Strengths My mother and grandma both suffered from pancreatic cancer. The cancer had caused them both to get depression, I didn’t see my mom dealing with depression, but I have watched my grandma go through it. Watching my grandma go through it, I realized that I wanted to help. In Indian communities, mental health is frowned upon. People talk about it as a joke, and they don’t think it is a big deal. So, my goal is to make sure people like my grandma get help, and never should be treated with disrespect because of their mental illness. A strength that helps me in a group environment would that I am very organized. For example, when doing projects, I usually make lists for myself, as well as the groups. Making lists for everyone can make …show more content…
So, I refrain from saying them out loud. This weakness serves as a barrier because I have ideas and opinion, but I am don’t say them in fear of being judged. I have witnessed other get laughed upon after saying their opinion so I get uncomfortable in those kinds of situations. Secondly, I don’t take credit for all my successes. Sometimes, I brush off compliments saying that anyone could do it. This a negative way to think about myself because I should be proud of my accomplishments and not shy away from being proud of myself. Thirdly, I can be impatient sometimes towards people that are doing tasks at a slower pace than me. I like to be efficient and organized, and finishing a task as soon as possible after starting it, but seeing someone going at a slower pace than I makes me frustrated. For example, last night at work I needed fries for my order. They had already been called twice and still had not been received. So rather than being understanding, I stood right behind them until I got my fries. My co-workers have often perceived me as impatient. So, this weakness is something I need to work on. I need to be more understanding that they have other orders to complete as well as mine. As a heath care provider, I would like to learn how to be more understanding and being patient with the patients. Sometimes I start to jump to conclusions in different scenarios in personal relationships. For example, if a friend replies to a
One of my strengths is that if I enjoy a class I learn and focus a great deal better. If I can find something I like about each class I will most likely learn better. I can also organize when I choose to. Organization will help me keep things in order and keep my things from being lost. Another strength is being good at relaxation. Most people wouldn’t think of relaxation as a strength but I think it is. I can use relaxation to keep myself from getting overly stressed. When I get super stressed it’s almost as if my brain shuts down. In addition to my strengths, I have some weaknesses.
“Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is a process, working together is success.” - Henry Ford. Some ways I am strong in a group include leadership and responsibility skills and being honest and straightforward. I am good at being a leader and make sure everything happens right, I do this by keeping track of time & making sure everyone understands what we are doing. I am honest and straightforward in that I will tell people if they are making a mistake or doing a problem wrong. I will also accept the fact that I am wrong sometimes, when I am wrong I try not to take the answer from somebody and I find another way to do the problem. Although I have these strengths I have weaknesses to go along with them. For instance when I try making sure everyone knows what we are doing I take charge and assign everybody a job rather than letting everybody work it out. Sometimes I am also very forceful when telling somebody they are incorrect, I could work on
I make people feel comfortable and offer a positive energy to the group. I am open to hearing what people have to say and do not cut them off. I am not afraid of reading my paper first or being the one to make the rules or set an agenda. I would say my biggest strength is the ability to be a leader and not necessarily a follower. I would say my areas to improve regarding small group communication would be to not speak so fast and to not make assumptions that people already know the information. I can explain the information better to the people I am talking to by not saying so many “ums” and “likes” in my
Another agency strength for me is actively participating. This is completely different than my first domain, but I always try to participate. In the rubric it says “Actively participates in the activity/discussion, team meeting, or independent time and has strategies for staying focused and resisting most distraction”. Whenever I am unfocused I make sure it is quiet and then I get focused. I always try to participate when I understand. Doing my part of the group work , I never have late work, and helping when needed. I want to use strengths to over power and make my weaknesses my
When I have a goal, I tend to be too focused on the goal and that causes countless opportunities to fly over my head. Because I’m so generous and cooperative, I can taken advantage of easily. There was a time when somebody keep postponing the day they would pay me back and I sympathised for him, so I kept agreeing to his proposals. Two years later, and no money was paid back. Since I’m a perfectionist, one mistake can cause me to lose confidence in whatever I was doing. When I’m too organized at something, I become less and less flexible with changes and that can cause some issues. I also become impatient with those who are disorganized, but I have the urge to help them not only for them but for my mind as well. None of my weaknesses cause too much trouble for those around me because I learn to manifest it towards achieving a positive result in the end. I may suffer in the process, but helping the helpless is just as
According to Strength Finders, my strengths are adaptability, includer, consistency, empathy, and relator. For the most part I have always been very aware of most of my strengths, but the others I haven't really paid much attention to.
On the other hand, very many of my strengths include, being up for challenges and working well with others. I am very strong, social, kind hearted and I’m a great leader.
As the interviewer, I feel that I will bring a variety of both strengths and weaknesses/biases to this project. As for strengths, I am usually a very punctual person. Because of that, I’ll be able to cover the most ground possible during our visits because I’m on time or early. Another strength of mine here is that I am able to pinpoint the important points in her answers to each question that I ask. That way, I can type more efficiently and do not have to worry about having to type out each answer word-for-word. Because Jane loves to talk, most of her answers will most likely be very long. It would take far too long to write each of Jane’s answers in its entirety. I need to be able to write the most important parts of each answer. As far as weaknesses and biases go, I am scared of offending my interviewee by talking about old age and the end of life. This might interfere with some of the questions that I am able to ask and the information I am able to gain from this interview.
The first strength I have developed is the ability to read and understand people. I believe I work great with people and have a good sense of what or how people are feeling. This skill that I have developed will benefit me throughout my life and leadership positions. I believe that having this skill makes me a good coach. It is said in our text book that, “coaching is one of the critical competencies for being an effective leader” (Nyman, p.5). I have learned in my personal life from many great coaches and leaders. The two most important tasks to accomplish as a good coach is first, make sure those you are coaching respect you, and second is to make sure the rules and expectations are clear. I will continue to learn to be a better people
Secondly, task focus is a weakness I display. I get so absorbed in completing tasks, and I tend to forget about the personal aspect. I do not handle small talk well. Instead of building a relationship with people, I just handle the tasks efficiently and move to the next task. The profile shows this in category 9 and 5. I am not close with my immediate co-workers. They will chat about their weekend plans or what their wives are doing. Usually, I am playing music with headphones on, and focused on getting the work done. Normally, I only engage people when I need something or they need something. Again, this hurts a team when people are not personally or emotional engaged. A leader that only communicates when something is needed could make members feel used and unimportant.
There are two areas of strength I have identified. The first strength is self-awareness/self-management from the Interpersonal Skills and Personal Characteristics category. The second strength is public speaking from the General Personal Skills category. In the past, I would not have considered these as strengths, but over time they have become an integral asset as I have progressed in my personal life and career. I have been able to utilize them to my advantage in order to receive effective feedback such as constructive criticism or when I have a disagreement with others.

Well from working as a supervisor and a team lead for many years I have come to find my strengths and weakness with being in a leadership role. I have also come to realize that I was kind of thrown into it before I was fully ready. My strengths are that I am very fair in how I treat co-workers, I am very stern when it comes to doing the job right, as well as making sure everything is done in a safely matter. My weakness was that I was not able to separate my need for wanting to be liked with the need to correct co-workers. It was something that was never explained to me that when you are in the leadership role, some people will not like how you lead.
There are a few weaknesses that are associated with my leadership style. The first weakness is not taking enough time to fully know and understand my subordinates. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the busy workplace. Unfortunately, overlooking the needs and wants of staff can sometimes happen. I need to be vigilant and take extra time out of my day to really listen and connect with the staff on a professional and
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses in an area, but our weaknesses can improve and be turned into another strength. One of my main weaknesses was reading and comprehension skills; whether it being a book, article, or even notes. It’s something I have always struggled with, but every weakness can improve into a strength depending on how badly you’re willing to work for it.
