The One Thing: Why try harder?

Marcus Buckinghm wrote an insightful book: The One Thing You Need to Know: … About Great Managing, Great Leading, and Sustained Individual Success.

I liked the book but was surprised that it took over 280 pages to state the one thing.

Many blog readers are not willing to take that much time to read (unlike Avis, why try harder when you are working with number 1).

Here is a short list of of questions to get you thinking about the “1 thing” in strength based leadership.

The 1 Thing:

1. What is the 1 thing you would say is your greatest strength?

1. What is the 1 thing you value the most?

1. What is the 1 thing you most need to do for someone you lead?

1. What is the 1 thing that energizes you the most?

1. What is the 1 thing you would like others to say about your style of leadership?

1. What is the 1 thing you need to focus on to get results?

1. What is the 1 thing you need to do right now?

Do it!
