'자산기반 지역사회개발'에서는 역량(capacity)이라고 표현합니다.
그 요소로서 재능(gift), 기술(skill), 열정(passsion)을 이야기합니다.
(strength라는 표현도 있지만...)
Asset-based community driven efforts recognize:
Everyone has a gift (they are born with), a skill (they have learned and practiced, and could potentially share/teach), and a passion (that they act on) that they can contribute to the wellbeing of their community.

1. Capacity Orientation- 3 Capacities Everyone has: Gifts, Skills, Passions
We all have Gifts of the head, heart and hands, that we are born with, we do not have to earn, learn or have them given to us. They are our birthright. They are capacities that come naturally to us. When we engage in activities that exhibit our gift, for music for example, it feels relative effortless, like we’re in flow. Gifts are amplified and multiplied when individuals form effective associations. No matter how gifted you are at singing, you will never form a choir on your own.
Skills are capacities we practice and refine over time and with experience. While our gifts come naturally, that does not mean we are skilled in them. I might have a gift for running, but through, practice and coaching, I can become more skilled. In the same way, just because I have a skill does not mean I am gifted at it. Most adults are reasonably skilled drivers, but not everyone can drive like a Formula One driver (most of whom are gifted drivers).
Passions are what we care deeply about and that we care about enough to act on. Plenty of people care about living in a clean neighborhood, but not all will join in on a community clean-up.
We may not consider ourselves to be either gifted or skilled around many of the things we feel passionately about, but nevertheless we are prepared to show up and commit to making a contribution. The other feature of a passion is that it is not done out of a sense of duty, we are drawn towards the activity for which we have a passion and we are energized by it.

첫댓글 강점은 무엇을 이루는 데 이롭거나 쓸모 있는 것입니다.
이루려는 것을 전제하지 않고서는 이야기할 수 없습니다.
이와 달리
역량은 이루려는 것을 정하지 않고도 이야기할 수 있습니다. 장점에 가까워 보입니다.
이런 역량을 살려 무엇을 이루려 하기 때문에 역량이 결국 강점이 되는 셈이기는 합니다.
이루려는 것을 정하기 전이라면, 예비강점이나 잠재강점이라고 함이 적확하지 않을까 싶습니다.
