Minor strengths are just as important as the major strengths

Drill Sergeant Offringa, Blog day 4:

     This morning we learned about identifying the strengths that make us who we are, and how to use our very good strengths to help us build and bring out the strengths we’re not so strong in. We learned that the minor strengths are just as important as the major strengths because the minor strengths sometimes bring out our major strengths as well. They all counterbalance each other.

     Then we learned how using these strengths  can  aid us in bringing out strengths in our younger Soldiers by putting them in positions where they need to start leading (one of the key strengths). This will aid them in identifying their strengths, and maybe even weaknesses so they are able to start building on them to help develop while they’re still young in the Army.

    We broke down into groups and discussed the lesson for the day.  We also got a brief from SGM Johnson and Colonel Short. They briefed us on how we’re going to take what we’ve learned here at the course and apply it to the Soldiers when we get home. Another thing we discussed was how we’re going to brief our commanders on the importance of this course and how it will help Soldiers  develop into young leaders, and  help identify strengths and weaknesses they have.

Thank you for allowing me to share this information with you.
