I read this book 3 years ago which literally changed my life, my focus and my overall peace. I had found myself working on areas that I had no business spending time on and like you said, putting on the back burner the things I was good at since I felt like I had "gotten those things down pat." What a freeing thing it is to be secure in working in my strength areas while allowing others who are gifted where I am not to flourish! How freeing it is to say no knowing that it will only take time away from me laser beaming on my strengths. It's a win-win situation and makes for a powerful team and force to get things accomplished. It's also amazing to be on a team with a leader who gets this. I wish I would have read it sooner as well. Imagine if all the time I had spent working on my weaknesses were spent honing in on my strengths?? Scary actually! Great read, I too highly recommend it. Once again, excellent post Phil!
