| | | | About the Leader | | | Mike Allen | Co-founder, Axios | Individualization® | Relator® | Activator® | Positivity® | Self-Assurance® | | | | | | “CliftonStrengths has been in the DNA of Axios from the beginning.” | Individualization | | “We're very good at talking. We're not so good at listening.” | | | Allen believes that listening on an individualized level is a key skill every journalist — or anyone who wants to succeed — should develop. He lauds the ability to pay attention to people, to discover what can be learned from them and figure out, as he says, “what makes them tick.” | | | | Positivity | | “I'm definitely an optimist.” | | | As an entrepreneur, Allen approaches the world with a positive and hopeful disposition, but he also cautions journalists that they must portray reality with clinical precision and sanity, not rose-colored glasses. | | | | Self-Assurance | | “Of all the strengths, Self-Assurance is the most contagious.” | | | Allen believes that people want to be led, that they want someone to give them the confidence to take action or follow a certain path. He asserts that people will thank leaders who share their confidence with them. He considers confidence to be so powerful that it can offset any of a person's shortcomings. | | | | Relator | | “Little things matter.” | | | Allen uses what he calls the “10-year rule” to help guide his Relator. When deciding on a course of action, he asks himself, “What will I wish I had done in 10 years?” This allows him to make choices that are optimally meaningful — to himself and the people in his life — even when those choices seem minor at the time. | | | | Competition | | “Finish strong.” | | | When he's competing, Allen focuses not on how the competition begins but on how it ends. Anybody, he says, can boast, come up with a big idea or get off to an exciting start. However, what matters is following through and “getting the big things right.” | | | | | Hear more about how Mike Allen leads with strengths on Leading With Strengths wherever you listen to podcasts. | | | | | Explore More Leaders | | | | | | |
