Episode272: Working Outside Your Sweet Spot
When we have to do things we don't enjoy and don't do well...
Self-aware - you have to know
your personality
social vs not social...
your giftedness and skills
administrative leader - management
visionary leader
not a strong leader...
interests
attending certain events...

does someone have the skill set?

You can only survive this way for a time.
spend a majority of your time in your areas of strength
