Another practical and valuable post, Mardy. Loved your story about the traffic stop. I've taught cops in criminal justice training and was advised when stopped to never act tough and say, "What's the problem?" Instead calmly say, "Officer, how can I help your?" Also if you're stopped by a patrol car, don't argue, admit your mistake, act humble. The patrol officer's job is to lecture you. However, if you are pulled over by a motorcycle cop, to quote an officer, "You're screwed." His job is to write tickets. Many thanks for your honest and insightful weekly posts as well as your many enlightening books.

In advising his clients where to place their efforts to improve, Dan Sullivan, The Strategic Coach, suggests that they concentrate on improving their strengths. If your strengths are particularly strong, then your weaknesses will pale in comparison. On the other hand, if you concentrate on improving your weaknesses, all that you will end up with are Strong Weaknesses!
