Some very sound advice by Marcus Buckingham in his book First Break All the Rules states that good managers should first understand the strengths, knowledge, and talents of their employees. Then, rather than concentrating on adding to an employee that which has been left out, focus on getting out what was left in.
In other words, work with what they (you) have. This is also good advice for yourself. Evaluate your strengths and continue to work with them. An analogy would be the parent who spends more time on their child's strength than on their weakness.
Imagine if you could more fully understand your stengths and spend time working on them. You cannot get better only by improving what you are bad at. Instead you need to develop what you are good at.
