Why Leaders Have Great Success At Times & Struggle In Other Situations

When most organizations hire leaders and managers, I rarely hear people talk about matching that persons gifting with the current needs. We talk about prior success, but not the what caused that success.
People's giftings and strengths drive our tendencies, focus, and effort. Without truly understanding our giftings and tendencies, we will try to pull everything to our area of strength and avoid our area of weakness.
This is why being truly open and understanding our blind spots is key to success. Then we hire people who compliment us and we rely on their giftings in our areas of weakness.
This is how we build incredible organizations and departments. NEVER underestimate the power of someone's elite gifts to transform the results.
