Positive Psychology

Psychology is discourse of soul.




Seeing a psychologist has a negative connotation on society but psychology can be a useful science on determining an individual's strengths, which is defined as positive psychology.

         Peter Drucker author of Managing Oneself
"One should waste as little effort as possible on improving areas of low competence.  It takes far more energy and work to improve from incompetence to mediocrity than it takes to improve from first-rate performance to excellence.
More on: Harvard Business Review- Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker
Drucker's  view is a about a journey on improvements of individual's abilities.

Giuseppe mentioned that a good manager figures out his/her team members strengths and weakness and distributes tasks accordingly, rather than give them feedback to improve themselves. "Alignment of strengths that can eliminate system weaknesses." I liked this saying a lot.
