I’m just now including under the section labeled “Magic”, my recent basic list of 133 topics, ideas, games, Executive Vignettes, video clips, etc. [click here]. For years I used this as starting point when generating the initial architecture of a Leadership Learning Forum. It’s not been updated in some years, but I will eventually make it so. I will start now to include a brief explanation of use, or potential place in a Forum Process of each. Like the numerous “posters” available on this site, these can be adapted or expanded to customize for a particular set of Forum participants, and actually reformatted into a different delivery media, i.e., from a list, to a game, to a breakout discussion, to an assigned presentation, etc.

This poster reflects a major focus of the 7th phase of my career…..a basic part of my current long range plan which covers the next 15 years of my expected life. As such it manifests the ongoing evolution of this website, which is now c. 17 years old. It started, and mostly has been archival, or historical, but lately has been shifted more to sharing & anticipating future uses, or needs, of the Leadership Learning Forum Process, including perspectives and wisdom from others, who’ve also been deeply positively impacted, by their experience in that process.
Likely, similar to much of the basic LLF process, this will be a divergent focus for me… i.e., a part of all the remaining years of my like.

The StrengthFinder profiling process is superb, one of the top two, in my opinion, of a dozen or so in wide use in corporate America. It focuses on 34 themes or talents, that are present, in various degrees in all of us, especially on your top set, usually five. We tend to use those, are most comfortable there…and are likely most personally successful, doing so. My top 6 are the same, both times I’ve done their full assessment. I’ve spent some time examining the remaining 28, picking 11 that I want engaged in my leadership process…..some listed lower, i.e., lessening my tendency to use them, and also raising some others’ ranking, in my perception, i.e., to more often be exhibited in my actions! Thus having settled on 17, one half of their set, I’ve now gone back to more fully understand my top 6, how they interact, and can be connected to the other 11 traits I’ve chosen to use to guide my thoughts/words/actions, and hopefully, results!
I’d be happy to share a learning dialogue with anyone else using Strengthfinder for their own growth and development
