Dangers Of Focusing Only On Your Strengths
Admit to yourself that you have weaknesses and if they hold you back, go and fix them. Don’t try to turn them into strengths, but get the basic competence, so the weakness doesn’t drag you down.

Don’t get caught in some of the most frequent pitfalls like doing things the way you have always done, not listening, trying to take action too quickly without understanding the environment, learning the wrong things, setting unrealistic expectations, or trying to do too many things in parallel. A thoughtful, well-planned approach will pay dividends.
For better self-control remove temptations from your environment, routinize your life with the right default options, set the right goals and remove as much short-term decision-making as possible, remove options and possibilities to deviate from the desired course of action, and remind yourself what someone like you does or doesn’t do.
When leading with compassion, you do what is right regardless of what people may think of you. You stand up for the truth rather than trying to please everyone. You are compassionate and kind, yet you maintain high expectations. You support others rather than punish them. You do what is necessary rather than what is easy.
