David Zinger is celebrating the first month of the strength-based leadership blog. There were 12 posts or articles in the first month.
This post invites you to engage in the 12 days of strength-based leadership. There is a specific leadership action attached to each post.
Choose one or two actions to begin. One of the principles of strength training is to gradually build up your strength – this will add muscle to your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual actions.
If you click on the post, it will take you to the complete article for each action.
To use a horse race analogy, you’re at the post:
Post 1: Commit yourself to strength-based self-management. Read the article by Peter Drucker on managing your own career and begin taking actions to strengthen your own career development.
Post 2: Discover your signature strengths. Log into www.authentichappiness.org and take the VIA signature strength test today. Go beyond listing your strengths to living your strengths.
Post 3: Take 30 minutes to plan on how to build your strengths the RONA way.
Post 4: Be a purrrfect leader. Love cats share their knowledge, network and compassion. Share your knowledge with your network and use compassion as a beacon to guide all your leadership actions.
Post 5: Tally your high quality interactions (HQI) today. To add energy to the organization double your high quality interactions tomorrow.
Post 6: Find an everyday leader to inspire your development of strength, caring, and energy management. Remember: leadership is a way of being.

LOVE this idea! I’m committing to doing more than 2, but I’ll start with the read a blog one since I’m already there! In addition, I’m going to delve more deeply into the Gallup information on strengthfinding – and I’m going to add your blog to my blogroll, too!
I’ll be in your fair city in the spring for regional Sweet Adeline competition! LOVE Winnipeg … and love your blogs! Thanks for finding me!
Twelve good ideas. I will use them to start the New Year. Thanks David
