Relationships must be task-focused rather than personality-focused.
To make strength productive is the unique purpose of the organization.
It cannot overcome the weaknesses with which each of us is abundantly endowed.
But it can make them irrelevant.
Its task is to use the strength of each man as a building block for joint performance.
Strong people always have strong weaknesses too.
In an organization one can make his strength effective and his weakness irrelevant.
To tolerate diversity, relationships must be task-focused rather than personality-focused.
The task of an executive is not to change human beings. The task is to multiply performance capacity of
the whole by putting to use whatever strength, whatever health, whatever aspiration there is in
individuals.
Peter Drucker
