Honestly, I'm very interested in this topic. I have been taught that I have to improve my weaknesses, but I have never figured out that I also have to focus on my strengths. For example, in my Interview Assignment, I was always talking about how I can be like him and what characteristics I can change. By doing so, I can be an affective leader. Do you think it is right or wrong? Think about it a moment and answer why before you read the next paragraph?
......
- Did you answer right or wrong?
......
- Why did you choose to answer right/wrong?
......
Now is the time for my answer:
I would answer it is both right and wrong. It is great to know his strong characteristics which make him become an awesome leader. That's right to follow and try to improve. Why not? Trying doesn't hurt anything. I also think it is wrong when I apply his leader characteristics in my leadership role before I use all of my strengths. I think I should improve and expand my strength first. Then, I can improve any of weaknesses which can affect my life.
I believe I can affect people around me by my own way and by my own strengths. Because I learned from the class lecture on Monday: If I can focus on my strengths, my weaknesses will get better
I wrote down my strengths: work hard, planning, consult, and patient. I have been thinking about what can I do to apply these to my leader ship role. And yay! I found a way: I wrote down all mistakes in the last VSA party. I asked some random people who were there in the party about what they like and don't like. Then, I found the solutions for each mistakes and way to improve good stuffs in VSA party. I know I couldn't apply all of my strengths yet, but I will!!
great hoa! you have such a great attitude and im so glad to hear that you are using your strengths!
