I’m [Brian Carter] a big fan of the “Now Discover Your Strengths” series of books, including “StrengthsFinder 2.0”, and “First Break All the Rules”.

If you’re not familiar with these books, the big idea is:

It makes more sense to do what you’re really good at, what you’ve always been a natural at, than it does to try to perfect your weaknesses.

This goes contrary to common business organizational practices. And that may be one reason why so many businesses are mediocre.

Super write-up and so appreciated. Perfect timing, too. I've been reworking "offerings" to focus on strengths while looking for the right "fit" of people who excel at my weaknesses. The post demonstrates the power of collaboration. Maybe this is why opposites attract?


Brian does a great job. EXCELLENT read and worth the introspection to consider:

5.    Arranger
6.    Strategic
