I give you this one in it’s entirety. It speaks for itself. In the first 4 days this post was up it was “Liked” by nearly 2000 facebookers and retweeted nearly 1700 times. That’s a lot of buzz around weakness being strength. Sound familiar? Try 2 Corinthians 12:9.
Demonstrating strength
Apologize
Defer to others
Avoid shortcuts
Tell the truth
Offer kindness
Seek alliances
Volunteer to take the short straw
Choose the long-term, sacrificing the short
Demonstrate respect to all, not just the obviously strong
Share credit and be public in your gratitude
Risking the appearance of weakness takes strength. And the market knows it.
