013: Can You Rely Too Much on Your Strengths?
When we excel at something, we tend to consider it a strength and strive to do it as much as possible - both at work and personally.
However, sometimes we tend to rely too much on our perceived greatest strength - and we see this a lot in the workplace. This can hinder our progress instead of propelling us forward.
There are other schools of thought that suggest that individuals should focus on their strengths and build upon them. That focusing on weaknesses can dissolve ones drive and create negativity.
So which is it? Could considering your weaknesses be negative? Could leaning into your strengths be too much of a good thing?
Tune in to this discussion to learn more about the best approach for greatest success, how the Enneagram factors into this, and consider which of your skills you may rely on too much (and what aspects of yourself you can grow and develop WHILE utilizing those strengths).
