Quote: "We all have strengths and weaknesses. The best advice is to embrace, focus on, and nurture our strengths" - Dr. Charles Glassman Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. God created humans in such a way that each one has a unique DNA. We see God's greatness when it comes to identical twins who share 100% of their genes. They are typically of the same gender and very difficult to tell them apart. Fraternal twins on the other hand, share 50% of their genes and can be a mix of genders and look more like siblings. Yet each twin (identical or fraternal) have unique strengths in how they are wired for life. This is just many of the reasons why God is God! None like Him or ever will be! He is God all by Himself! Dr. Don Clifton is the founder of strengths-based psychology and the grandfather of what is known as positive psychology. Clifton was counter-culture as he saw beyond the traditional field of psychology that focused on interventions as a way of helping people. Clifton saw a way of building up people through enabling conditions of life. This launched the strengths based science that sought to connect the naturally recurring patterns of people's thoughts, feelings or behaviors. He noted that these were "strengths" that made each person unique. These "strengths" when known and applied empowers people to thrive in all areas and contexts of life.
