You already know your strengths, and possibly your weaknesses.

Knowing that: Talent + Knowledge + Skill = Strength

What are you doing to keep your strengths in-check so they do not move over onto the weakness side? Since overusing your strengths is a sign to derail your career, begin to ask for feedback and be open to what others tell you. Without any consequences, sit down with your employees, for example, and ask them to be honest and ask for their thoughts, ideas and opinions of where they see the organization going, what changes they would make if they were in a leadership position, give them decision-making responsibilities, discuss challenges and problem-solving with their co-workers. This results in empowering your employees to create and produce great/extraordinary/remarkable results.

As a leader, go out onto the floor and talk with a few of your employees daily. Granted, this is the “lead-by-walking” technique, and it let’s your employees know who you are and be able to interact with them. get to know how your organization actually works. And remember to think: What’s working, what’s not working, and what’s working really well?

This tells you what changes you may need to make with your existing people and processes. Have your employees involved in some of the changes you want to make. If you do not get their buy-in, the changes will either not happen, or you may not get the results you expect.

Be more aware of yourself and of those around you. Give others the credit they deserve for their ideas, thoughts and opinions. You just might be surprised to see the results you get.
