- Where I come alive is in the human glue

- I’m at my best when I’m getting a room aligned and fired up
- I keep catching myself making calls based on how they’ll make me look rather than what’s actually best for the thing I’m building
- I keep forcing myself to lead the way I think a leader is supposed to, even when it cuts against my grain, and I can’t actually name what I’m naturally good at

- Strengths-Based Leadership, Made Practical
Strengths-based leadership, developed by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie building on Gallup’s decades of manager research, holds that the most effective leaders invest in their own strengths and build teams whose combined strengths cover all four leadership domains — executing, influencing, relationship building, and strategic thinking. Gallup’s correlational research consistently finds that strength-focused teams report higher engagement and performance, though the causal direction is not fully established. - Lead from the relationship building domain — hold the team together
