Scrutinizing weakness to weed out bad habits
A weakness isn't always a true weakness. It can be a bad habit in disguise, as Peter Drucker discusses in his insightful book, Managing Oneself. For instance, you might consider presenting a weakness if you get nervous and have a poor track record. But this could stem from bad habits, like inadequate preparation, overreliance on slides or notes, or poor body language. To overcome this, you'd benefit from focusing on better preparation, practice, and delivery. Better habits will lead to better performance. Try this exercise to sift out any bad habits that might be holding you back. Divide a sheet of paper into three columns. In the first column, list your perceived weaknesses. In the middle column, identify bad habits contributing to these weaknesses. In the right column, note how you can address these bad habits. If tackling a particular weakness is important, start by replacing bad habits with better ones.
