It can start with a simple, well-considered note.
Leaders across the world instinctively know that playing to the strengths of each person on their team will accelerate both personal and organizational growth. But it’s easier said than done. Identifying strengths, our own or anyone else’s, can be tricky. At Disruption Advisors, the tech-enabled talent development company we co-founded, we’ve adopted a simple approach to identifying, then playing to strengths across teams. It’s the exercise of writing notes of appreciation.
The feedback to this activity has been positive. Many individuals have teared up, these notes bolstering them when the going gets rough. One person shared that the outpouring of appreciation was “one of the highlights of their year.”It’s common for people to not recognize their own strengths. Because our superpowers are reflexively easy for us, we’re often not only blind to them, we can undervalue them. We may even be dismissive of them because we do them effortlessly.
If you think this sounds silly, you’re not alone. Our human tendency is to think of critics as more discerning, more discriminating, and those who offer praise are less sophisticated.
