Michael Jordan, StrengthsFinder and team design

Michael Jordan was NOT GREAT at baseball. How about basketball - and what does this have to do with healthcare or business? Nothing... or everything. Yesterday, I took Gallup’s StrengthsFinder for the fifth time (over 10+ years) with some minor fluctuations. I have watched people review their top 5 strengths and then immediately go to the area(s) where they ranked lowest. Have you ever mentioned Michael Jordan and had the response be about baseball? Or, was the response about him being one of the GOATS in basketball? We all have specific strengths. Would you want a neurosurgeon operating on your heart? Would you even care about their capacity to do so, or would you just care about how they perform within their specialty, where they are GREAT? The same philosophy applies to individuals and teams. We all have a place. Focus on where you excel - that is your GIFT and your SUPERPOWER; hire to cover the weaker areas. This will elevate the overall performance of your business and teams and drive top-tier results, regardless of industry. Strategic | Learner | Ideation | Achiever | Belief
