Now that we have reviewed the benefits of focusing on your strengths, as much if not more than areas with room for growth, consider what you would want to have in your leadership toolbox. What strengths have you identified that are your primary tools as a leader? What strength would be the first tool you might take out of your toolbox if you needed to help organize a skilled team?

Paragraph 3: Discuss which choice you would make if you were asked to be the leader of a team that had never worked together before. Provide an explanation of why you would or would not choose something different from your toolbox for this group.
