Managing Your Weaknesses

How making the most of your strengths can play a key role

A GMJ Q&A with Kenneth A. Tucker
We are constantly forced to cope with our own weaknesses. Moving into a different job, taking on a challenging project, getting promoted into management -- situations like these usually require us to confront our own "areas for improvement" -- or those of the people we supervise. In this GMJ Q&A, Kenneth A. Tucker tells how using your top talents can help you manage your weaknesses.
Kenneth A. Tucker is coauthor of Gallup's book Animals, Inc.: a Business Parable for the 21st Century (Warner Books, February 2004).
