Strength Vs. Weakness Debate

In the field of personal development, organization consultation. There is a debate that exists.

The debate is after I gain awareness of my strengths vs my weaknesses which one do I focus on?

The argument that you are held back by your weaknesses is a valid one, however think for a minute. If you were to take your weaknesses and spend a large amount of your time energy and resources on them. . .

Could you ever become great in your weaknesses?

Would you ever desire to stay with them for long enough to become great?

How long would it be, before your strengths became weaker because of the amount of time outside of them?

No one will drive from miles around to watch someone who has taken a weakness and raised it to mediocrity.

This is why you have teams in Corporate America. If you are aware of your weaknesses you surround yourself with people who do that area better in that area then you are. For early leaders this is a difficult thing because it pulls on insecurity, for established leaders it is about change.

When strengths are where the majority of the focus comes then the results of greatness can be attained. It is when you hear the phrase "play to your strength".

If it is necessary to go towards the weakness get a third party involve and brainstorm how you can use your strengths to lift your weaknesses.

If you are unaware of what you are good at that you could be great at. If awareness is your weakness, GET HELP FAST!!!
