Barriers That Get in the Way of Finding Your Sweet Spot
Competency plus Organizational Needs but No Passion. In this
situation (Figure 5-2), a person has the competence and the organizational
need is present, but there is no passion for the job. This person will often feel
bored, stuck, or “pigeon-holed.” In this situation, a person might have a job he
has been working at for a long time; he has great competence, but he has been
in his position for so long that he fails to see any challenge or excitement.
Organizational Needs plus Passion but No Competence. In this sit-
uation (Figure 5-3), a leader works in an organization that has a need and where
the leader has a great deal of passion, but not a high level of competence.
