February 11, 2015THE FOCUS ON FIXING PROBLEMS NOT DRIVING STRENGTHS
Organizations /people have a predisposed focus on fixing an organizational problem. Everyone likes to talk about what we could do better, and in many cases, they want to talk about what “YOU” could do better. Growth is focused on what we could be doing rather than on what we are doing. Organizational focus starts with maximizing what we are good at, and making sure that we maximize our strengths -not on achieving something new. Maximizing strengths is about “What” that is and “How” we do it. Fixing something or chasing something new is about “Why” we need to do it, and the vision of what success looks like. Drive your strengths, before you change directions.
