(I know that I have been really behind in getting up some notes from Catalyst. I have been really busy...last 2 weeks I have spoken 10+ times, lots of planning with the Middle School Ministry, and much more!)
Here are some notes from the session with Marcus Buckingham at Catalyst 2006:
- In all great teams they have:
- A GREAT Manager (How long you stay, how well you succeed, how well you do your job depends on your manager.)
- What is the job of the manager?
- To turn one person's talent into performance.
- The best managers are able to see the growth in a person and IT keeps you going!
- People are always a work in progress.
- One thing I know about GREAT Managers:
- They find out what is UNIQUE about each person and capitalize on it.
- This is a great challenge of managing people.
- 3 Myths that you have been taught and believe:
- As you grow, your personality changes
- TRUTH: As you grow, you become more and more of who you really are!
- You will grow the most in your area of weaknesses
- TRUTH: You will grow the most in your strengths, in that an area of your GREATEST strength!
- The team need the most of you is to chip in
- TRUTH: The team needs you to focus on your strengths and give it to the team. If each person does this you will have a well rounded team!
- "And the day came when the risk it took to remain in the bud, became greater than the day it took to blossom."
I have already acquired the first two listed. If anyone would like to get me the third, just let me know. Leave a comment!!! Have a great one!
