Know
strengths and weaknesses of each of your team members, including your
own. This is the best way to delegate to the ones you know can best
handle each separate task with the uppermost result. Try to steer
them away from dwelling on their weaknesses, but improving upon their
natural talents. You and your company may even pay for classes to
enhance such skills among employees. It is unlimited, sometimes, what
people can do when they are encouraged to follow their bliss.
It is a
little like teaching a left-handed person to write with his right
hand when you force someone to learn to do something they really
aren't good at and really don't want to do. Make an effort to
concentrate on strengths instead of weaknesses and you will be
surprised at the results.You may
even get some unintended consequences – but in this case, they
often turn out to be good surprise consequences.
“The
chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is
likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to
them.”
John Adair
