In his article, "Managing Oneself" in Harvard Business Review Online (Fall 2009; www.hbr.org), management guru Peter Drucker provides advice to leaders on improving their performance. One piece of advice he provided was to take advantage of your strengths. He suggests...
"To accurately identify your strengths, use feedback analysis. Every time you make a key decision, write down the outcome you expect. Several months later, compare the actual results with your expected results. Look for patterns in what you're seeing: What results are you skilled at generating? What abilities do you need to enhance in order to get the results you want? What unproductive habits are preventing you from creating the outcomes you desire? In identifying opportunities for improvement, don't waste time cultivating skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, concentrate on — and build on — your strengths."
