How would you respond to the post below?
When it comes to describing myself, I have a hard time doing this. I don't think anybody in life wants to admit they have flaws or weaknesses when truthfully, we all have something to work on. According to Llopis, most companies aren't moving in a forward direction because we are afraid to admit we are wrong (Llopis, 2015). The first step to help is to realize that you have a problem; this is typically the opening sentence for people who have drug or alcohol additions. The problem is that we have become insensitive to these problems and see no wrong in leadership programs. When examing myself, I rated myself high in several categories; being articulate, self-confident, friendly, and diligent. If I had to choose one out of these five that I ranked highly in, I would think being articulate would rank number one. Over the years of being in management, I have taught myself that being able to communicate is critical. When I first went into management, I was 22 years old and was faced with people who were old enough to be my grandparents. Also, I was raised to respect my elders while also learning how to put a person in their place when need be. Being able to communicate with people allows me to work with a variety style of people. This is the point that upper management sometimes misses, being able to effectively communicate with people that are not on your level, according to Tardanico (2012). Some golden rules that I have learned when communicating with a group or team; are not to over-communicate, where too much information is given and it leads to questions that I am not able to answer, not sharing premature information, following up on questions, and reading memos without adding or taking away information. Where I ranked myself the weakest was outgoing. Keeping in mind that I am thinking of my current position at work, I work with a group of people that are always looking for ways to stir up chaos. Therefore, over the past year, I have learned to respond to problems, keep information to a minimum, and don't give them any reason to speculate anything. In chapter one of the text, it mentions that we will not focus on the followers (Northhouse, 2018), but I have to admit that the followers are the ones that made me become like this. As an associate pastor, I don't have the option of not being outgoing.
