Complement

Hi.

I doubt if complement and cover are good verbs for strength and weakness respectively in the following context.

I learned how to complement my teammates’ strength and cover their weaknesses to achieve a unique goal.

Moreover, I wonder if ther word how is good there.



I think cover weakness has negetive conotation meaning hiding or sth like that.



I want to say that people who are in the same group can support eachother by helping one another to boost their strong points and remove their weakness.

I would be grateful if you would let me know if you can think of other ways to convey this concept.

I learned how to complement my teammates' strengths and offset their weaknesses to achieve our goals. You can reinstate 'unique goal' if the broader context is speaking of a single, unusual project.
