In this session while we are covering the difference between competence and strength, it was clearly identified to me these terminologies, which were always looks same in my mind. Surprisingly, I was focusing only on the willingness of team members to do the job and giving less consideration to their abilitietes to do the job by identifying their knowledge, skills required for particular task. I have discovered that understanding these terms are impartial for allocating right task to right staff.
