 of an excellent book on management and leadership: [https://www.amazon.com/First-Break-All-Rules-Differently/dp/1595621113 First Break All The Rules] that explores what differentiates great managers/leaders from those who are just good.
 
-The other important less of FBATR is to focus on strengths (not weaknesses).  Many managers focus on what people do wrong or areas they are not strong in and trying to improve those.  Great managers don't do this; instead they focus on people's strengths and help cultivate them.  It's hard to make an introvert into an extrovert (and usually a miserable experience for both parties).  It's much easier (and more fun and rewarding) to help someone who likes organization and is good at it to become a great project manager.  By focusing on their strengths, you will help the person develop in areas they enjoy and become great at what they do; you will build their confidence and help make your team wildly successful.
