title: On leadership. Signature strenghths: achieving your destiny.
abstract: All of us have signature strengths that make us unique and valuable. There are talents we were born with and the ones we have perfected over the years. If these are utilized well it will allow us to live out our inborn destiny. The good news about nursing is that there are many very different kinds of positions where one can find a niche that fits her signature strengths. Without a match, we will live our lives as a sundial in the shade. Where there is a match, we will live as we were born to live, as sundials in the sun, creating value for those around us. Our task is to find that sunlight for ourselves and our staff and to position all of us to work in the light of our signature strengths.
