Theories of Leadersip

According to the results of the Seven Habits Profile, I scored “very good” on the following categories: Be Proactive, Begin with the end in Mind, and Synergize. I scored just above “Good” on the following categories: Emotional Bank Account, Life Balance, Thin Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Sharpen the Saw, and Put First Things First. My scores were similar but there were a few categories that stand out both in positive and in areas where I see potential for improvement.

Being able to recognize my own strengths and weaknesses has help me become a better person in everything I have chosen to do in life. One of my strengths would be patience. This strength has lead me on a less stressful path to raising my seven-year-old son. When dealing with my son, whether it is during game time or school work, patience on my behalf makes me have self-control and not get anxious or become irritated. One of my weakness I would have to say is public speaking. Thanks to the speech class I took in college, I have learned to hide my fear while doing a presentation in front a big group of people, even though I begin to blush and I break

I work hard to achieve goals that I set for myself. My personality allows me to include anybody to the conversation which is great for making new friends. I honestly do not care what people say about me, therefore I can ignore it and do what makes me happy. My greatest weaknesses are my loudness, my motivation, and my bluntness. Sometimes I notice that I can be loud and obnoxious, which I understand can be annoying and frustrating to those around me. I try to better myself and make sure that I am not too loud at any given time. At the same time, being loud and obnoxious is who I am and if people cannot accept that, I do not need them in my life. Sometimes I am not motivated to start homework, or even start eating healthier. I am working hard to force myself to start those sorts of things. My brutal honesty is most likely my biggest weakness. Sometimes I say what I am thinking without it going through any filter. When I say things most of the time I have no filter. I believe honesty is the best policy, however, sometimes honesty can be taken harsh. I have been trying to correct myself before I say

One of my weaknesses is speaking. I’m not a very communicative person. I am shy, always have been. Until I get to know someone, I don’t really say much but maybe a few words. Most of the time, I’ll just listen and let the other person do all the talking, or nod my head. Another weakness is positive visualization and optimization. I often see the worst in things. I either worry that something will go wrong or nothing will work out. I tend to do this often when I get over stressed when something doesn’t work out the first time, or something fails. My self-management and emotional control is also one of my weakness. I have PTSD and depression. I had a rough childhood and teenage life because of my father who abused my mother in front of my sister and I, who also was never there for us and mistreated us after our mom filed for divorce when I was 15. I also just got out of an abusive marriage just a little over 5 years ago, after the first and last time he made my first two children

Learning your weaknesses is the hardest thing to swallow as a person even though everyone has them. The positive thing is it gives you reasons to work on you. My weakness is stubbornness, procrastination, and difficulty in relaxing. When I have a thought in my mind or see a situation that needs addressing I put my foot down

The Seven Habits Analysis consists of nine categories, two of those categories make up what is considered the foundation habits from which the other seven habits are built upon. Twelve was my lowest scoring in the category of life balance, to which I expected. I have been in the business of Medical Staff functions for the last ten years, due to the demands of the job, I have struggled for the last nine years in finding an appropriate work/life balance.

Overall my results indicate that I closely align with the Seven Habits principles. I scored the highest in the aspect of life balance and emotional bank account which in turn allows me to be a positive leader who is more level-headed. I also scored pretty high in the other habits with my lowest score being good, which means that even with my weakest habit, I am still exhibiting behaviors that are expected from the Seven Habits principles.

Skill Development In order to improve on my leadership skills, I must overcome challenging roles, and also learn from it. I will also learn from experienced supervisors. I will also take up the leading roles in leadership assignment, most especially when it comes to group work.

Leadership skills can be learned and practiced. It is not necessary to be an outgoing or charismatic person to be a good leader. A good leader learns from the different circumstances that their life presents and uses this to enhance their leadership skills.
