In New Start I discovered more about myself, like certain traits that I did not know I even possessed. I learned that one of my strengths I possess is developing actions plan, and setting goals. When it comes to making a plan of action or setting a goal, I make sure it is concise, that I can measure the progress in some way until I obtain it within a certain realistic time limit. I understand my own personal limitations, I also have a deep understanding on what values that I am willing to give up and know how to work according with and around certain limits and beliefs, which makes the goals realistic and attainable without going against certain beliefs.
Although, goal setting and creating an action plan is one of my strength, I have acute weakness to setting a team or group goal. I am a very my- paced kind of person, so if someone comes and copies or speeds up my pace even just a little it screws me up completely that I end up not doing any work. Plus, I get more distracted very easily if I am with two or more people, due to them being a different individual than myself so i end up wanting to know what music they listen to and just talk to them. So I end up bringing not only myself but others down with me, which threatens team building and rises any unnecessary conflicts.

In the third week of New Start on Thursday we had a reading called “Twelve Ways to build an Effective Team” on the first page of the text it stated that a successful team is one that works together coopperately towards a common goal. So I believe that if I have consistent practice of this concept by joining a sorioety that empathize unity and working
I believe that everyone has their own strength and weaknesses, but not everyone is able to figure out their strengths and weaknesses correctly. Knowing our own strengths and weaknesses is essential because it can help to achieve success in anything we choose to do. For me, my weakness is the time management, communication skills and weak in preparing effective Curriculum Vitae (CV) Below will be further explaining all my personal weaknesses and the ways to overcome it.
In this Discussion Board post I will describe my interpretation and give examples of the various stages that an efficient team should experience as they are working together to achieve a goal. Second, I will briefly compare the qualities of a group versus a team. Third, I will go over the various roles that each of the members in a team may play, and I will explain which of these roles may be the easiest for me based on my character strengths and which ones may be the hardest for me based on my character weaknesses. Fourth, I will discuss why I think it is important to learn and fully understand how to work in a group. Lets begin with the various stages a group will find themselves in when becoming a team.
Everybody has weaknesses, and no one can deny that. Some people are jealous, some have bad habits they need to break, and some are over-nice (but in the bad way). Mine happens to be the third one in that list. In multiple situations, I have been too nice to the point where it hurts me and makes me miserable. Where this weakness is the worst is definitely in relationships: both romantic and friendships. My personal weakness of being too nice isolates me from being happy for myself in the same way as Hester’s sin isolated her from the Puritan community in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Teamwork is a great way to achieve your goals but it also minor flaws, and to make your team successful you have to learn how to work together to succeed.
Paul declares in 1st Corinthians that to each of God’s children a spiritual gift has been given. Over the years of my walk with the Lord I have concluded that I possess the noticeable gift of speaking in tongues and perhaps the gift of discerning spirits. As we have been learning about our proclivities towards certain strengths, I have been thinking about different ways mine are useful in and for the Church. Analytical is in my top 5 and it greatly assists my ability to learn and discern during the teaching of the Word. As Gallup puts it on their website, I have a “prove it” mentality. Therefore, habitually, I scrutinize everything the speaker says and cross-reference it against my bank of theological knowledge. However, I realize that I
My five greatest strengths are: includer, restorative, belief, positivity, and empathy according to the Strengths Finder Survey. I have basically just been myself. I really enjoy making everyone feel that they are special, all God 's children are special. We are all God 's children and we all need to love and support each other. No one is any better than the other, but we can make good choices in life. But we are all the same, with the same choices. If we see someone going through something , as Christians we are suppose to through it with them. Learn to listen, pray and try to give them the best advice that we have to offer. When we are going through something, we must say and believe,but God. He is our strength and refuge. We must always try to look for the good in people. Avoid the negative thoughts. We can change and so can others. When i see people, I can sometimes, see the pain in their faces.I feel the sadness and just want to help. In any way possible. Life is short. We need help anyone around us.to see their
My five strengths in order are adaptability, futuristic, context, restorative, and maximizer. Adaptability are people who take one day at a time, and focus on the now and not the future. Futuristic people focus on the future and impact others with their thoughts of the future. Context people focus on the past and enjoy doing so. They also spend a lot of time learning about the history of the past to understand current events. Restorative people are ones who are good at figuring out a problem and then solving it. Maximizer people are ones whom focus on their strengths and others to make the group as a whole better.
Each person has areas that they excel in. These areas are different for every person, and they are what make us unique. According to my Strengths Finder survey, my strengths are as follows: responsibility, harmony, maximizer, achiever, and discipline (Gallup, 2012). I feel that I utilize these strengths on a daily basis.
It plays a much stronger role if you know what your ultimate goal is going to be. And that
Identifying my strengths has never came easy to me. I can quickly state my flaws, but speaking about what I can contribute has always been a challenge. Taking the strengths assessment was an eye opener because by results described me perfectly. Discovering my strengths will help me in my future practice as a student affairs professional and my current position as the Student Development Specialist of a college preparatory program for high school students.
I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.
I ended up contacting 3 of my family members, and I told them to be brutality honest with me. I also told them whatever they said to me would not hurt my feelings. The four people I contacted where my brother, mom and dad. My dad said that my strengths where that I’m independent and I like to work on my own, that I was very determined to be successful, and that I am very driven to be the best at everything. She said my weaknesses where time management since I sometimes put off homework till last minute, that processes where hard for me to follow because I like to do things my way, he also said that I am very needy for approval after I have completed something. My mom said that I am a hard worker and feel the need to compete tasks fast, that I am a very loyal friend, and I am very determined to succeed in life. She said for my weaknesses that I can sometimes be selfish when it comes to work because I care about me succeeding more then others, she also said that me being a loyal friend is also a weakness because I care about them as much as I care about myself, and finally she said that I can sometimes get distracted easily. According to my brother my strengths are that I am very studious when it comes to school and work, also that I am very determined in life,
Even the best writers have their own flaws. Shakespire for example would make up his own words including ; bedazzled and fashionable. Those words come from his plays King of the Shrew and Troilus and Cressida. I like to think of myself as a skilled writer but I’d like to improve in writing proper conclusions and repetition of certain words.
There isn’t much that is needed to gain success as a team. As long as everyone is on the same page, and focuses towards wanting the same end result, it is very easy to gain success. Some of these features include: Shared Goals, Productivity, Understanding the different roles, Good communication, Personal growth and recognition, Team spirit and mutual respect and Staying open to ‘outsiders’. When all, if not most, of these features taken into account, it makes it very easy to gain a successful team as well as gain a successful outcome. Below I have listed each feature with what they mean.
I am an ISTJ with unique personality strengths and weaknesses. My strengthens are being hardworking, productive, efficient, and driven (Kroeger, Thuesen, & Rutledge, 2002, p. 306). In opposition, being compulsive, inexpressive, and driven by routines are my weaknesses (Kroeger et al, 2002, pp. 308-309). The Prentice Hall Self-Assessment increased awareness of more personality strengths and weaknesses for my consideration.
