Add You - Everything Your Parents Did Not Tell You About Strengths and Weaknesses
If you are looking for a way to develop team team work skills, there are a couple of ideas that have been proven successful time and time again. It is up to you to decide what kind of team work project you need to incorporate, and how much time, effort, and money you are willing to put into the project. Building team work capacity is one sure fire way to get better production for your employees. If you can build team work and happiness in your employees, they will in

Every time I write an article or do a piece on buying businesses someone will always ask me if it's possible for them, even with rotten credit and a string of bankruptcies on their record. When I tell them it's totally possible they just don't believe me.Realize this: I've been doing this for over 50 years and I don’t remember anyone in the last 30 or 40 years who used investor financing where -- even if they had filed bankruptcy -- anyone checked on them. N
I have several people who have a much easier time with making a list of their weaknesses than to talk about some of their strengths. When asked to share their strengths they go silent and have to ask people around them for help. Of course I have also encountered the opposite type, the one who immidiately lists three to four strengths, but is totally unable to even think of one weakness.
A word I tend to implement when dialoging with people to use instead of weakness is the words “area of improvement”. For if we find that there is something that we are not so good at, then it is also reasonable to think that that is an area of my personality where I have the biggest potential for growth and improvement.
Another interesting perspective on strengths and weaknesses is found in a tool called SDI®, which is an inventory of our strengths in relation to other people. The inventory was developed by Elias Porter and you can read more about it at www.personalstrengths.com, the website of Personal Strengths Publishing. Porter labels weaknesses as overdone strengths. This is a very interesting way to look at it.

I was at a training event recently and during the opening 'set the scene' intro the senior director in the company asked the group to list all the things that were stopping them providing a good service to their customers.The team took great pleasure in listing all the concerns: Morale, time, work pressures, customer issues, the products etc etc.The director gleefully added each and every comment to the flip chart and when no more issues were given he l

Feedback is important in every sphere of life but more so in business simply because it tells how we're going and how we can improve.If we continue to improve, we'll continue to grow.The benefits of feedback are obvious:1. Consolidates the relationship 2. Lets you know where you're falling down 3. Opens up communication 4. Can be the catalyst to valuable testimonialsBut Many Businesses Still Don't Do

The best way to reach to a large number of customers is through good trade show exhibitions. For this you need to have attractive trade show displays that can vividly describe your products or services. To learn more about different kind of displays and their features, you should research various trade show display companies on Internet or through the yellow pages.To get the best service provided by these companies, you must have basic knowledge of different t
Say for example that you consider yourself to be not so good at putting forth your opinion in group discussions. Most of the time you sit quiet, observing what the others are saying. One might then say that you are “weak” in the area of expressing your personal opinions to the group. If we use the perspective of Elias Porter, we would exchange that and say that you instead are overdoing your strength, in this case listening. You listen so intensely and so much to the others that you forget about yourself. Instead of thinking that you must find some way to strengthen yourself so you dare and can speak more often in the group, you should instead do less, less of your strength, i.e listening.
This might sound like a small difference, but the change of perspective has meant so much to many people I have encountered.
I once met a man who was considered a steamroller by his co-workers. They felt he just ran them right over with his opinions and views of things. The conflict filled atmoshere changed drastically when they were instead able to appreciate his powerful strength in being a driving force in the group. What would a group without someone to drive it forward be? A stand still sportscar with phenomenal rescources but with out the ability to move the accelerator towards the floor. The person we are talking about here felt seen and appreciated when the group changed their view of his behavior and he felt he did not have to try
