SWOT , Got the Strength ?

I recently publish an article on SWOT analysis. Having worked through it myself I was left feeling shattered and upset from the feedback I received from others. We all have strength as well as weakness unless of cause you are a one of those super human beings. If that’s the case please don’t forget to share it with me here.

Okay back to my point, I am very aware of most of my weakness and had to draw attention to them of late in order to better myself .So what happened? I went through the SWOT worksheet, filed out each section objectively and to the best of my knowledge felt its best to gather more information from people that know. Bravely I sent a work sheet off to them. Oh my goodness! It came back with some fantastic points and some weak points. It was nice to receive feedback but I could not believe how affected I was with the weak points that were highlighted. I could not help but feel slightly down. I went through each step of the list/feedback and thank goodness it took me less than 24 hours to accept the points I felt were applicable to me and eliminate the ones I refused to agree with ,some people talk a lot of hogwash guys (am sure you will agree with me?) .Then came up with an idea to work on those points I had accepted with an action plan; That made me feel much better. Like I mentioned earlier we all have strength and weakness which we sometime we only remember when we have to apply for a job that does not have to be the case because we can equally apply Swot to most if not all areas of our life’s . So my questions are….

Questions

How do you feel when others highlight your weakness?

Do you roll around in self pity, denial or projection?

Or do you simply dismiss feed back?

Or do address them?

Or do you simply don’t go there at all, it doesn’t matter what people say , basically you don’t give a damn and don’t SWOT yourself either ?
