Be a leader at work

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

A counselor works on other weaknesses and tries to “fix” people.  A leader works on bringing out and developing others strengths – putting them in a place in the organizations where those strengths are most valued.

Don’t try to be a counselor at work.  For the most part, you can’t change people (only they can).

Be a leader.  What strengths do each of your people have?
