It’s human nature to want to fix your own flaws. But attempting to build on your weaknesses is not an efficient use of your time and energy.
Delegate and manage around the tasks that you struggle with and the activities that drain you, and spend as much time as you can doing the work you excel at.
By focusing on your strengths, you create a feedback loop. Playing to your strengths gives you energy and confidence, which will motivate you to work even harder in the future.
Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton is based on the findings of a Gallup study of more than 2 million employees. Included with this book is a code for an online strengths assessment that reveals your top 5 strengths. Strategies and insights are provided for getting the most out of each of your strengths, including advice on careers you are likely to excel at, suggested work habits, and advice on selecting ideal partners and teammates.
