Great Leadership Means Transparency About Your Strengths!

Great leaders share their strengths and weaknesses with their followers.  Great leaders are transparent about who they are.

A lot of women find it hard to own their strengths, much less talk about them, and that makes it hard to be a top leader!

I see 4 phases of dealing with your strengths:

1.  Denial/minimization.  When people compliment you on your strengths, you may deny it “That’s not a big deal.  What I did wasn’t truly important.”  You may wonder “Doesn’t everyone else do it that way?”  And the answer is NO – no one else has your particular strengths and abilities!

2.  Awareness.  “Oh, this is me using my strength here. I see how my empathy shows up. That’s cool.”

3.  Ownership.   “I own this and I can make conscious choices about who to use it with and when to use it.”

When you’re unconscious about your strengths, you can easily be overusing or underusing them.

The overusing comes from using your strengths with everyone all the time, even in situations where it’s not a match. For example, if it’s easy for you to see the potential in people, the overuse of that looks like you invest a lot of energy into people who’ve repeatedly demonstrated that they do not wish to change or grow.

4.  Leverage.  You can go beyond the conscious use of your strengths in the moment to really planning ahead and being strategic about using your strengths.

You can ask yourself questions like, “How can my strengths support me to move up to the next level? What’s the best use of those strengths to really help me recruit an extra person each month? What’s the best use of my strength to really support me to shift my marketing?”
