Barry’s Corner - Why focus on strengths?

Leaders' Thoughts

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

Footnote:
According to the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment, Barry’s Top 5 themes are: Strategic, Individualization, Futuristic, Woo, & Communication.
