Question: 
 
Why should I discover the strengths of the people I'm leading? 
 
Answer: 
 
It’s very important that you discover your natural, God-given 
leadership strengths. 
 
Let me give you an illustration. If I were to ask you to take your pen 
and put it in your dominant hand, and then I were to ask you to move 
it over to your other hand— go down to a blank piece of paper and 
write your first, middle, and last name— how difficult do you think that 
would be? Above that, how messy would it be? How long would it take 
you to accomplish that goal? 
 
But yet as leaders, many times what we see leaders do is to journey 
after those things that God didn’t give them, to become something 
that God didn’t created them to be.  
 
It’s like writing with their non-dominant hand every day. 
 
It’s only when you discover your natural God-given leadership style 
that you can write effortlessly, you can lead effortlessly, and empower 
others around you to lead from their strengths as well.
