Identifying and understanding your own personal strengths is key to being a successful leader. Knowing your strengths means you can focus your efforts to maximize results, in yourself and in others. Strengths Finder 2.0 is designed to uncover your strengths and utilize these strengths to your advantage (Rath, 2007).

In addition to my personal challenges my personal strengths interfer. A personal strength I have is talking , I love sharing my opinion. Another personal strength I have is giving good advice because I love helping people solve their problem or help make their lives easier. Lastly another personal strength I have is just listening because I am a good person to vent to because I don’t judge. Therefore I always spread positivity and lean a hand.

Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.

My second key strength is showing gratitude to others. If someone does something for me or helps me develop a new skill. I show gratitude to them by thanking them, and I tell them that really appreciate their help. I am there for that person when they need my help.

Strength is that part of your intellect or nervous system that is more effective and productive than other parts. Throughout your experience of life, your actions or reactions drive different thoughts, behavior and emotion in your brain. The requests that are processed more efficiently and rapidly are known as your strengths. Nowadays, strengths-based approaches to work and life are gaining a lot of popularity and often they are used to improve leadership and create more productive and efficient work teams.

These strengths include organization, participation, and creation of checklists. I feel I stay very organized in this class, as I have all of my documents organized inside my binder ready for a notebook check. In regards to participation, I try my best to raise my hand nearly every class. I stay active and focused so that I can obtain all of the information. I also ask questions frequently which helps me to avoid mistakes or any confusion. My final strength, the fact that I create checklists, has benefitted me immensely. Checklists help to make sure all requirements are met for any project or essay, which is how I received a 91 on my Pilgrim Presentation and an 85 on my Canterbury Tales Short Essay. Checklists have helped me to score higher on assignments with multiple requirements, but not all assignments were as simple as creating a

For this spring semester, I decided to participate and complete the Aspiring Leader On Track program. The three events I attended were: How to Lead a Meeting, Climate Change, and Leadership Lessons from Leslie Knope. The Aspiring Leader is developed specifically for freshman and sophomores in college. The purpose of this track was to help develop leadership and social skills for the following years of college life.

I have to admit that creativity and innovation isn’t my strong suite personally. I don’t have the strongest skills when it comes to creative thinking and implementing my own creative ideas. I don’t have a powerful imagination I feel that I need a little more confidence in myself and not let fear take over. I can improve on this by staying alert to opportunities that come my way and thinking outside the box. I’m not knowledgeable on wide range of information, but I’m a very resourceful person. I do have the ability to recognize great ideas and I will help assist to turn those ideas into reality. Therefore, I will have members on my team who are very creative and challenged intellectually. I will provide them with the tools and resources are needed to help them to stand out and excel in their career. Another weakness I have is jumping out there and taking risks. I have never been a risk taker and I avoid it as much as possible, I like to plan and think things through before jumping into something. This is something I need to work on during my career to help with enhancing innovation. I will have an open mind when it comes to encouragement and risk taking. I will also work on pursuing innovation for the growth of our

Strengths are “natural talents and abilities that have been supported and reinforced with learned knowledge and skills.” (Daft, ch.15) My personal strengths have developed over time and will continue to evolve as I learn more about leadership and management. My strengths are: an Internal Locus of Control, Authentic Leadership and Emotional Intelligence.

Strengths in interviewing are based around how well one can answer questions, but still captivate the interviewer 's interest. One of my strengths was my passion. Answering questions that dealt with my passion allowed my personality to shine through. Using that as an advantage, I was able to show the interviewers

Before entering college, I have never done any survey that could point out my strengths. However, currently I know what my five strengths are and I am trying to focus on it to make it more powerful and useful. Five of my strengths are restorative, includer, consistency, responsibility and positivity. I do not know it is exactly right for me and it also depends on the situation. At the moment, I found out that four of the strengths are true to me, however, positivity, it does have it in my blood but if I am on a deadline for assignment and I have not finished it, I would not be positivity.

When one thinks of strengths, many think of it as the physical aspect but the reality is that strengths consist of both physical and personality aspects. “A strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific activity. The key to building a strength is to identify your dominant talents, then complement them by

My top five strengths are Includer, Strategic, Achiever, Responsibility, and finally Positivity. My strengths are being responsible since when I was a little girl. By always doing my homework and bring on time to everywhere. Responsibility is very important to be able to have a job or to have good grades.My mother has taught me to always be on time to a place or to in event. That responsibility is the main success to life and achieve all the goals and dreams. My weakness are being shy and that affects sometimes includer because I’m afraid to be refuse by someone when I ask them to join. I also start blushing a lot when I speak to big crowd of people or have to go to the front and present a project or something. This has been my biggest weakness since when I was young my hands will start sweating. The opportunities that I have now by taking this class was by knowing more the people. How to treat them and become a better leader for the world and for the society out there that they judge a lot and that get mad easily. The threats that I have to face in the future are knowing how to be the best leader I can possibly be. Sometimes not everyone will like me and that will be hard and tough on life but I have to face them and work it out.
