I'd take it a step further and say it's downright irresponsible and a huge waste of human potential (and potential in general) to not leverage other people, especially the strengths of others and what people are good at.

The more we try to do what we're best at and use other people for what we aren't good at (when they are good at it), and the more we outsource what nobody is really good at or what nobody wants to do to technology and other such systems ("technology" doesn't have to be electronic), the more empowered and effective we will become.

Oh and this isn't a response to Steve; more of a general statement using Steve's post as a jump pad.

I enliven people by illuminating their strengths and encouraging them to harness their most fullfilling, energising strengths so that we're all stronger.

Some people say "you're here to shine." If you look closely, you realise you shine already.
