed abilities could be the source of great effectiveness when you decide to develop them.

This is what our Natural Series programs help you and your team achieve.

If we look at natural abilities, we might conclude that social and communication skills might be less than desired. Developing an internal program for your team to foster social and communication skills based on the natural approach of themselves and others could have a lasting impact on the entire organization.

Understanding your natural approach starts with an assessment. Want to learn your natural approach? Take the leadership self assessment, and start your journey to recognizing strengths, naturally.
