GYCZ – We Focus On Our Flaws, Not Strengths

  

Sharing this post because it’s such a thought provoking read. I have had the experience described in the excerpt below.




“When a leader gets a 360 feedback report from his or her direct reports, peers, manager, and others, his or her natural instinct is to skim past positive ratings and comments and look at “where I need to improve.” Zenger Folkman research shows unless there’s a fatal flaw needing immediate attention, this is off track. The best that MIGHT happen is the leader raises a few of his or her competencies from poor to average.”


The article recommends focusing on competencies that truly drive results in various disciplines, and emphasizing these.

I find the content from the Clemmer Group and their associates at Zenger Folkman to be consistently high quality.
