We all have weaknesses.
Whatever our roles.
In management positions, one of the bigger challenges is to
recognise our own shortcomings and alter our own behaviours.
Sometimes that can be really challenging.
Often a hint is that there is areas of your work where you feel
like you really struggle, or are things you avoid.
Or are things
that you don't enojy doing. So you do other things that you do
like and leave gaps. Spaces in your attention that are
important, but get missed.
You are not alone, your gaps are natural, cause no-one is
perfect, not even those at the really top of their game.
You see, the really best executives realise that they aren't
completely rounded. The ones who have wonderful strategic
visions may not be the best with the purse strings. The ones who
have a really focused view of the operational standards of their
business, may well not see the possibilities.
The business world is littered with big-time bosses that missed
a trick or two. You may have worked with one or two!
The best ones realise that and take action. Even though it might
mean getting over that truly biggest hurdle for top bosses,
their ego, the best are able to get the point that they aren't
perfect and they need help, for the greater good.
So they surround themselves with otehrs who have the skills they
lack. A great visionary may have an expert with tight financing.
The detail guy may have someone who is a whiz at thinking off
the wall and with wow ideas.
It's a blend that the really best bosses understand and let go of.
They give up control in the areas whree they are not as strong.
If you have weaknesses, accept it - it's natural and where those
are, look for human being in your team who have those skills. Nurture
them and let them have a free rein to manage that part of your
business where you can't - not effectively anyway.
And get on doing your stuff really, really well, without the
worry about thsoe bits that you are less comfortable with.
