- What you’re good at
- Your unique skills and abilities
- Qualities that make you more impactful
- How and where you add the most value
- What brings you joy
Ideally our position at work provides us with opportunities to leverage our special skills and abilities allowing us to add the most value, to find our work fulfilling, and best yet, feel inspired and invigorated!
We generally know what we don’t enjoy doing and we know the areas where we do not excel (or that require extra time and effort). What we may be unclear about is knowing the tasks or roles that creates joy or provides us with a sense of accomplishment and in general feeling good.
Can you define what a good workday means to you? Does it include:
- Building and maintaining healthy business relationships?
- Developing others?
- Reviewing goal progress?
- Rewarding and recognizing achievements?
- Continual learning opportunities (for yourself and others)?
These are all part of being a leader. Leadership can be formal (ex. direct reports, matrix management, project manager, mentorships, etc), or it could be informal, where your skills lend themselves to you taking “charge”. This could be due to your ability to build relationships, achieve common goals and objectives, your technical savvy, or simply that you are respected, appreciated, and looked up to.
What leadership qualities do you bring to your team or organization? Are you able to integrate your gifts/strengths both in your career and in your personal life? It’s great when your ambition and talents serve you rather than enslave you!
This may sound funny, but we have worked with leaders that excel at what they do, are acknowledged and rewarded for their accomplishments, but they quite simply don’t LIKE what they’re doing.
Hopefully that does not apply to you! Knowing and using your gifts and skills will energize you and increase your level of fulfillment and sharing them with others will add to your sense of purpose.
How do you leverage your special skills?
Sincerely,
Mike and Jan
