Why Strength Can Become a Blind Spot
Strengths are generally celebrated. And they should be.
But every strength has the potential to be overused. The strength did not become inherently bad; it became overextended.
How strengths overextend
A decisive person becomes impatient. A detail-oriented person misses the big picture. An independent person struggles to ask for help.
Requires self-awareness
Mature use of a strength means knowing when to use it, how much is enough, and when another strength needs to complement it.
Complementary strengths
Effective teams benefit from complementary capabilities. A detail-oriented person and a big-picture thinker may frustrate each other initially, but together they create something stronger.
