Today, I went to a Women in Technology Group Meeting to participate in a Leadership and Management Session about Strengths. Prior to the session I filled in the survey to determine my top 5 strengths based on a Gallup Tool. The overall results of this survey were not surprising for me or unexpected. One of the questions that was asked at my table was - what good is this if you are not a leader or going to be a leader within a company?
I think that the best outlook to have on all of these tools, is that they give you a better idea of who you are and what skills and strengths you are able to offer any organizaiton. To have a foundational knowledge of this puts you in a better position to be more understanding of situations and better able to deal with issues. I think it also gives you some perspective about future career planning!
One final point to leave you with... concentrate on your strengths and outsource your weaknesses will make you a better leader!
