Question to think:

This may be a possible answer:

Rta:  

I think my strengths are in my ability to understand the intent of a project, master the details, and organize and pursue a well-developed project plan. My weakness might be that I can be a little impatient with people who don´t keep their commitments, although I´m learning that I get better results by being tactful and persistent in asking questions, rather than making demands.
