How to Unlock Superpowers in Others | Empowering Superhero Powers with Juliane Mau

“The knowledge of your superhero power is not enough.”

Juliane has been working with leaders long enough to know the value of awareness of one’s talents is not enough. The value comes from using that talent at the right time and in the right way. But wait, there’s more: the value also comes in knowing when to stop and change directions.

It's a double lesson, a two for one, that Juliane shares with us today. And I am grateful for it.

In this episode, Juliane answers the following questions:

- How to help others apply their superhero powers?

- Why is knowledge alone of one’s superhero power not enough?

- What are the principles to follow when coaching someone else to use their superhero powers more effectively?

- How do HR Business Partners help grow the leaders they support?

To guide how to put those talents into play, Juliane recommends that it’s through the principles of perseverance, adaptability, discipline, and accountability that individuals are then able to amplify the effectiveness of using those extraordinary talents in order to have an even greater impact on others. 

In her work as a Human Resources Business Partner, Juliane works closely with leaders and their leadership teams on initiatives to get the highest productivity and performance out of their people as possible. 

To be successful in that role, you not only need to be able to identify the talents of each leader, you need to know how to help them show up and express their superhero powers in ways that positively impact the work, that enable increased performance from their people, and that create a more positive working environment. And this is what Juliane does well. 

Favorite quote from the episode: “Emotions are advisors you don’t have to take their advice.”

What I know to be true about the episode: The principles that Juliane laid out, perseverance, adaptability, discipline, and accountability, are a great foundation for anyone who is working on their craft and on their path of growth. Very applicable. 

What I learned from the episode: Juliane has invested the time and has the experience to back up her principles for enabling others; superhero powers. And I love that those same principles for the application are the same that she uses in the enablement of leaders…which does make sense since it’s her superhero power.
