Learn to Maximise Your Strengths

Do you truly Maximise Your Strengths? What would you do if you had a major life-changing experience that leaves you unable to do what you used to do? Take a cue from W Mitchell (who was part of Leaderonomics' BounceBack Summit) and who said that when there are things you can’t do anymore in life, choose to focus on things you can do. In other words, focus on the strengths that you have rather than dwelling on things you don’t have.

Step back today and reflect on your strengths and improve on them.

“It’s not what happens to you. It’s what you do about it.” – W Mitchell

40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s

In this leadership analysis, Roshan Thiran reviews Daniel Pink's viral video, "40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s," and reframes its core lessons as a practical guide for today's leaders. Moving beyond simple life advice, he identifies three primary themes essential for building effective and compassionate teams: - The People Principle: Why culture, based on the "No Jerks" rule and the "Love Wins" philosophy, is a leader's primary responsibility. - The Action Principle: How a bias for "doing," persistence, and consistency—a "Gospel of Doing"—ultimately beats strategy and planning. - The Humility Principle: Why the combination of humility and curiosity is the engine for all personal and professional growth. This article simplifies 40 powerful concepts into an actionable framework for anyone looking to build better teams and become a better leader.
