THE 3 WORDS THAT MARK A WEAKNESS-OBSESSED SOCIETY | Building A Society With A Strengths Focus

Written By Jason Ho

We are a society obsessed with weakness. We encounter it from our early years when we hear our parents using these 3 infamous words: "No", "Stop", "Don't". In school, we are instructed to focus on the subjects where we do poorly in. Similarly, in the workplace, our managers highlight our weaknesses as "areas for improvement".

The change that society needs is a shift from a weakness-focused mentality to a strengths-based one. The key to society bringing out the best in people is not to pick out flaws, but to identify what people are good in, and to build on that.

Watch to find out how to you can be part of the society that works towards being Strengths-motivated.
