How much time should you spend on your weaknesses? The conventional wisdom is quite a bit. I completely disagree.
John Maxwell once taught me a key leadership lesson. He would say and I’m paraphrasing, “If on a scale from 1-10 you are a 2 in a certain area, and you work really, really hard, you may improve to a 4. You are still bad and not helping anyone. But if you are an 8 and improve to a 9, you have helped yourself and your organization immensely.”
I was reminded of John’s teachings when I looked at my Top 10 Most Read Leadership Posts from October 2015. The three types of posts which receive the most traffic on this site are the following:
- Leadership lessons from movies.
- Resources for pastors and church leaders.
- My Top 10 Leadership Posts from the previous week.
Interestingly, each of October’s top posts fit one of those categories.
It is fine to work on your weaknesses. But successful leaders know if you spend the majority of your time working from and on your strengths, you position yourself to have a much more successful website, career and/or life.
