Detecting Excess

Kaplan, R. E., & Kaiser, R. B. (2005). Detecting excess: Versatility is a prize virtue. Leadership Excellence, 22(1), 6-7.

Many a leader goes overboard and, ironically, turns his or her strengths into liabilities. Versatile leaders know their strengths, guard against overusing them, and also work to develop skill in areas that don’t come so naturally to them. The result is a well-rounded portfolio of skills that brings greater success and effectiveness.
