These are the two assumptions that guide the world’s best managers:

1. Each person’s talents are enduring and unique
2. Each person’s greatest room for growth is in the areas of his or her greatest strength.

These two assumptions are the foundation for everything they do with and for their people.

These two assumptions explain why great managers are careful to look for talent in every role, why they focus people’s performances on outcomes rather than forcing them into a stylistic mold.
