Abstract
Understanding your own personality, values, and skills is an important step in evaluating work place behavior. Through my own personal experience and research I am able to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the personality type, extravert, intuitive, thinking and judging (ENTJ), NT temperament and the impact my type has on my life as a manager. Using the Pearson Self-Assessment Online Library, I discovered I am pretty even across the board when it comes to leadership, and organizational change. However, when it comes to communication there are a lot of low points that could use improvement. The self-assessment tool is a tool used to help students understand their individual personalities. Finally, knowing your own personality …show more content…
I have learned there are so many diverse types of personalities within an organization as well as different ways to run a company or organization. One of the most important things I have learned is there is truly no right way to do things but, as a leader, supervisor or employee you are always learning different ways to better yourself. In the military they teach you their ways to lead and about organization behavior however, outside the military everyone has their way of doing things. I have always paid attention to the different types of personalities in an organization and how each person can affect the organization. I never realized how much it takes to be able to identify the different types of personalities. After reviewing the assessments, I can see that there is a need for a positive organizational culture as well as an ethical organizational culture. Knowing what types of personalities I supervise helps be decide build of their strengths, and more recognition and rewards than punishment. Robbins (2007) describe what a manager can do to create a more ethical culture, “be a visible role model, communicate ethical expectations, provide ethical training, visibly reward ethical acts and punish unethical ones, and provide protective mechanisms.” (Robbins, 2007, p. 567) Finally, these assessment has taught me to slow down mentally and look at different …show more content…
Furthermore, I realized why I respond to certain things and how I respond can be hurtful to the organization and the people I supervise. For example, when I pass on information about a certain case or case law, one of my officers ask questions in a manner that seems to question my knowledge. I have learned what type of personality this officer is and why he seems to have a negative attitude. Instead of getting upset or mad at him, I take a moment to listen to his questions and then ask him a question in return. Many of the assessments brought to my attention different points of leadership and communication in which I need to work on to be a successful manger. My communication have improved since starting this class. When I first started this class, I had an officer that was performing below standards and I had to communicate with him ways to improve his performance. The way I communicated to him was one sided and did not help him establish ways to get better. After a few weeks, I asked him what he thinks would help him improve his job performance and realized that he had some very good suggestions. I realized there is a lot of work that goes into being a great leader. Furthermore, I have learn to be a great leader you truly have to become a servant to others. Mark 10:43-44 (New Living
