“Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong. More often people know what they are not good at - and even then more people are wrong than right.” - Peter Drucker
I read this Drucker quote over twenty years ago and it stopped me dead in my tracks. Is this true? Could it be possible? Don’t I know myself better than anyone else?
The answer unfortunately is ‘no’. (just ask my husband)
The stories we tell ourselves, and what other people observe are often in opposition of each other.
You might like speaking in front of a group - but, it doesn’t mean you are effective at it.
You may not have an expert grasp on grammar - but you might be an extraordinary writer.
You might feel you are unorganized - but you are masterful at organizing thoughts and ideas, and the logical steps to bring them to life.
And, just because you are creative, doesn’t mean you are a good designer.
When we work with leadership teams we explore what you are good at (individually and as a group), and where there are holes. We organize efforts to leverage your strengths and shore-up your weaknesses.
