The Strengths Philosophy
-
Top achievers fully recognize their talents and build on them to develop strengths
-
Top achievers apply their greatest talents in roles that best suit them, and subsequently partner with those to tackle tasks that do not suit them.
-
Top achievers invent ways to apply their greatest talents to their achievement tasks. They use them to overcome obstacles and invent new ways of capitalizing on them.

Wrap Up
"A leader needs to know his/her strengths as a carpenter knows his tools, or as a physician knows the instruments at her disposal. What great leaders have in common is that each truly knows his or her strengths-and can call on the right strength at the right time. This explains why there is no definitive list of characteristics that describes all leaders."
