Barry’s Corner - Why focus on strengths?

by Rick Baker
On Oct 7, 2010
Recently I asked my friend Barry the question,
 
Why do you recommend a focus on people’s strengths?
 
Barry shared the following thoughts.
 
When we focus on people’s strengths…
  1. We look in the mirror and that helps us understand ourselves
  2. We concentrate on other people and their uniqueness
  3. We have an opportunity for a positive experience for everybody
  4. The process itself helps create better results on many fronts, for example, we effectively apply The 80-20 Rule
More about people’s strengths in future Thought Posts…
 
Footnote:
According to the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment, Barry’s Top 5 themes are: Strategic, Individualization, Futuristic, Woo, & Communication.

Sales Tweet #59 Check your journal...how many C-level people did you connect with during the last 30 days?
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
It is relatively easy to connect with C-level people. Many sales gurus have written numerous chapters, full of suggestions. Yet - as we talk with sales people we find the vast majority rarely meet C-level people and very few sales people have set a goal for meeting C-level people.
