We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and different ways of dealing with them. Some believe that our strengths should be mastered in order to compensate for our weaknesses. Others believe that our weaknesses should be targeted directly in order to balance out the two. In Dr. Shirzad Chamine’s methodology of Positive Intelligence, a person’s supposed weaknesses, also referred to as saboteurs are seen as strengths in overdrive. Saboteurs are the negative thoughts, habits, and patterns that are sabotaging your abilities to reach your full potential, but not to be discarded entirely. They are an opportunity for growth and learning about the inner workings of your own mind.
There are nine saboteurs that drive all people to varying degrees, and typically three that define the majority of the emotional processing of ourselves, others, and our environment. The Judge stands outside of that and affects us all the most, reinforcing the other nine saboteurs. Have a look through the slides below to familiarize yourself with the drivers behind each of the saboteurs.
Which top three of these saboteurs do you think are standing in your way?
