#Beingaleader means you need to work with your weaknesses. Identify them. Use them. Grow them into something. Share your growth with others. We too often focus only on our strengths. We should not forget to work on our weaknesses so we accomplish even more than what we set out to do.
So, are you able to identify your weaknesses? What areas have you failed? Had a hard time? What situations seem so difficult for you that you avoid them like the plague? Oftentimes, we simply avoid these weaknesses because they look easy to others but difficult for you, so why even try?
So, why even try moving in your weaknesses? Why not just work on your strengths? Well, because we need to grow. We need to get stronger in every area. And because as a leader we are examples to others. Don’t like being friendly? Not any good at it? Ok, but can you still do it? Can you get better at it? Are you willing to even try?
The two best ways to grow stronger in our weaknesses are to teach them and read material from others with the same failures. Showing others how you can succeed even when you’re weak gives them courage that maybe they can too. Reading how others used their weaknesses to their advantage is another good way to grow stronger in yours. Maybe they point out a different perspective of how you can still win while struggling.
