Elevate Your Well-being: The Enlightened Approach of Input®

Exploring Knowledge, Shaping Insights

In today's fast-paced leadership landscape, the Input® CliftonStrengths® theme stands out for its profound appreciation for knowledge and ideas. Leaders blessed with this strength are natural collectors of information, always curious, and eager to learn more. They are the repositories of vast amounts of information, which they use to empower decision-making and innovation..

Aligned with the Intentional Well-Being Leadership (IWL) framework, Input® harmonizes with the element of holistic well-being. It emphasizes the importance of intellectual stimulation and continuous learning as crucial components of overall well-being.

However, the Input® strength can have its blind spots. The insatiable thirst for information can sometimes lead to information overload or analysis paralysis, where the accumulation of data hinders rather than helps the decision-making process.

Reflection Questions:

• How has your Input® strength helped you in gathering crucial information that guided your leadership decisions?

• Can you recall a time when an overemphasis on collecting information may have caused delays or hindered action?

Actionable Steps:

• Regularly review and organize the information you collect to ensure it remains relevant and actionable.

• Collaborate with team members who have decision-making strengths to balance your Input® approach, ensuring that your knowledge gathering translates into effective actions.
