You are more likely to create excellence by helping people
understand and focus on their talents rather than emphasize
and focus on people’s weaknesses
Strength vs. Weakness
People are defined by their strengths, not their weaknesses
If you need a hard to develop talent (strength) in a position or role then hire/select for it first
If you have a weakness, develop a strategy to reduce or eliminate the negative impact
