Great leaders aren\u2019t flawless.<\/p>\n
In fact, it\u2019s the complete opposite.<\/p>\n
Being good at everything isn\u2019t just impossible. It\u2019s unhealthy.<\/p>\n
When people think that they can do it all, they fail to delegate or trust others- both of which are important skills for great leaders to practice.<\/p>\n
When you start your business<\/a>, you probably are doing most things. But to grow that business, you’ll have to build a team. That’s why every business plan<\/a> includes a section about the team. Even simple one page business plans include a section on the human resources you’ll need to build and grow your business.<\/p>\n Nobody can build a great business alone.<\/p>\n The best leaders recognize and work around their own weaknesses.<\/p>\n This isn’t just a theory – research supports this conclusion.<\/p>\n In a study<\/a> from Harvard Business Review, researchers found that combining skills (often a weakness with a strength) resulted in much more effective leadership. The study looked at several attributes of great leaders, including focusing on results and building relationships.<\/p>\n According to the researchers, both skills are qualities of great leaders but are rarely found in the same person. For example, only 14% of leaders with strong skills in focusing on results qualified as \u201cexceptional leaders.\u201d Similarly, only 12% of leaders exhibiting strengths in building relationships are classified as \u201cexceptional leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n However, 72% of the leaders who exhibited both skills were \u201cexceptional leaders.\u201d For the most part, these leaders exhibited both skills because they had recognized a weakness within themselves and worked on it, not because they were naturally good at both \u201ccompetencies.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more about what your strengths and weaknesses might be, check out What Kind of Leader Are You? 7 Business Leadership Styles and How to Become a Better Leader<\/a>.<\/p>\nWeaknesses and strengths work better together<\/h2>\n
