Author and keynote speaker Rocky Romanella, principal of 3SIXTY Management Services LLC, was featured in a Forbes interview with Alastair Dryburgh. In that interview he stressed that we must avoid the trap of turning strength into weakness.
In the interview, Romanella stated, "For me, one of the keys to growth is not allowing your strengths to become your weaknesses. It’s important to use these strengths as appropriate, but not rely on them to the point of complacency. Sometimes when you overplay that hand, what ends up happening is that you stop at the first right answer. You must challenge yourself and your people to not stop at the first right answer even though it may be a right answer and, in your strength, and comfort zone. You must push through that first right answer to get breakthrough thinking.
"One of the things that happens when we do that, which I think is the transformative piece, is that you start to see yourself as a solutions provider not an order taker. When you're a solutions provider you address your customers differently."
Rocky will also be a contributor for New Theory Magazine. New Theory Magazine is an online platform for forward thinkers. It provides readers with exclusive access into the minds of thought leaders covering inspirational content such as business, health, fitness, hot topics and much more.
As a contributor, Rocky's goal is to challenge readers to think of their businesses and their relationships with key constituents in new ways. This approach has helped him shape simple yet thought-provoking lessons into tangible results. He constantly challenges himself and others to not stop at the first right answer, to look past that first “right answer” in the management of day-to-day operations.
In Romanella's business leadership book, 'Tighten the Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership', he uses his Executive Business Leadership experiences to explore the ways a true leader can add value as a trusted advisor, mentor, and visionary who uses a process approach to lead the organization and its people to new levels of success.
In an engaging, personal, and witty style, Romanella details his Balanced Leadership approach, which details how to give your three major constituents equal priority in your decision-making process through actively listening to their needs and building strong relationships. By following the steps Romanella lays out, readers can truly learn the importance of Balanced Leadership.
