2 Session No R2.21 March 14, 2013 10:00 am to 10:50 am

We mostly think positively about ourselves,

viewing, working in, and promoting our strengths.

Leadership teachers rightly tell us to play to our strengths because

strengths involve our passions, what we do well.

But does anyone tell us to “focus” on our weaknesses?

When leading in challenging situations, we may identify symptoms of our

strengths/weaknesses based on our behaviors or results of our behaviors that

surface and reactions from others.

When we identify those things, we should

Capitalize on strengths

Recognize symptoms of weaknesses

Determine weaknesses

Make necessary changes in ourselves and what we do.

This session will delve into

Identifying strengths/weaknesses

Taking steps to improve further on what we do well

Making changes where necessary.

RECOGNIZING WEAKNESSES “How to Overcome a Weakness”, By C J Carter,

http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Overcome-a-Weakness&id=656256

In the opening of the article, C J Carter states:

“All people like to view themselves in a positive light. No one likes to be considered a failure or a lesser human being. But everyone has weaknesses. Most of the time

people tend to ignore their weakness and focus on showcasing their positive attributes.

There’s nothing wrong with showing your positive attributes but you can't ignore your weaknesses. When people ignore the things that they are bad at,

it tends to come back on them later in life. I agree. Do you?

RECOGNIZING WEAKNESSES “How to Overcome a Weakness”, By C J Carter,


Do we recognize our weaknesses Or

Can we be blind to certain weaknesses? HERE ARE CHOICES THAT WE MIGHT MAKE:

IGNORE IT We do not even consider how we are doing.

We just plow on through leaving a wake of damage. WRONG PERCEPTION We think we are doing right

We truly do not know HELPLESS We know we are weak in an area

We have not figured out how to change

ACTION We know we have weaknesses We take steps to improve ourselves. 14











RECOGNIZING WEAKNESSES

“How to Overcome a Weakness”, By C J Carter, http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Overcome-a-Weakness&id=656256

Can we self-diagnose the weaknesses in ourselves?

What is a better way to reveal a weakness and discover the full impact of that weakness:

an accountability partner –

Someone who knows us,

someone who we trust,

someone who is familiar with what we are doing,

someone who can critique us properly, and

someone who we can accept proper criticism from.

THE FATAL FLAW

THE FATAL FLAW Reference Blog Article Attached:

“The Fatal Flaw - The Most Essential Element for Bringing Characters to Life” By Dara Marks

http://www.writersstore.com/the-fatal-flaw-the-most-essential-element-for-bringing-characters-to-life

I remember “way back in high school literature” (and that is way back), we were taught about the “fatal flaw” in a character in a story.

As defined by Dara Marks in the attached article,

“The FATAL FLAW is a struggle within a character to maintain a survival system

long after it has outlived its usefulness.

What that makes me think is that we can operate with a weakness, not recognize it, and not do anything about it, then eventually we are not going to survive in what we are doing because the way we are doing it is deficient and that way will outlive its usefulness. Thus, the weakness becomes fatal to what we are doing.

If that is possible, then we must address our weaknesses, our weaknesses, not others weaknesses.

“Success in Life How to Overcome Your Weaknesses”

By Jason Osborn http://ezinearticles.com/?Success-in-Life---How-to-Overcome-Your-Weaknesses&id=575209

In your journey to success

you will encounter weaknesses in your life, if you don't deal with them, will hinder or stop you altogether from reaching success.

Having weaknesses isn't really the big deal because we all have them. if you don't overcome those weaknesses, that's where you are in trouble.

Here are 3 keys you can use to overcome your weaknesses. 1. Learn how to improve it. 2. Surround yourself with people's strength. 3. Learn from others.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT OR

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

March 12-14, 2013


29

IT’s YOUR CHOICE:

DISASTER MANAGEMENT …..... or …… CHANGE MANAGEMENT

IT IS going to be

ONE or THE OTHER .

.

Here’s the revelation that came out of the

Roundtable Discussion of

Harrisburg Biz Leaders, Friday, October 12, 2012

.

With the recognition that there is something amiss in what is

happening around you, and

if you have the authority to resolve it,

then you must accept the responsibility

to take action to get it resolved.

.

Sounds simple enough…..or is it?

.

Is there more there than meets “the eye“?

.

30

IT’s YOUR CHOICE:

CHANGE MANAGEMENT …....... or ………. DISASTER MANAGEMENT

IT IS

going to be

ONE or THE OTHER

.

4 characters you can choose for your response (or not) to issues that exist:

The Blind. Can you see the issue and do you know it’s a problem?

Surely others around you might see it.

The Deaf. Have others told you about something they think is a problem or

could be improved, and for various reasons, you do not act on or

respond to their input? Maybe you decided that the issue need not

be addressed. You may be right, or wrong. Are you confident with

your decision?

The Timid. Do you see the issue but are not addressing it?

Are you ignoring it? Others may be wishing you would address it.

The Responsible. Have you decided that the issue must be addressed, and you

are will to accept responsibility to take active and make plans

for changes. You might not know how to go about it. Even if you

do, a good policy would be to get another “set of eye” to help you

through the changes needed to resolve the issue. 31

IT’s YOUR CHOICE:

DISASTER MANAGEMENT …....... or ………. CHANGE MANAGEMENT

IT IS going to be

ONE or THE OTHER

So, of the 4 characters above,

The Blind, The Deaf, The Timid, or The Responsible,

“what are you good at doing”

when you sense something is wrong.

It might be a minor item or a major one. You sense something is not quite right

and you just have not put your finger on it. You either don’t take the time to

assess what’s happening or you know what’s happening and you just don’t want

to face it. Or, maybe you know what’s wrong and need some help to get it

resolved.

Pick one of the above characters, and determine to enter some form of

Change Management before you must enter Disaster Management. .

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

In the book “First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently”, Marcus Buckingham teaches that in leading other we should play to their strengths and not focus on their weaknesses. He makes a good case for that and I largely agree with him.

An important distinction is that Buckingham is telling us how to lead OTHERS. The focus is their strengths, not their weaknesses. Find out where people are strong and put them in situations that fit them in their strengths. Do not expect them to operate well in situations where they are weak.

The focus of this discussion is not how we lead others in THEIR strengths, and not how we lead in OUR strengths, but what do we do about OUR weaknesses. We have strengths…..and weaknesses. 43


ISN’T IT EASY for us to recognize what we think are weaknesses in others?

IS IT EASY to recognize our own weaknesses?

Maybe not.

We might not even recognize our weaknesses, and thus not do anything about fixing or making provisions to overcome them.

WHAT HAPPENS IF We do not recognize our own weaknesses and address them to make some changes in how we lead?

WHAT HAPPENS IS We affect others adversely. We affect our followers and those around us adversely because we are leading out of our strengths as well as out of our weaknesses.

44


I am not going to advocate that we must be able to identify and fix all our weaknesses. Maybe we can’t.

If we cannot identify and fix our weaknesses, we need to find someone to assess the symptoms that result from our weakness.

If we know where we are weak, we can delegate certain responsibilities if we are not suited to doing them.

This is a big topic that cannot be fully discussed in a brief presentation. Surely, there is “a book” to be written about this.

My purpose here is to point to some high points using two recent sessions conducted by Harrisburg Biz Leaders on this topic. 45

CONCEPTS DISCOVERED BY PARTICIPANTS OF HARRISBURG BIZ LEADERS

1. Awareness We can be aware of a weakness and thus act appropriately in a given situation to avoid adverse affects in a

situation. Thus, we control ourselves in a way so that our weakness is not controlling us. 2. Cause or Symptom Get to the root of the problem (the weakness) and do not focus on symptoms. A cracked wall could be caused

by a cracked foundation. Therefore, patching the crack does not fix the problem. 3. Check-Up As we do physically to get a medical check-up, we should also have a check-up on our leadership skills. Consider

your business to be like a human body. What is the brain (knowledge base)? What is the heart (people, passion)? What are the legs (foundation)? And so on. There is a study waiting to be done on this concept.

4. Criticism We must be able to take constructive criticism. Leave your ego at the door. Identify what the challenges are, aim at continual improvement, determine where you want to be.

5. Evaluation In working with weaknesses, we should be in a positive and safe environment. Example: Toastmasters knows how to excellently critique speakers showing what is being done well, and make suggestions for improvements. It’s a win-win critique.

6. Get Help Get someone stronger than you are. Personal and professional. 7. Identify Look at results and ask why they are happening. 8. Knowing Self Part of recognizing our weaknesses comes with “knowing ourselves”, knowing what we can and cannot do well. 9. Listen Listen to others and connect with them. 10. No Condemnation Don’t beat yourself up for a weakness. Recognize that we all have weaknesses and we all need to make

improvements. Seek advice and help when weaknesses are difficult to overcome (accountability partner, books, videos, other inspiration).

11. Passion If you are passionate about what you are doing, then we can be passionate about fixing our weaknesses. It’s connected to the accomplishment of your vision.

12. Perception Is perception is reality? How others perceive you might not be what you intend to project. Ask for feedback that helps you and others, and creates more trust.

13. Perseverance There will always be some obstacle on the way. That makes for a great journey, a great experience 14 Recognize We should maximize our strengths and identify areas for continual improvement. If we recognize and deal with

our 15. Reversal Turning the negative to the positive 16. Strength = Weakness Strengths and weaknesses are not mutually exclusive. A greatest strength could be our greatest weakness.

Example: We operate with energy and passion. There are times when active energy and passion is appropriate and there are times when inactivity and quietness appropriate. Choose wisely.

17. Teams Identify and document weaknesses of a team or system. 18. Vision Review your vision and ask how weaknesses get in the way of the accomplishment of your mission and vision.
