STRENGTHS BASED LEADERSHIP
Great Leaders, Teams and Why People Follow

MAIN IDEA
After Gallup studied more than 1 million work teams and interviewed 20,000 leaders and
10,000 followers worldwide, it was found the best and most effective leaders do three things well:

To become a better and more effective leader yourself, start by figuring out what your own personal strengths are. Once you know what specific strengths you bring to the table, you can then start working on honing those strengths and enhancing them even further. If you keep at this, you will be doing all you can to become a great leader and if you’re fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time, you may get involved in projects that live on long after you’re gone. The best leaders always live on because they shape the thoughts and beliefs of the people within their organizations.
“When we invest our financial resources, we understand that it’s best to bet on winning funds, stocks and companies. Most of us know better than to sink all our money into a business that has continually struggled. Yet when we think about how to invest our personal resources, we continue to put more time and energy into perennial losers.
Instead of honing our natural strengths, we strive to fill in what nature left out. The path of great leadership starts with a deep understanding of the strengths you bring to the table.” –

    I have learned that leadership is much more than being able to make business decisions and having a group of people under one’s supervision. Leadership is a multifaceted position that encompasses that an individual who is or wants to be a leader must have self-confidence, embrace adversity, have a support system and trusting one’s decisions. These underlying characteristics to possess leadership are some that I have now and some that I am constantly working on to gain and…

    There are many ways a person can be a leader. The way I show my leadership qualities is through listening and helping other people where they need it. Not all leaders need to be the stereotypical loud person of the group. In many ways good leaders are the opposite. A good leader sees what needs done and does it often times without others realizing. They put the group’s needs before their own. One area where I have stepped up to become more of a leader is through ski club. In ski club it takes a bit of a group effort especially when there is just one advisor. I listened and filled in to help where it was needed. For example, I would take beginners to get their rentals and teach them the basics like how to put on their ski pass. I also stuck with the beginners throughout their process of learning. In ski club my leadership qualities showed by listening to who needed help and by doing what I could to lend a hand, whether that was staying with beginners all day or giving them directions to the chairlift. Leadership qualities are important to have and I believe I show mine in a more subtle but effective…
