marcus b. (5 myths) Posted by poolboyjames on August 20, 2009 at 5:06 PM comments (0)marcus buckingham is a best-selling author, motivational speaker, trainer, leader.. a guy who wears a number of different hats
he released a dvd with a booklet "the truth about you" i am going to share with u a snippet of it.. a piece titled "5 things that sound right, but aren't" 1. always treat people the way u want to be treated no.. people like to be treated the way THEY like to be treated for example: what men want is totally different from what women want, and vice versa 2. there is no "i" in team "the best teams have lots of "i's" in them, lots of individuals who know their strengths clearly, and volunteer those strengths to the team" in other words, think of like a basketball team, someone may be able to dunk and get rebounds like shaq, someone may be able to drive the lane like allen iverson, someone may be able to hit a 3.. every good team is made up of "i's".. guys who are very good at one thing.. exploit what u are good at and form your team around everyone's attributes making shaq shoot 3's would not be beneficial to the team 3. u should work on your weaknesses "no, weakness will drag you down. one should figure ways to manage around them.. they are areas of least opportunity or a person's kryptonite successful people find creative ways to neutralize them" 4.push youself beyond your comfort zone one should rather push theirself INTO their comfort zone (into their strengths) 5. your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness basically, everyone's strength is going to come out, whether productively or unproductively honing it productively takes out any negativity your particular strength could possibly manifest with that said, there is no positive or negative to a strength.. it is simply a "blind force waiting to be expressed" for example: say u are a very detail oriented person one might say you are crazy for color-coding your clothing however, this trait, properly expressed may afford one great opportunities in say -company inventory and business. "don't allow others to call your strength a weakness.. instead, name, own, channel, and hone your strengths so that you and the rest of the world may benefit from them"
