Show Notes
In this episode you’ll learn that…
Your greatest weakness is your greatest strength

Focusing on fixing your weaknesses is a good intention, but it often misses the opportunities in those weaknesses

Every weakness has a strength and opportunity

It’s important to look differently for people based upon your unique needs that often are the best fit for some people’s weaknesses

Leaders must seek to find a different spot for people with so-called “weaknesses” (instead of changing people’s behaviors, change his position)

The focus should also be on situational change and not just on personal change

The use of assessments of strengths AND weaknesses are an important part of developing yourself and your people

Amplifying your weaknesses is a key to being the best of you and attracting more of the customers and clients you want

You must resist the pressures to be normal and to conform

Divergence from normal is critical for innovation and getting people excited about their work

"Normal" employees suck

Excellence happens when you deviate from the norm

Embracing deviance as your objective (over normal) is the path to impact

Diversity and difference are essential for rich experiences and businesses

The pursuit or normal is deeply engrained in our culture and must be resisted

Great leaders help others see the value that’s deep inside them (inviting others into their greatness)
