So search for the areas which you think are weak and soon start working on them. This process can be explained by below mentioned figure in a concise manner:


Now comes "Secrets of success" that comprises of
    a) Competencies (Behavioral traits eg- Leadership etc. )
    b) Knowledge and skills (Specialized courses eg-SCM, IT)
