Strength Base Testing My Top Five Strengths

After completing the strength finder 2.0 assessment, the five strengths that were identified were Focus, Achiever, Learner, Intellection and Discipline.

I have many different qualities that attribute to my character. Some including, I am a naturally positive person, I am non-judgmental, and I try my best to be focused and efficient. I also like to make people laugh, but I know when to be serious. Part of being a good leader is knowing how to work as a team. Many of the activities I participate in have shown me how to do so. I believe in working as a team to come up with solutions, plans, and ideas.

For me to be an effective leader, I must first evaluate my strengths. I took the Gallup 2.0 Strength Finder report which showed my strengths in an insight and action planning guide. The results indicated the top five themes for me were input, learner, responsibility, maximizer and arranger. I believe the

It takes a lot to be a leader. It takes experience, communication, positivity, passion, and much more to be an effective leader. Communication, positivity, and passion are the three most important characteristics to me. I represent all three of these with great pride. I communicate effectively whether it be in the classroom, on

The other quality of a leader that I exhibit is hard work and dedication. I do my best to make each assignment or activity I do the best it can possibly be. I only ever miss school, practice or work if I have no other option available to me, and when I do miss, I try to make up my work as quickly as I can. I use the drive that I have in school, swim, and work to strengthen my leadership qualities.

Before anyone can become a good leader, they have to be able lead themselves in whatever area they want to lead in and I feel like I am a perfect example of that. Not everything comes easy for me, so I have had to learn to have good time management, self-discipline, and perseverance. These traits have helped me in my school work, athletics and in leadership in the community.

My top five strengths would include: positivity, achiever, learner, relator and included, and tactic knowledge all come together to help an individual become a successful person and even leader. If I had to pick my top three traits that I feel are the most important for a leader would include: personality, motivation and problem solving skills. As mentioned before that all traits that we read are very important.

The leadership qualities that I have always been known to have in the work that I always do are persistence and patience. I strongly believe that my family and Mexican-American heritage have significantly contributed to my leadership qualities since taking care of my autistic brother while my Mom works almost every day was a struggle for me but I adopted patience and persistence which helped me manage to take care of my brother and do school work simultaneously.

My current strengths as a leader would have much to do with my ability to foster accountability, network, and to effectively communicate both verbally and written. Working in the healthcare industry change is constant so possessing these strengths makes a difference in the field. Fostering accountability is important when making sure that you are fair across the board and treating everyone with respect. With so many branches of healthcare networking and relationship building allows for many opportunities for future collaboration. Effective communication is the universal language which allows for those in leadership roles to be innovative when expressing visions and generating new ideas. When It comes to weakness struggling with lack of being

I believe that my competency strengths are teamwork, leadership and communication also referred to as T.L.C. A goal cannot be completed by one person, a leader must not only trust that their team can complete the goal, but trust that they will be able to work together. Communication is also essential for leaders because it helps everyone understand what goals needs to be accomplished and what would be the best way to accomplish the goal. communication is essential because it allows me to form a bond with my team members and get to know everyone's personal strengths and weaknesses. I value everyone on the team and want to make sure that we are utilizing our strengths and improving our weaknesses. At the end of the day my goal as a leader is

When it comes to leadership strengths and domains I felt that the strength finder did a nice job of identifying my qualities. My top three strength finder results were relator, harmony, and restorative. My favorite quality and the one that I associate most with when it comes to personal leadership strengths is relator. I take pride in being able to form strong relationships with others based on trust and shared experiences. Personally, I feel that I combine relator and harmony when I have interactions with others, and groups. I like to understand their thought process, what

To be successful and to be a leader in my opinion is to find your strengths and learn what you can do with them. There are so many different tests out there to find your rooted strengths that there is no reason why somebody shouldn’t find that they are, it’s really beneficial. I’ve specifically honed in on the Jung Personality Survey, John Holland’s The Party Occupation Finder and StrengthsQuest. Each test go about a different approach but each have produced results that are similar with some key differences.

I completed the Big Five Personality Test. The personality traits in which aid my leadership abilities are as followed: I am relatively open to new experiences, very well organized, and can be relied upon. I am social and enjoy the company of others, good-natured, courteous, and supportive, and I remain calm, even in tense situations ("Big Five Project - Personality Test," n.d.).

My best leadership qualities are in the category of a transformational leader. Transformational leaders are a leader that influences, inspire, move and literally transform followers to achieve organizational goals beyond their self-interests thus initiating about positive change. They also introduce new business models, products and services because of their ability to create new organizational visions, strategies, cultures, and structures through committed followers. Transformational leaders positively change follower’s lives, lifting spirits and even the commitment to ethics and morality (Weiss, J. (2011)

Assessing positive leadership traits is very essential to acknowledging a good leader. The following positive leadership traits are, “Task competence, interpersonal competence, intuition, traits of character, biophysical traits, and personal traits” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013, p. 469).
