Personality & Self- Concept

Effective leaders will always identify weakness and ensure that they turn into strengths. At a personal level, the following analysis defines my personality and areas of improvement. I believe learning is continuous, many of my conclusions are not based on rational thoughts as I only apply intuition to make the decisions, but always in a humble way. I always seek to meet people from all walks of life, without disregarding anyone as I hold the belief that everyone is equal and we ought to be given a platform to express ourselves. I am also optimistic coupled with the belief that detailed analysis and positive attitude will lead to better results. I aspire to change people’s lives in all aspects, not because I have all the solution through leadership, but in the application of humble consultations. I have a meticulous attention to detail, whilst observing scenarios while making effective solutions.

On the other side, I also have a number of weaknesses which am looking to change. Firstly, I am impulsive and demanding especially on the performance of new employees. To counter this, I have reduced the number of interactions with the new employees and as I have directed the pressure to supervisors who will, in turn, push the junior staff. Supervisors will usually have a leadership background and might understand my idea of being impulsive and demanding. On performance, I can be desperate to the extent that I forget body exercise needs. I can sit in the office for the entire day without moving if that’s the only way to go past a work challenge. As I look to reduce the weaknesses, I have made deliberate attempts to empower other people to give advice basing on experience in similar positions.
