Show Notes: Book of the Week – Strengths Based LeadershipEpisode 228 of The HaltingWinter Podcast
Episode Overview
In this introductory episode, Seth explores how local government's obsession with well-rounded leaders is actually undermining leadership effectiveness. Drawing from Tom Rath and Barry Conchie's research in "Strengths Based Leadership," Seth challenges the unspoken expectation that city managers, county administrators, and department heads should excel at everything from budget analysis to crisis communication.
Key topics include recognizing your natural leadership domain, stopping the cycle of weakness-focused development, and beginning to see team composition as the path to organizational effectiveness.
