Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Where I come alive is in the human glue
- 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
- I’ve quietly filed each person on my team as strong or weak, and then I’m baffled when my "strong" one flounders on something new
- I’m at my best when I’m getting a room aligned and fired up
- If you asked me to name what I’m actually good at, I’d freeze
