John Carver Show - Play to YOUR STRENGTHS (Marcus Buckingham)

The purpose of my Radio Shows (Podcasts) are created to help YOU life a life you've always imagined and to share ideas that can change your life.

In this show I share a short talk by a man that reminded me to leverage my strengths.  Some of what Marcus Buckingham has said about maximizing your strenghts:“If your senses are numbed with delusion and denial, you will stop looking for these true strengths and wind up living a second-rate version of someone's life rather than a worldclass version of your own” “You cannot learn very much about excellence from studying failure.” 

“Define excellence vividly, quantitatively. Paint a picture for your most talented employees of what excellence looks like. Keep everyone pushing and pushing toward the right-hand edge of the bell curve.” 

“Spend the most time with your best people. ... Talent is the multiplier. THe more energy and attention you invest in it, the greater the yield. The time you spend with your best is, quite simply, your most productive time. ... Persistence directed primarily toward your non-talents is self-destructive. ... You will reprimand yourself, berate yourself, and put yourself through all manner of contortions in an attempt to achieve the impossible.”

Identify a person's strenths. Define outcomes that play to those strengths. Find a way to count, rate or rank those outcomes. And then let the person run.”
