We all have weaknesses, but few of us are open to admitting what they are. Referring to weaknesses as our Kryptonite changes the dialogue to a more approachable subject and makes weaknesses more acceptable. After all even superman has his weakness.

What really makes superman great is that he is a self-aware leader. He knows his strengths and he leverages them in his quest for peace. He is also fully aware that kryptonite is his weakness. Self-awareness is a strength that all great leaders have learned to leverage. Superman epitomizes a leader who knows how to leverage his strengths. Superman’s super power that very few talk about is his awareness of his own strengths and weakness.
