"You decide," I said. "You decide what you want to improve on."
The class had just completed a survey, looking at strengths and weaknesses.
"You decide, if you would like to focus on and improve an area of weakness. Or you may decide to focus on and improve an area of strength.
"Correcting a weakness only creates a mediocre performance. Building on a strength creates mastery. You decide what you want to improve upon." -TF

There is a said that you are as strong as your weakest point.
My decision would be to focus on and improve weakest point. And, bring it to an standard level. Of course, while concentrating on improving I would must maintain other aspects of operation at their highest level of standards.

Think about your analogy of the weakest link. In a chain, where the strength of individual contributions is required, the weakest link may be a factor. There is also a point of view that says, work on your strengths, so that your weaknesses become irrelevant.
