As I work with organizations in building leaders, I find that they typically want to work on shoring up weaknesses. Although that approach seems normal to most folks, I've found it to be less than optimum.
An individual can work on limitations to reduce their negative impact, but small incremental improvements often require extensive time and energy. The return on the investment seems much less than putting energy against finding ways to capitalize on existing strengths. Take a look at this week’s article, “Build Leaders by Capitalizing on Their Strengths.”
