What are they passionate about?

The areas people are most passionate about usually involve their strengths. Simply listening to the ideas that ignite their excitement will give you clues to their unique gifts. Find out what they read about, think about, and ask questions about. These insights will help you know their true passions. When you find someone’s passion, you will find what they will be most productive in. The goal is to connect their passions with their job responsibilities. The larger the gap is between someone’s passion and their work, the less productive they will be. Leonardo da Vinci said, “Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.” The less of a gap there is between someone’s passion and their job, the easier it is to activate them. Bridging an individual’s passion to their job self-motivates them to be internally invested in their work.
