Find Your Strength Zone
I’m going to share with you a success strategy that can do more to help your career than just about anything else. And most people are doing the exact opposite.
What most people do is identify their weaknesses and then put a great deal of work into improving themselves in those areas. But as John C. Maxwell points out in his book Talent Is Never Enough, you will have a much better chance of rapidly advancing in business if you focus on your strengths.
