What Are My Strengths And Weaknesses

Decent Essays
My five greatest strengths are: trustworthiness, patience, respectfulness, honesty, dedication, and determination. Trustworthiness is one of my greatest strengths that I practice each and everyday because by being a trustworthy person I pursue qualities that nurture, honor, and identify myself as being worthy of the respect of others. I also use my trustworthiness by not abusing other's trust or sharing confidences, by not ignoring deadlines or spreading rumors and by also not lying, cheating, or stealing.

Patience is another strength that I use on a daily basis in my life by not making hasty decisions, as well as it allows me to stay calm and keep myself composed. I feel like having the strength of patience makes me a

It is that of managers that can empower an employee to discover, seek out, and develop their strengths and once they do this the managers can then take the initiative to place them in a position where they can do what they do best every day. "A strength-based organization is built upon three premises which are all individuals are born with talents, strengths are built on talents, and roles must play to strengths." (Franklin,2007 p.1) "To build a strength-based organization, it's important to raise skill levels in recognizing talent. These include rapid learning, satisfaction, and yearnings." (Franklin,2007 p.2) With a strength-based organization, you will potentially have motivated individuals that look forward to coming to work daily. Again there is an abundance of benefits that go along with having a strength-based organization well being and attendance, employee retention, effort and performance, quality, sales performance, income and turnover, profit, customer satisfaction, shareholder return, business growth, and most of all

    The five greatest strengths shown to me by the Strengthsfinder Survey were Consistency, Belief, Responsibility, Developer, and Relator. I chose a life of Civil Service, in the Military and now as a Police Officer. Having Consistency and Responsibility I believe fit right into this life choice and in my opinion if you don't have Belief in what you're doing you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. I utilize Consistency on a daily basis as a Police Officer. I wholeheartedly believe each individual has the right to be treated fairly and on equal ground to anyone else regardless of social, economic or criminal justice standings.…

    A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

    Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am. Learning is listed as my top strength in the survey (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I believe I have used that trait extensively throughout…
