The importance of strategically managing your career is the essence of understanding who you are, how you work and learn and where you need improvements or changes. Attempting to plan a career, set goals, accomplish goals, evaluate progress and create new goals based on your findings is the core to having an enriching and fulfilling work life balance. If you do not understand all of these things, then you are just going through the motions of a daily grind and will most likely be unhappy with your

After receiving a score of ENTJ, it was very apparent that I like to solve problems with insightful logic and creativity while also generating new ideas. It was not a shocker that I am an extravert, but I also learned extraverts are often considered strong leaders, feel comfortable working groups and like working with people with the same level of dedication. As many personality tests do, I think the desire to work as a leader definitely aligns with my preferences and supports my career goals. The learning style inventory showed I have an accommodating style which looks for concrete evidence through hands on experiences. This is definitely reflected in my ability to complete a training program at work, apply what I have learned on the job, find practices and protocols that provide solid results and then return those findings to the training classroom where I can complete the learning circle and educate new …show more content…
Having the ability to do things others either do not want to or can not do, think about solutions, share common practices and push the limit of our companies expectations gives me great pride. There have been instances in the past when my ideas are not used, or simply can not be accomplished, that have been deflating. By continuing to come up with new and fresh ideas, I can let go of ideas or processes that are not implemented and take rejection much less personal.

    Every personality type is different in a work environment. ENFPs, like myself are the “inspirers” according to Psychology Junkie. We are very outgoing, gregarious, hedonistic when being motivated by our desires, and we have a certain panache when it comes to connecting with people. The authors of Type Talk, Otto Kroeger and Janet Thueson state that extroverts “think out loud; they clarify their ideas by sharing them with others, refining them as they speak”.…

    Personal leadership / management style analysis During my first few weeks in the field experience course, I have noticed the complexity of leadership and management that is involved in the work field. Both, a leader and a manager are very important people in an organization. According to Collins (2001), managers and leaders “exist in different forms, roles and responsibilities”; as a result, Five Level Hierarchy exists, where level one has highly capable individuals, two is contributing team member, three is competent manager, four is an effective leader, and finally five is an executive. A great leader must be an effective communicator in order to lead a group of people in order to accomplish a goal or vision.…

    In middle school, I found myself to be more quiet, shy, and less outspoken than my peers. I joined all the same clubs and had the same interests as my peers, such as student council and National Junior Honors Society, but my introverted personality kept me from exploring new leadership roles. As I finished middle school and began my high school career, I brought my introverted personality with me. As first semester progressed, I joined clubs in school that encouraged an open mind and voice, specifically Key Club International, the world's largest, student-led, community service organization. In Key Club, I met students with open minds and strong leadership qualities.…

    Individuals and their personalities play a very key role in organizational behavior. In order for an organization to function at the highest level of productivity, managers must focus on empowering individuals in order to strengthen the group rather than enforcing autocratic leadership to force the individuals to serve the needs of the group. Managers themselves also need to know their own strengths and weaknesses based on their personality types as well as common strengths and weakness for personality types present in their employees. For instance, a people with an Introversion-iNuition-Feeling-Perception (INFP) personality type might be best motivated for the purpose of serving the well-being of others; however, these same INFP personality…
