Nothing fuels an upward spiral like progress. And nothing accelerates progress like using strengths, as opposed to focusing on improving attributes that don’t come naturally.
In a sentence: focus most of your energy on identifying and leveraging strengths, and a small percentage on fixing weaknesses.
This works on the macro-level for organizations, and on the micro-level for each one of us.
