What I learned from Marcus Buckingham...

Three myths you need to blow up

  • As you grow your personality changes.
    Truth: As you grow, you become more and more of who you already are.
  • You grow the most in the areas that you are the weakest.
    Truth: You grow the most in your areas of greatest strength.
  • A great team member puts his strengths aside and does whatever it takes to help the team
    Truth: A great team member brings his best to the table.

Three skills you need to learn

  • Identify what your strengths are.
  • Change something; Each week put together a "Strong Week" plan.
  • Be able to talk about your strengths without bragging and your weaknesses without whining.
