This statement reminds me of my former boss whom I admired for his passion and knowledge of the sector we were working in. The man was abreast with most of the activities that occurred in the sector, understood the legislative framework in which we operated under, and understood and managed to interpret the policies that governed our existence.
Like any human being, my boss had a weakness and his weakness was arrogance. The knowledge and experience that he gained through out the years made him undermine other people’s contribution, his arrogance made it difficult for him to accept advice from people he had mentored. Unfortunately his arrogance blocked his ability to see potential on the contribution made by others. His determination and eagerness to shine more that everyone else made him to fall hard and lose all the credibility he had throughout his career. Indeed, our greatest strength can be our greatest weaknesses.
