Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Both/And, Bessi Graham discusses the strength-based approach to leadership using a strength finder and how to shift focus from weaknesses to strengths for better understanding and confidence. It is advisable to shift your focus from constantly scrutinizing your weaknesses to better comprehending your strengths and contributions. By acknowledging and articulating your strengths, you not only develop a more comprehensive understanding of your abilities but also become more confident and authentic. This enables you to be more open and honest about areas where you may struggle, without compromising your self-esteem. It is essential to note that there is a distinction between confident individuals who are secure in their abilities and those who feign confidence to mask their insecurities. As a leader, establishing a grounded sense of self-awareness can enhance your effectiveness and attract like-minded individuals drawn to authenticity and vulnerability.
