I always value and seek out the insights of others, and encourage others to express their opinions. The area of Category 8 where my score is weak is “I am creative in searching for new and better ideas and solutions.” I do have difficulty thinking outside the box for alternative solutions to problems, which makes my openness to the input of others especially important.

Over the span of my career I have held several positons in leadership and have been frequently called upon to lead large workgroups. As a result, I am often required to communicate information quickly and succinctly to a large group of people via e-mail. In the process of crafting these communications I have identified utilizing various formatting features in Microsoft Word can greatly enhance the readability of the communication, highlight key messages, increase the number of employees that read the e-mail, and improve message retention (Cardon, 2013).

“Hospitals can be non-profit, for-profit, and government-owned and/or operated” (Baker & Baker, 2006).
