I have come to recognize recently that strengths and weaknesses are often very, very closely related. Here are three sources that help corroborate this theory:
-
- Marshall Goldsmith
-
- Siimon Reynolds
-
- Shawn Achor
- Marshall Goldsmith’s What Got You Here Won’t Get You There is my favorite synopsis of this concept. Get the book or the summary.com version.
- A review of Why People Fail by Siimon Reynolds, Harvey Schachter — who writes my favorite section of the Monday Globe and Mail in addition to a great blog – includes attributes such as stress, money obsession, and mistaking IQ for EQ. Or you can get Siimon’s book.
- In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor uses the term “falling up” to describe how failure can accelerate our development
