Marcus Buckingham’s new strengths assessment helps leaders find their edge to win at work. Some key takeaways:
- Extraordinary results can be achieved in radically different ways….there is no “perfect profile”
- Your natural edge is where you have an advantage over everyone else…so natural, yet not apparent
- Combination of strengths is who you are….you need to understand it, control it, and make it work for you
- Performance is the sum of the choices you make
- Sustained success is using your strengths…apply them consciously every day
- Strength roles include: advisor, connector, creator, equalizer, influencer, pioneer, provider, stimulator, and teacher.
