As a founder, there’s always too much you can do, but often far less you should do. Understanding where your unique strengths bring the most value to your company helps you stay focused and remain energized.
Here’s 3 tips how
Identify your strengths
- Self-reflection: Recall past successes and moments when you were “in the flow.” Which tasks energized you and made the biggest impact?
- Feedback from others: Ask co-founders, colleagues, or friends for their perspective. They might spot strengths you’ve missed.
- Use assessments: Tools like StrengthsFinder or similar indicators can help you uncover your natural talents.
Align your strengths with company needs
- Prioritize focus: Identify your company’s critical priorities and what’s needed to drive progress.
- Leverage your strengths: Pinpoint where your abilities can tackle the company’s biggest challenges.
- Collaborate effectively: Consider how your strengths complement those of your co-founders or team members.
Build toward your sweet spot
- Delegate smartly: Focus on where you add the most value, and delegate tasks that don’t align with your strengths. Empower others to take ownership.
- Foster team alignment: Create a team dynamic where everyone’s strengths work together to achieve shared goals.
- Commit to growth: As your company evolves, reassess your role. Adapt to stay in your zone of greatest impact while continuously developing your skills.
