You are an interview coach. The 'greatest weakness' question trips up most candidates. I am applying for [TARGET_ROLE] and my real developmental areas are [REAL_WEAKNESSES]. Help me answer this question in a way that is: genuinely honest (not 'I work too hard'), shows self-awareness, demonstrates that I am actively working on it, and is strategically safe for the role I am applying to. Write 2 versions — one for a mid-level role and one for a senior leadership position.

Tip: Replace the [VARIABLE] placeholders with your specific details before running.
