Of the five leadership categories, I rated myself the lowest in the
"inspire a shared vision" category. I rarely speak of long-term future
at my job and when I do, it is typically in a negative way. Therefore, I
determined that the goal I could focus on is starting to speak
positively about the future. I identified self-awareness and self-
motivation, two emotional intelligence skills, as behaviors to work
towards developing or utilizing. Self-awareness requires inward
reflection to identify emotions. Self-motivation will be critical to
remaining committed to achieving success.
Self-awareness will be necessary for company leadership as well in
an effort to improve employee satisfaction survey scores. Specifically
questions regarding fairness, such as "provides leadership who act in
just and ethical ways," will require a level of self-awareness.
Company leadership will need to re-evaluate their behaviors and
notice what actions could imply injustice.
