Management consultant and educator Peter Drucker once said, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” When it comes to our career, we may not always be able to create an ideal future, but we do have the power to steer it in a preferred direction. One way to plan your career path is to identify and amplify your capabilities.
In Multipliers (best selling book and this month’s EOD Course of the Month), leadership expert Liz Wiseman encourages us to find our genius. Genius isn’t about your IQ number. It is our unique abilities, the thing we not only do exceptionally well, but naturally well, freely and with ease. When we start identifying our natural genius and the genius in others, we begin to be able to do great things.
Amplifying our abilities takes effort. When we are doing our best work, that effort can be a rewarding type of exhaustion. When we can’t give our best and we are being drained of our energy, we begin to lose our ability to accomplish what we need to, and our level of satisfaction is reduced.
Join EOD this month as we learn how to manage our energy so we can do our job well at our Hungry Minds Café on July 18, and then take a deep dive into what characteristics diminish and multiply our abilities through our EOD Course of the Month on July 26.
