Charlotte Crivelli, co-founder of Klick Communications, believes that it would be a mistake. "In my business, convey a culture that people should work in jobs that utilize their strengths," he said. "We do not get to kill in the time people think to improve your weaknesses. Someone else will be strong when they are weak, and it is my duty to make sure everyone is on what not what excited and exhausted.
