Time and time again, insecurities and discouragement hinder leaders from fully capitalizing on their strengths. Many leaders with promising futures never see or utilize their potential because they are so bogged down with trying to improve their weaknesses. Learn how to maximize your leadership strengths with the following tips: 

  • Identify your strengths. In order to fully utilize your strengths, you must first identify them. If you are not sure what your strengths are, you can ask someone who has seen you actively performing in a leadership role, or you can evaluate yourself. There are several free strengths finder tests online, a good one to try is this one.

  • Focus on what you do right rather than what you do wrong. Instead of spending so much time trying to improve your weaknesses, redirect that energy towards fully utilizing your strengths. Time spent improving leadership weaknesses is less productive than improving and capitalizing on your strengths

  • Find people to work with who are strong in your weaknesses. Working with people who are strong in your weaknesses will help to highlight your strengths and their strengths while simultaneously diminishing your weaknesses.
