I'm ready to lead the team down the field, so to speak. Encouraging us to play to our strengths is a smart proposition. But what if you don't know your strengths? Have you gone through any exercises/read any great books on how to identify your strengths? I've done a lot in the past year to explore what my strengths might be, but you always seem to have some pearls of wisdom to bring some tool or process into the fray. Any tips? Happy 2010!
