"But I get evaluated yearly based on my weaknesses"-my response
Recently I attended a seminar based on the book Strengths Finder 2.0. After reading the book, and answering the 177 question questionnaire, the seminar tied many pieces together.
Once we had taken the questionnaire we were given a report with five of our strengths. During class we met in groups with people who had the same strengths as ourselves. WOW! I immediately saw in others what I know I have in me.
In one such group we discussed our passion for learning. One of the participants even wondered how to pass on the learning to her team. My suggestion was a lunch and learn seminar like the ones I held for a new hire network group.
It was interesting to note how people used their strengths. But the big AHA moment came when the achiever group, one of my strengths, presented their finding. It made me question whether my strengths and my values were aligned. At times they are not. Most people in the class had family as their highest value.
Today's question is:
"What is your strongest strength?"
