Most common question asked in business industry is that should you focus on education or shoring up a weakness? Or should you ignore weakness and work on strengths?
So what do you think when it comes to you? During our studies in schools, at colleges, our teachers usually focus towards correcting weakness. But gradually they can take advantage of our strengths and invest in them instead of correctness.
Let’s have looked in the past:
It is a common quotation that every business firm knows ‘every master was once a disaster’. Through a consistent commitment to education, one can improve their lives and live the dream. But with passage of time, we saw a trend focusing towards strength.
The management advice of modern world is to don’t change the person or team members. Don’t make them crazy by focusing on weakness but putting them on the right side of a bus.
It means that trying to make them proper in their weakness is just a lot of money. As it requires a lot of time and money but invests them in their strengths. It will provide you better outcome and development of their natural strength.
What do we mean by strengths?
Actually, when word come strength in their mind – it usually pops up signal activities that we perform well. But here we discuss the word strength in more comprehensive way:
- Strength is such activity; we want to do at every moment
- It produces better results among people as compare to average person
- In this way, people usually think towards goal instead of time and money
- It enhances motivation of person and feels good and positive towards job
- People usually want to do these kinds of opportunities again and again and continue towards improvement
This is the actual definition of strength when we identify this strength among people. The activities that people perform better and have skills to improve outcomes. They have motivation towards goal and neither fear of time and nor get exhausted.
Can we really put aside our weakness and work on strengths?
This is a reason in modern world trend is change and companies focus towards the strength of public. But it doesn’t mean we just forgot our weakness and never look towards them.
It is always important to develop a career consistent with our strengths. If your professional job requires you to do a variety of activities in which you have a weakness then you might fail. Therefore, it is important to identify skills and weakness and look for your interest.
You have to recognize how your strengths will fit with your study and job. It is difficult to find job position which is 100% of your interest. So it is better to get someone else who has strengths in that area, to perform an activity for an organization.
The company will either reduce frequency and duration of a person with other activities. At last, we just say one thing work on strengths or weakness is not an option. Thinking and working strategically is a key step for maximum effectiveness
