How All Strengths Have the Potential for Influence

Welcome to the next installment of the Leadership Vision Podcast where we share our expertise in the discovery, practice, and implementation of CliftonStrengths.

On this episode of the Leadership Vision podcast, we’re confronting the assumptions that specific Strengths are good "leadership Strengths." There’s a painful idea out there that leaders should possess particular Strengths, and if a person doesn’t have those, they won’t make for an effective leader. We think it probably comes from using one or two successful leader types as the mold by which ALL leaders should copy. An effective leader can have ANY number of Strengths combinations. There is no mold.

In this episode, Brian shares the stories of three leaders he taught at one of our Learning Community experiences. If you’re not familiar with this, our Learning Community is part of our core process of professional services and is a culminating Team experience that integrates Strengths learning 1 to 1 conversations, and thoughtful observations shared through a visual narrative. You can go back and listen to episode 8 and episode 9 of the podcast for more details.
