填空题 Knowing Your Strengths

填空题 and I who direct an executive's attention to the data on his or her strengths，

填空题 a typical response is，"Don't tell me to what I'm good at．Give me something to work on．/

填空题 It underlies the first rule：Get beyond the idea that praise is a tool to make

填空题 the people feel good or to fortify them against the negative feedback．

填空题 Second，don't assume for that standout strengths that are obvious to you are as obvious

填空题 to the individuals who possess of them．It is just as difficult for high achievers to see their

填空题 strengths and as it is for them to see their weaknesses．

填空题 Third．when offering up positive feed back，don't expect people will immediately take it in．

填空题 Just as individuals can have trouble in hearing criticisms，they can have a hard time

填空题 accepting praise．The executives we've worked with cite reasons when they reject praise：

填空题 they're concerned it will go to their heads；they fear it will burden them with other people's

填空题 expectations；and they therefore worry that receiving praise only raises the bar higher．
