Evaluation Of My Seven Habits Profile

In the reading, Encouraging the Heart by James Kouzes and Barry Posner, they seek to explore one of the most indescribable leadership skills of all caring. Caring is said to be an essential skill to be a successful leader, yet one of the most difficult to master. Kouzes & Posner propose that caring leadership is composed of seven essentials: setting clear standards, expecting the best, paying attention, personalizing recognition, telling the story, celebrating together, and setting the example. The book seeks to describe how and why caring leadership works, and goes beyond outlining practices and principles associated with this type of leadership. This book is an inspirational and uplifting blend of theory and principle, true-life stories of caring leadership, and self-reflecting questions.

The care that I will give my patient will also involve being empathic. This will enhance the development of the therapeutic relationship that will finally improve the outcomes. Compassion and empathy will make my patients more forthcoming with their symptoms. This yields accurate diagnosis. It also improves care given to patients. The interaction that takes place during this process affects the patient's recovery process. I also intend to cultivate a culture of trust between me and my patients. It has to be there for me to realize effective therapeutic relationship that leads to job satisfaction.

The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I

As health care providers, professionalism, respect and empathy should play an essential role in our daily routine. These core values allow us as health care providers to demonstrate understanding, compassion, and appreciation for our patients and their experiences. Utilizing these virtues will allow for an experience that will make the patient feel respected, valued and wanting to return.

It is impossible to escape the message here that if people work with leaders who encourage the heart, they feel better about themselves. Their self-esteem goes up. These leaders set people's spirits free, often inspiring them to become more than they ever thought possible. This, indeed, may be our ultimate mission as leaders.

Habit as defined in Webster’s as a: a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance b : an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary (Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online, 2011). Behavior is the manner of conducting oneself or anything that an organism does involving action and response to stimulation. In everyday life habits are formed and intertwined with ones behavior. People are often associated with the way they behave

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of “small habits” and how they can make your goals easier to achieve, it’s important to understand the presence and sheer power of habits in our every-day lives.

Since I was young I saw society often looked up to doctors, how history, revered them as great leaders men and women to be admired. That’s who I wanted to be. I wanted to be better myself in every aspect so that one day I could become the doctor I myself admired. Through the International Student Association (ISA) KSU Chapter under Mr. Martavius Thompson, I was able to build upon my leadership skills from high school. I learned that despite personal feelings, disagreements, and administrative hurds if you have goals there is always a way. That’s medicine, right? Doing whatever is morally and ethically necessary to help save a life. You may be working with someone who does not do their job correctly or is completely arrogant and uncooperative, however, at the end of the day, none of that will matter if there is a lapse in someone’s care. That is what ISA taught me, doing my job despite the

My parents always stressed the importance of being a well-rounded person. Besides being a good student, I am an avid bicycler, regular bowling tournament participant, and a recreational carpenter. More importantly, attempting to be well-rounded has taught me to be prepared to get my hands dirty. A good leader is willing to perform even the least appealing tasks; only then will he or she learn the importance of such tasks. This quality will be of great importance to me as it will certainly make me less arrogant and respectful of all people, whether they are patients or fellow colleagues. As a result, I will be able to respect my community and do my part in serving it.

It is important for me to continue to have respect for myself, my coworkers, but most of all, respect for my patients in my chosen profession. I must treat them with honestly and in turn, they will do the same. My patients must know that they can confide in me and count on me at all times. I will honor nonmaleficence and strive to beneficence my patients at all times. By doing this, I will remain accountable to myself, my patients, and to the code of

When I was younger, I couldn’t eat much, not that my stomach couldn’t bear it, but I wasn’t aloud too. I only remember the same boring food, spaghetti with garlic bread, and the milk that could wait to be sucked down, or oven chicken, with the same teriyaki taste that overpowered the chicken. The chicken was often eaten with corn and mashed potatoes. Dinner was always unbearable because I would always be the last one at the table, picking at my corn and dipping the tip of my fork into the runny mashed potatoes. I never ate much, but now, I eat allot. My mom says I eat enough for two grown men, and I now eat more than my 18 year old brother. I can put down a 4x4 from In and Out Burger and a taco right after. My goal is to be able to eat a

Altruism demands physicians to be more personal and more connected with the patients to make a difference in their lives. Physicians working in front line during the outbreak of HIV without having adequate information to protect themselves, is an example of altruism. Spending long hours

By being a servant leader, I will put the needs of my employees first to ensure that my company is socially responsible through quality customer service rendered by me and employees. Since leadership is considered a critical force in producing positive outcomes in organizations through the performance of employees, it is very important to take servant leadership seriously (Grisaffe, VanMeter, Chonko 2016). My main and foremost priority as a servant leader is to serve others with real selflessness before aiming for profit. For instance, as a non-medical owner of a care

Empathy. “The servant-leader strives to understand and empathize with others. People need to be accepted and recognized for their special and unique spirits. One assumes the good intentions of coworkers and does not reject them as people, even if one finds it necessary to refuse to accept their behavior or performance” (Spears, 2004).

What my time with Jack taught me, more broadly, is the importance and effectiveness of compassion within a work setting. By taking a moment to analyze and attempt to understand where a person’s words come from and how to properly respond, I tapped into Jack’s brilliance and continue to tap into the brilliance of those around me.
