Knowing Your Strengths is Important, But Why Should You Understand Your Weaknesses?

Check out this terrific blog post from one of my favorite bloggers, Michael Hyatt. Michael is the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishing, and his daily posts are just as anticipated as my morning coffee!

Self awareness is crucial, pertaining both to strengths and weaknesses. Leadership is all about influencing outcomes through others, and without knowledge of where we can contribute with greatest power and engagement, efficacy is stunted. Those who are aware of their areas of deficiency, and collaborate strategically with others in order to offload or mitigate their shortcomings not only achieve greater success, but share opportunities for others to contribute in their area of giftedness…..the ultimate win-win!!
