Personal SWOT?

"The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none."

 Thomas Carlyle

19th century Scottish writer

How many of you who have done SWOT analysis on your company, have also done so on yourself?

With emphasis on the "W".

From Nothing To Something

"Our strength grows out of our weakness."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

19th century US poet, lecturer

I don't know if I believe that additional strength can also grow from our existing strength, but I completely understand the potential for growth from weakness.

At least potentially.  

Without effort on our part, beginning with recognizing what our weaknesses are, nothing will change.

What You Are, What You Aren't

"Analyzing what you haven't got as well as what you have is a necessary ingredient of a career."

Orison Swett Marden
Early 20th century writer, medical doctor, author

In today's speak, a personal SWOT (strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis; taking stock of the assets and lack thereof that you bring to the game.

SWOT is typically associated with business rather than the individuals who work in them, but why wouldn't you want to know this about yourself as well?

Do you?
