What have they succeeded at?
It doesn’t matter what people have talked about doing; what matters is what they have successfully done. To find someone’s strength, look to his or her achievements. What tasks, events, programs, or opportunities have they excelled in? Success in a particular area indicates an individual’s strength. People do not excel in things they are bad at. This is especially important with new team members. Find out what they have done well in the past and develop those things for the future. As they continue on, make sure you get the stats and keep the stats so that you, as the leader, are aware of individuals’ best performances.
