Using the Language of Strengths to Enhance Leadership Influence
How can understanding your own strengths transform your leadership style and create a thriving team environment? In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, we dive into the nuanced use of the language of Strengths to articulate the influence of leaders on their teams. Rather than allowing Strengths definitions to rigidly frame perceptions, we advocate understanding the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind leadership actions first.
We discuss three core themes—relationships, results, and responsibilities—and explore how leaders across various industries navigate these areas using their unique strengths. Detailed examples of different leadership styles, such as benevolent disruptors and steady Eddies, illustrate how Strengths can drive relationship-building, results achievement, and responsibility-taking.
