leadership reflection

2-4 Final Project Milestone 1: Personality and Self-Concept

Since the beginning of this course, I have had the opportunity to participate in several

different self-assessments that classified and identified my personality type, productivity, the

locus of control, and burnout levels. Following the completion of these assessments, I was able

to validate some of my strengths as well as weaknesses.

My Jungian Personality type is Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging (ENFJ).

Beginning to understand my personality type allowed me to identify the kind of leadership skills,

I want to develop. Some of my strengths include self-awareness, reliability, and diligence. Self-

awareness has been essential throughout my daily life. Being self-aware allows me to reflect all

aspects of a situation and process it. Self-awareness in a workforce can be extremely beneficial

because it enables you to ask questions and find the best strategy. A point that adds to my

abilities as a leader is being reliable, I continuously want to be a person my peers can count on.

Trust with people is absolute to be a successful leader. Diligence is a necessity in leadership as it

shows persistence and hard work, which may motivate my peers to do work efficiently.

However, an area that needs improvement includes being gentle in my expectations of

others. Now and again, I fail to grasp that people around me may not comprehend the subject

matter, which can affect my leadership aspirations. I am working on developing a new mindset

due to the unfairness my expectations lead to. Leaders should be attentive especially about when

it involves their team's capabilities. I should let my team absorb the information they are able to

and eventually allow them to work their way up.

In conclusion, I am a reliable source and also self-aware, which allows others to gain

trust quickly. Nevertheless, I still struggle with the expectations I have for others, which I must

improve since it will allow them to show their capabilities as well as potential. With this

newfound perception, I will be able to reach my full competency. This will then alter my team's

views and enable them to become more motivated and improve their performance.
