“Look in the Mirror” was one of the mantras used at a previous organization.
How am I showing up? How do I improve my self-awareness? And what is my superpower (strength)? There are many tools to assist you on your life and leadership journey. I recently added StrengthsFinder to my toolbox with the thought of personally applying the lessons to myself and helping others learn. This HBR article by Whitney Johnson has three great questions that are worth calling out:
- What exasperates you?
- What compliments do you dismiss?
- What do you think about when you have nothing to think about?
I have used these questions in exploring my own strengths (Individualization, Learner, Achiever, Arranger, and Analytical). The article elaborates on the questions and how to use them.
Happy mirror-gazing!
