This HAS to be the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my life journey, knowing myself. What I am good at, what I am NOT good at, my likes, dislikes, what I am passionate about, what I really have no interest creatively in. These are KEY in my leadership now because they bring so much focus. Great Post. Thanks for sharing it. M_ Awareness.

The team is better if I can constructively share my own shortcomings. And we all can share this as a tool for strategy while making us a better team. And not using any of these for personal accusations but for positive progress. We are not all great at everything. Its easy to see peoples strengths. It can be difficult to point out others weaknesses. You may find those weaknesses only after its damaged the project. So I like to be up front with them. I like to use myself as an example so others won't feel singled out allowing them to be able to help us identify their weaknesses. I like to focus on a problem as a problem not as a personal thing. I see weaknesses as just obstacles that we all need to overcome or work around. Too many times people take things too personally because they think that it will be held against them. But I see it as a big strength if everyone is up front. That to me is worth the reward. My strength is that I know my weaknesses. The team is better if I can constructively share my own shortcomings.
