Manage the weakness
If a weakness is getting in your way, you don’t necessarily have to get better at it. You can leverage different strategies to manage it and make it a nonissue.
- Restructure your processes to work around the weakness.
- Set up a support system to help you manage it (e.g., my calendar reminders help me when I get so focused on a task that I might miss a meeting).
- Hire an assistant to handle that task.
- If you can, delegate your weakness to someone much better at doing that task.
- Partner with someone who complements you and balances your strengths and weaknesses.
