The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Many people complain about the boss. That's the norm.

Few people realize the boss' weaknesses are prime routes to opportunities. That's unfortunate.

Allow your Talents to rescue your boss' weaknesses.

At the conceptual level: identifying patterns, identifying constraints, identifying variables, estimating the extent of scope in flux, and preparing for complexities, uncertainties and ambiguities.

At the detailed level: bringing talents to task, setting simple task-processes, using checklists, and coordinating complicated linkages between processes.

At the communication level: listening and observing, ensuring both message delivery and message receipt, appreciating and expressing differences, taking the time to address and remove understanding-gaps, raising the flag on problems, and influencing in a positive way other people's actions.

At the thoughts-into-action level: planning, implementing, evaluating, and adapting.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The strongest of leaders seek out differences. They know differences capture all the talents & strengths.

Work to build your strengths. Find others who have strengths that cover your weaknesses.
