Key Points
- Many people frame career choices only as, “Should I take this offer or not?” or, “Should I quit this job and go and get another?”
- Skills are not necessarily strengths. People who are successful and happier are spending more time in their strengths.
- The CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) assessment is a useful tool for getting clarity.
- Change to a role/company that allows you spend more time in your strengths or decide to design your career from the inside.
- Stop pursuing marginal improvements of your weaknesses.
