Make Your Strengths Last

Devevlop a method of continuing to identify, use and build on your strengths, or the effects will dissipate quickly.  Make it a daily routine to evaluate the three strengths you are using to change your job into a strengths-based experience and the three weaknesses you are trying to shut down.  Each week, identify two actions that will strengthen your strengths and weaken your weaknesses.  Close the books each quarter on what you have been working to accomplish, and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses for the next quarter.  Go through this process regularly to clarify and confirm your strengths.  You will be growing and your job is likely to change, so be sure of what you want to accomplish as you multiply your strengths.  Keep your long-range goals in focus and be prepared to be surprised!
