Process Analyst Reflection

Changing your engine oil is one of the single most important vehicle maintenance acts you can perform. Over time the oil breaks down and no longer performs its job the way it did when it was new. Your engine 's oil helps absorb heat from the engine and lubricates moving metal parts that would otherwise grind together. As you drive, the oil pump circulates oil within your engine and the oil filter catches the deposits that build up over time. The oil filter performs its own type of car maintenance by keeping the oil clean. But as the oil gets older, the number of deposits in the oil continues to build and the filter is unable to extract all of the material. When this happens, the color of the oil changes and it indicates the oil should be

Strengths and Weaknesses: My strengths include experience and tradition. These allow me to consider multiple views and see exactly what is going on with the situation. This also lets me know exactly what to do to make people happy. I also have the gift of free will and compassion. This lets me have empathy for everyone. I do have weaknesses as well. Failure and confusion are a part of my weakness. I will eventually confront the loss of my center if I do not develop the practice of mindfulness and reflection. I do have compassion for all people. It says that my vice is becoming greedy or hard hearted. I personally do not see myself doing that. My conscience would not let me be greedy or hard hearted.

A second strength would be an individualized consideration provided to each team member with a focus on self-interest which as a key advantage to accomplishing good work. My team trusts my guidance as their leader because they know that in the end I have their success as individuals in mind. Over time I have proven to them that I have no personal agenda to adhere to and therefore the decisions I make with regard to them are solely for their benefit. I am able to delegate tasks to individuals that I believe are willing and excited to accept the task at hand, whether they believe they are ready or not. It is my belief in others to rise to any challenge that fuels my strength as a leader. Only when they do not succeed, do I find it necessary to intervene and take action. This foundation of trust is also vital to my success as a leader.

My biggest strength is my adaptability. I always try to have an open mind when I meet others who have different views than me. I see the option for learning in my failures, and always keep in mind my end goal when things don’t always go as planned. My biggest weakness is that I always like to be in control. I like to have a plan, and stick to it. I will overcome this weakness by trusting others to take lead, and stop worrying about things I have no control over.

One of the things that worked well in our group was the willingness of those in the group to listen to each other and entertain various viewpoints. I think that mutual respect is the key when working with groups. Each of us played different roles in the group: some of us were listeners, some of us were leaders, and some who were initially listeners became leaders as the group went on. Within our group we had different personality types and communication styles.

I found that my top five weaknesses are as follows: 1. Money management, 2. Understanding technology, 3. Energy level, 4. Seeking support from others and 5. Ability to focus on one thing at a time (Bethel University, 2014).

I am flawed with many weaknesses but I am also equipped with many strengths as well. My strengths consist of being an organized and hardworking. Science and history are two areas I excel in. Science is one of my strengths because I can learn about a range of topics and be able to see how they all work in a sense. History is another strong point I have mostly due to the fact the past is

My psychological strength is perseverance to attain worthy goals, to stay focused in the moment when it counts, to get the job done regardless of the setbacks, to remain true to myself and my team, to walk the talk, to be humble when attaining success and to remain dedicated, determined, and disciplined when experiencing setback, obstacles, and mistakes.

All my friends have always called me loyal to a fault aka I would follow anyone I trust over a cliff.Whether this can be considered a strength or a weakness is up to you. Being a ESTJ it is claimed that my strengths include multiple things but the few that I believe directly apply to me are strong-willed,direct, and enjoy creating order/organizing.My weaknesses as a ESTJ that I relate too are being stubborn, finding it difficult to relax, and a difficulty in expressing my emotions.

Now that our group has come to a decision, I think this assignment is great way to look back and reflect on our group journey. As the oldest member of the group, I knew that I might change the dynamics of the group. I have had many group activities were the other members give me more credit than I deserved because of my age and experience. In other moments, I tend to have too much initiative or assertiveness were I take control of the group. When I was in the Marines, I would quickly accept the leadership responsibilities and show the initiative to separate myself from the rest. After leaving the Marines and starting school, it has been a little different. Even though I want to go to my defaults, I get self-conscious about giving the younger students the opportunity to take the lead. I get this uneasy feeling that I am being too assertive or taking their opportunity to grow. So, to prevent that default or awkwardness, I did what I usually do in this kind of setting; I try not to take the leadership position and let others take that opportunity. I intentionally stepped back and watched things play out and helped if needed. Since I am a very vocal person, I found it hard taking this position. What really surprised me during the group assignments where the initiative each group member showed throughout our PSP journey. This experience reaffirmed my belief that with a group of motivated individuals and the right dynamics, pretty much anything can get done.

I think a weakness that I have is Enable Others to Act: Foster collaboration through trust & relationships. I think for the most part they know how to do their job. Although they do not talk so much with each other I think they know their job in their own way. What my weakness comes with the adding of my job to their job. I won’t have any control over it when I am gone and I can only hope that they will offer all the information to the members.

“Helpful Tips for Collaboration in Group Work” provides an excellent template of what it looks like to be a part of something greater than one’s self. It articulates in writing things that I have discovered oftentimes through the hard way with things going wrong in group projects. Like many, I share the frustrations of doing 90% of the work in a group project, in my case it was building a lego robot in the 6th grade. My partner and I had a blast dreaming up the possibility of bringing a robot to class for a project about industrial technology, but that same passion was not transferred to the workload. I relate to being the domineering partner also, through many cultural presentation in the 9th grade where I insisted on controlling the direction of everything the group was doing. If my group members had only known how to use humor and directness as described in this article the group as a whole would of been much more productive. I discovered the importance of setting clear attendance expectations when members of the leadership team I was a part of did not consistently show up, and we did not know what to do because there were

1..My groups best role accomplishment was the facilitator, because that person kept everyone in line when we might have gone astray/ off topic.

My strengths are that I am self-motivated, quick learner from seeing the objects, helping others and hard working. While my weakness is the fear of failing, but I'm taking it as learning and improve towards the mistake. I put so much pressure on myself to become a beautiful diamond; I am still on the journey on figuring out my purpose in life and using it to glorify his name, leading me to place enormous weight and expectation onto myself.

I found that shopping for an Unabridged Dictionary is similar to shopping for a new pair of shoes; your selection must fit you perfectly. I thought the process would be fairly simple; however, it is indeed a process that takes thought and patience. I was looking for a dictionary that not only had an extensive and up-to-date Word Entry Section, but also one that would fit me as a Political Science student and as an individual. After great contemplation, I purchased “Collins English Dictionary Complete And Unabridged 9th Edition.” The Front Matter (Cover to Word Entry Section) is what initially brought my attention to this particular dictionary. The shades are blue and red that cover page is drenched in reflects the cool but fiery personality I have. Also, because the dictionary gives me the option of accessing it from my mobile phone. PC, or in print (advertised on the cover), it's as if I am getting three dictionaries for the price of one.
