Your Superpowers: Unleashing Strengths for Personal Growth and Team Innovation

Each of us possesses a unique combination of strengths that virtually no one else has.

Consider how contact lenses help us see the world more clearly. Our combination of talent strengths is like those lenses altering how we see the world around us. These talents tend to come so naturally that we don’t think about it; they are automatic. At our best, we are energized and fulfilled. At our worst, we are depleted and de-energized.

But it’s not enough to know our strengths. We must value our contributions and what others can count on us for. It’s important to understand what conditions, through relationships and tasks, our strengths need to thrive. As leaders, we must also be aware of the strengths of those we lead and collaborate with. Rooted in positive psychology and neuroscience, this knowledge helps us to bring out the best in ourselves and others, maximize productivity and innovation, and foster well-being.
