A  “Strengths”  Assessment  You  Should  Know  About  Too  

Why  is  this  important?  It  is  important  because…    “To  the  degree  that  your  current  posiPon  calls  upon  your  top  5  signature  strengths  on  a  regular,  daily  basis,  to  that  degree  you  feel  fulfilled,  excited,  and  happy  about  the  job  you’re  doing.”

Survey of Strengths – Dr. Steve McSwain  

Here are my scores on the VIA Survey of Character Strengths. For how to interpret and use these scores, see the book Authentic Happiness. The ranking of the strengths reflects my overall ratings of myself on the 24 strengths in the survey and how much of each of the strengths I possess. My top five are the ones I pay attention to and find ways to use more often.

•  MY Top # 1 Strength - Humor and playfulness - I like to laugh and tease. Bringing smiles to other people is important to me. I try to see the light side of all situations. Which is why I’m a humorist.

•  My 2nd Strength - Hope, optimism, and future-mindedness - I expect the best in the future, and I work to achieve it. I believe that the future is something that I can control. I really can’t but believing I can works well for me.

•  Strength #3 - Curiosity and interest in the world - I am curious about everything. I am always asking questions, and I find all subjects and topics fascinating. I like exploration and discovery.

•  Strength #4 - Fairness, equity, and justice - Treating all people fairly is one of my abiding principles. I do not let my personal feelings bias my decisions about other people. I give everyone a chance.

•  Strength #5 - Appreciation of beauty and excellence - I notice and appreciate beauty, excellence, and/or skilled performance in all domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experience. This also explains why I married so beyond my deserving. HA HA

2.    Leadership  might  be  DEFINED  in  a  sentence                    but  it  is  only  ever  DEVELOPED  over  Pme.  

How  to  DEVELOP  as  a  Leader…  

1.  Read  

2.  Reflect  

3.  Replicate  Yourself  “INVEST  IN  YOUR  BEST  AND  YOUR  BEST  WILL  HELP  THE  REST”  –  John  Maxwell  

Page 7: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

3.    Leadership  is  never  determined  by  TITLES,                      POSITIONS  or  PROMOTIONS,    but  by                              followers.  (John  Maxwell)  

Page 8: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

“People  BUY  INTO  THE  LEADER  before  they  BELIEVE  in  his/her  vision.”                –  John  Maxwell  

3.    When  people  like  neither  the  vision  nor  the  leader,  they  get  rid  of  both.  

2.      When  people  like  the  vision  but  not  the  leader,  they  get  rid  of  the  leader.  

1.      When  people  like  the  leader  but  not  the  vision,  they  seek  another  vision.  

4.    When  people  like  both  the  leader  and  the  vision,  they  will  follow  anywhere.  

John  Maxwell’s  LAW  OF  THE  “BUY  IN”  

Page 9: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

4.    Insecure  leaders  may  DOMINATE                      but  secure  leaders  DELEGATE.  

“Great  things  will  happen,  but  only  if  you  do  not  care  who  gets  the  credit.”  

                                                                                   -­‐-­‐  Mark  Twain  

Page 10: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

1.    Choose  the  tasks  you’re  willing  or  should  delegate.    

2.    Select  the  right  person  to  whom  to  delegate.  

3.    Trust  those  to  whom  you  delegate.  

4.    Give  clear  assignments  and  instrucPons.  

5.    Set  a  definite  task  and  complePon  date.  

7.    Give  public  and  wriWen  credit.  

6.    Don’t  look  over  their  shoulder.

6.  Leaders  SHAKE  MANY  HANDS  and  MOVE  MANY  HEARTS.  So  said  J.  Maxwell  

Three  QuesPons…    1.  Do  you  care  about  me?    2.  Can  I  trust  you?  

3.  Can  you  help  me  fulfill  my  hopes  and  dreams?  

Page 13: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx
Page 14: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

6.  FOCUSED…VISIONARY  Leaders  realize  knowing    WHAT  NOT  TO  DO    is  as  Important  as  knowing  WHAT  TO  DO.    

“Anyone  can  STEER  A  SHIP;  it  takes  a  leader,  however,  

to  CHART  A  COURSE”  -­‐-­‐  John  Maxwell  

NEED  PROOF?    Then,  read  Isaac  Jacobson’s  NY  Times  Bestselling  Biography  of  STEVE  JOBS  –  Talk  about  FOCUS!!  

Page 15: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

8. Leaders  Know  GROUCHY  CUSTOMERS  make  GREAT  COACHES.  

That’s  my  take  on  Bill  Gates  comment…  “Your  most  unhappy  customers  are  your  greatest  source  of  learning.”  

 So,  what  has  your  last  grouch  taught  you?  

Page 16: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

9.       “I’ve  learned  that  people  will  forget  what  you  said,  people  will  forget  what  you  did,  but  people  will  never  forget  how  you  made  them  feel.”  

Maya  Angelou  (1928  –  2014)  LEADERS  make  the  team  feel  

Wanted,  Needed,  Appreciated,  and  Valued    

And  more  frequently  than  just  the  Holiday  Party  

Page 17: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

10.    Leaders  LEAD…  1)  In  Consciousness-­‐raising  –  self-­‐aware;  in  touch  with  Their  inner  life;  their  environment,  etc.  

2)  In  Showing  Compassion  –  toward  them  Selves,  their  families,  co-­‐workers…    

3)  In  Charitable  Giving  –  generous  In  the  life  they  live  &  legacy  they  leave.  

If  NOT  YOU,  WHO?  

If  NOT  NOW,  WHEN?  

Page 18: Entrepreneurs urgent call for 21st century leaders.pptx

FOR  REFLECTION…  1. Regarding  ENTREPRENEURIAL  LEADERSHIP  in  the  21st  century,  the  most  important  maWer  is  ___________.  

2.  To  me,  the  IDEAL  ENTREPRENEUR  is  _______________.  

3.  Going  forward,  I’ll  take  this  one  important  truth  and  apply  it  to  my  own  leadership  context  ______________.
