Strengths And Weaknesses

To become an effective leader, a leader needs to be self-aware of their personal strengths and weaknesses (Marquis and Huston 2009). Therefore, a SWOT analysis [Appendix1] was performed to identify the four aspects of my “strength”, “weakness”, “opportunity” and “threats”. For this assignment, I will use one aspect of my strengths “good listener” and one aspect of my weaknesses “lack of

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision. Recognizing my talents and shortcomings will help develop both micro and macro levels of resource development needed to reach my full potential.

Throughout this course, I have learned several things about myself as a leader and about a leader in general. I feel like I now have the ability to point out many strengths and weaknesses I did not notice before. Strengths such as being able to find better ways of doing certain things, spot things that may or may not be really working, motivating team members, and working great under pressure. Some of my weaknesses include resisting change, constantly working within a group, because I always tend to feel like I'm doing either all or most of the work, and sometimes micro managing in an attempt to help/coach closely. Sometimes the micro-managing is unattended but at the same some things don't get right in time unless you keep a close eye on it.

Aman and Mr. Daniels leverage time each week to sit down and reflect on the experience. During this time, I have learned a remarkable amount of information about who I am as a leader. Success in life is important, therefore, one must continually be honest with themselves. Even though, there are a number of tools one can assess to gauge their growth. Self-reflecting is a vital tool improvement Therefore, when reflecting I found a few areas of focus. The chart below indicates the qualities that I possess as a leader. Granted that these qualities tend to fall in the category as both a strength and a weakness. The highlighted qualities are the areas that I will be focusing on this

At times, these strengths can be detrimental to my leadership abilities as I am one to overthink a situation and stress if something does not go according to my mental plans. Ultimately, this affects my attitude toward a situation. For example, I have been at an event before where something unexpected occurred and it 'threw me off' because I did not expect that thing to occur; therefore, my attitude became more negative because I had not prepared my reaction to such an event and I could not decide how to turn the situation around for a more positive perspective. I think this can apply to any person, as everyone has experienced a situation that did not play out as expected and made one change their own attitude towards the situation entirely. Additionally, I also find myself weak in self-discipline at times. Although I overthink and plan out events in my head, I still fall victim to laziness. I get in a 'funk' where I lack the drive and motivation to carry out the plans and goals I have created in my head. Because of this, I fail to prioritize my time wisely and carry out the necessary actions to achieve a goal. For example, I may create an elaborate and detailed plan to complete all my work and studying by an early hour of the night, so I can get more sleep and be better prepared for the week at school. However, if I fail to put in the work to live according to this

Hospital X has many strengths that maintain its presence within the medical field. One of those strengths is its ability to do cutting edge research.

As a leader that believes in the value of self-awareness and strengths-based philosophy, I believe we should always reflect and constructively act on our reflection in order to best find ways for mature growth. For example, I believe I am good at identifying risks, finding out of the box solutions, seeing opportunities, and acting on them. I am not as good, however, in spotting future issues, where the data has yet to be compiled. Understanding that, you should expect me to help you find what you are good at, cultivate it, and then help you to find resources to augment your

Throughout the history, until now, we have witnessed many great leaders. But what leadership skills make them a great leader? What are their strengths and weaknesses, their values and credibility? I have never asked these questions to myself up until taking this course. I have realized that being the one in power or being the one that leads is not enough to make you a great leader. There are many different elements of leadership and everyone has a different leadership style. Keeping all these in mind, I thought about my leadership and my personal vision. I have learned a great deal about leadership in this course and I aim to apply them all to my leadership experiences in the future.

Looking back to an inspiring leader of mine, George Washington, I see a man that was able to influence other to do great things that ultimately formed the United States after overcoming great odds against Great Britain. He was a transitional leader that was able to accomplish great things for which I idol him for that especially in a time where I do not see any true great leaders of George Washington’s caliber.

While reading about the Consciousness of Self portion of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: A Guide for Students, I learned not only about myself, but more about the necessary traits to becoming an effective leader.

It is also important to be able to incorporate these assets and drawbacks into your daily life, any group organizations, and especially in any leadership positions. Detailed down below are the three main concepts that stand out the most for me in leadership.
