Should You Focus On Your Strengths And Ignore Your Weaknesses?
Recently there’s been quite a bit of talk around ignoring weaknesses and focusing on strengths. I’m all for focusing on strengths but I have to disagree with the idea of ignoring weaknesses. This is definitely not the best advice and could actually cause problems. We should all be aware of what our weaknesses are so that we can properly hedge against them. This might mean hiring or working with people who are good at the areas you aren’t or perhaps simply not trying to take on projects or tasks that cater towards those weaknesses. This isn’t the same thing as simply ignoring them and pretending they don’t exist. Be aware of them, embrace and acknowledge them, but hedge against them while continuing to focus on your strengths.
