Internalizing Strengths: An Overlooked Way of Overcoming Weaknesses in Managers
Because executives tend to be problem solvers, they typically focus on weaknesses when they want to improve their performance. This approach can be helpful but there is another that can be just as effective: recognizing strengths. A senior manager whom the author interviewed said this about a top person: «If he saw his own strengths and internalized them, a lot of his weaknesses would go away.» In this report, the author explains why it is critical to recognize strengths in order to improve performance and why it is often difficult to get that notion across to executives. For practicing managers and those who develop them, this report offers sound but often neglected developmental principles for overcoming weaknesses.
Forceful Leadership and Enabling Leadership: You Can Do Both
Leaders need to be forceful–to assert themselves and their capabilities and to push others to perform. Leaders also need to be enabling–to tap into and bring out the capabilities of others. The problem is that many executives see forceful leadership and enabling leadership as mutually exclusive, or strongly prefer one or the other, and therefore lack the versatility to be truly effective. This publication explains how executives can overcome the emotional barriers to expanding their skill sets in one direction or the other.
