Your strengths make you successful, so most of your development should be focused on making your strengths even stronger. However, many people take the opposite approach, and focus too much of their development on their weaknesses.
Basically, there are two types of weaknesses: 1) Those weaknesses that impact you using your strengths better, and 2) Those weaknesses that have no impact on you using your strengths.
For number 2, the focus should be on surrounding yourself with people who have strengths on those weaknesses.
For number 1, it’s all about picking that ONE most important weakness that impacts you using your strengths and giving your development focus to that one weakness.
If you consider the 80/20 rule…you grow faster when you devote 80% of your development to growing your strengths, and 20% to working on that ONE most important weakness.
