The Five Things We Value Most (Podcast)
Today on the podcast, our President, Brian Schubring, and I are talking about our values here at Leadership Vision. Values help guide the actions and decisions of an organization. When you take time to name them and write them down, you help define your core beliefs and set a direction towards what is most important. It’s something that can help your team unite around ideals and deal with conflict more positively.
Knowing When to Lead and When to Follow (podcast)
Today on the show, we’re talking about leading and following. At Leadership Vision, we believe everyone is designed for influence. But we also believe that part of our influence comes in the process of being a good follower. One key to an effective team is when members know when it’s time to be the person in front, leading, and when it’s time to be the person following, supporting and encouraging others in the front.
Two Things I Learned About Change from our Last Team Engagement Session
At Leadership Vision, we approach the process of change by looking at it through the lens of Strengths. Knowing your Strengths doesn’t necessarily make the process of change any faster or easier, but most often, it does make it go a little smoother. This is because knowing Strengths asks everyone to examine their responses to change and understand the perspectives of others.
Recently Sara and I led a team engagement session on the topic of change. What follows are a few of my reflections from that session, as well as the two questions we ask everyone to answer before moving through change. Not only are there a few light-bulb moments but we share excellent reminders for all of us trying to influence positive change in our organizations.
Why and How You Need to Listen for Talents, Not Strengths (podcast)
Today on the podcast, we’re talking about the importance of listening for Talents as a way to better understand what is going on with a person’s Strengths profile. Talents, the building blocks of a Strength, are the recognizable patterns of thought, feeling, and emotion that point to an area of a person’s greatest potential. There’s something here for Strengths practitioners as well as individuals who want to take their Strengths knowledge to the next level, so LISTEN NOW!
What To Do With Your StrengthsFinder Results (Podcast)
Today on the podcast, we’re recounting our first experiences with Strengths and sharing three very simple activities to get more out of your results. While this podcast won’t answer all of your, “what do I do with my life?” type of questions, it will give you some very practical steps to engage with your five Themes of Strength in a meaningful way.
Comparing Competition
A common misconception about Strengths is that they show up in the same way for everyone. If two people share the Theme of Competition, you might assume they both love to win no matter what. But this is definitely not always the case! Leadership Vision has written in depth about how certain behaviors may point to a Strength, but we caution against broad statements that prescribe a Strength to always show up through certain behaviors. In today’s post, Steph recounts her interview with Logan and Brian, and compares and contrasts their Strength of Competition. See what you can learn!
Three Ways to Defend your Magic (podcast)
In this episode, Sara Schlipp-Riedel and I discuss the idea of “Defending One’s Magic.” If that sounds a little “fluffy” to you, the idea is simple. Defending your magic is being able to fall back on truths learned through your Strengths whenever you question who you know yourself to be. It’s the idea of self-discovery, self-empowerment, and self-awareness.
