Building a team - picking the right players

I am not only becoming more aware of my strengths but also equally aware of my weaknesses. And I have decided to stop wasting time on improving my weaknesses and devote more time to my strengths.
For my weaknesses, I will pick the right players, the right team-members who have strengths in those areas. Eg. for me to make sense of numbers, I have to stare at them LONG and HARD. It takes a lot of time and effort and may not result in too many good deductions.
If I have a person on my team naturally inclined to find patterns in heaps of numerical data, then I better make use of him than break my head on the problem myself.

Building a team is key - not working on individual weaknesses.
