I took a Clifton Strengths test along with a Kolbe test and a values test…once you triangulate your strengths (WHAT you have) with HOW you act and WHY you act - it’s a pretty amazing feeling.
I find it very frustrating when others don’t want to solve problems or have urgency to do so. lol I’m like, “oh there is a problem? Yay!!!! Let’s solve it!” To me it’s so much fun because it’s like a Rubik’s cube puzzle in my mind. Once I solve it or have a light bulb moment, I can the tools in one hand & my will in the other. I am just like, “let’s go baby!” I find it so boring when others don’t want to solve the problem.
I was in a bing on political debat, commentary, and conflict & i thought this os not what i want right now... what do i want? I want to be like Author the Mad Scientist Micheal Jordan of learning , teqching, & implementing what he is passionate about. THIS is what the news & media should be focused on maximizing & inspiring human potential - not limiting or weaponizing it. Thank you Gallup & Mr. Brooks.
Great video. You've helped me become learn more about Global Talen Development Architecture, Diversity Council Chair, Leading through change (and the 3 key responsibilities: Anticipation, communication, control), Strength-based Leadership, the certified coaching community, 4 needs of followers, and the reasons for resistance to change. Also, to help anyone else that wonders about the Seven Demands of Leadership: Visioning Maximizing Values Challenging Experience Mentoring Building a Constituency Making Sense of Experience Knowing Self
Now I am curious about the 6 to 10 talents for @Arthur Brooks. Willing to share? I have Connectedness#1, so it is very hard for me to stop and #5. I need to see the whole picture.
We have to get used to going into groups who think they are hot stuff and not just being a Debby downer despite seeing the writing on the wall. And basically be more strategic about how we work on thise
I do think too we need a good model for teaching people to solve their own problems as other wise we can get frustrated and impatient and kinda just try to fix it. I know part of the model is making sure they develop the habit of asking questions especially the “W’s and h” ones and to get them to make it reflexive. It may be neccesary to help them use a sort of somatic practice to access the question state instead of freezing and staying stuck in defectivness and powerlessness, freeze and shut down can cause us to not think, and in this case MINKING, or moving and thinking can help, ice baths also can shock you out of shut down, and just need safe relationships to sustain that. So those are elements to teaching that problem solving.
Strategic and input and futuristic and restorative and command and woo, like its hyper connected thinking as long as you have an ego about what your consuming, like it needs to be moving you forward and building you.
I believe legacy is misleading. Significance is my highest but I don’t really care about a legacy. I am more concerned about now (the present) and I just want what I’m doing to matter (transformative/potent/something I value vs just checking the block/business)
#1 Communication and "this email should have been a meeting" is so relevant right now! One of my direct reports left our organization recently, so I've been needing to do her work (facilities/rentals management) in the interim until we hire someone else. My direct report used to do almost all her correspondence by email - I think as a "cover your butt" mechanism so that she could say, "No, look, I responded to this person! See! Here's the email chain!" But for me, pretty much everything she did as email, I try to immediately take to a zoom or in-person meeting because I just find them so much more efficient for this kind of work (we can hash everything out in a half-hour instead of four days of emails). The most hilarious part is that in my normal work, I almost never have meetings - maybe one or two a week. So it never occurred to me that "actually, MORE meetings" would be the answer to anything lol. (Admittedly, I do find having four meetings in a day to be especially draining, but I think that's a workload thing as opposed to a meetings thing.)
