Positioning Our Strengths

Strength: Merriam-Webster, noun 4b: "a strong attribute or inherent asset."

The new jargon in leadership development dances with the idea the fine leaders nurture strength; it recognizes attributes (not deficiencies) and supports the qualities inherent in developing assets.

Leaders embrace difference; they embrace diversity; they embrace change. Leaders don't tear down to build new -- they asses existing assets, imagine possibilities, engage what is different just as brick is different than mortar.

As we go into this election for our next U.S. President, I hope to see the change where our leaders are inspiring the entire country rather than tearing at the fabric of the other side.
