Research of transitioning managers has found that those who focused on two to three top strengths had more than a 50% increase in performance compared to managers who did not focus on strengths.Stop trying to be good at everything. Focusing on strengths related to managerial effectiveness is the fastest, most effective way to get a performance boost. We don't need to pretend that we're perfect. Nor do we need to try to be strong at everything. As you can see in the chart above, performance increase starts to level off after those first couple of strengths. Spending time and energy to get to 10 strengths might not be worth the marginal increase. Instead, we must understand where we have strengths.Instructions: Use this exercise to identify some potential key strengths you can focus on.
