5. Your motivations and motivated capabilities:
a. What are your extrinsic motivations?
The need to provide a stable, healthy, and awesome environment for my family by providing a lifestyle that demonstrates our position and education levels in life. Aka keeping up with the Jones
b. What are your intrinsic motivations?
The need to provide my best effort as I will be judged and I want to measure up and succeed in as many of life’s endeavors that I can. Internal drive to not be embarrassed. A natural curiosity to want to understand why things are and what variables cause it to be so.
c. Make a list in rank order of your overall motivations.
The need to measure up, the need to provide for my family, the need to know, the desire to win.

7. Building relationships:
a. Who are the most important people in your life?
My wife, Tiffany and my kids Florentina and Donovan are the most important people in my life.
b. Who do you feel you can be completely open with?
The only person I’m completely open with is my wife, but even then I may be guarded and hesitant at first.
c. When you are distressed, who do you turn to?
Most of the time I don’t look to anyone, as I’m ashamed that I can’t handle it or I don’t want to be a bundle to others. But in times that I can’t be self-reliant I turn to my parents, my wife, or a few friends that may have more experience or wisdom in regards to the situation.
d. Who are your mentors?
At the moment I have no local mentors. I’ve have signed up for a mentor via the Air Force mentoring program, but I have not been matched yet. Unfortunately in the organization I work for the only guidance and feedback I receive is from my employees. While this is very beneficial and will be helpful in the long run at the moment it lacks the independence and honesty that is required to look at situations clearly without …show more content…
If i have a modest amount of time, but lack clear direction I will revert to a more democratic style. When my branch lost its funding for 25 of the 30 people, I worked with other Branch Managers and my employees to mutually brainstorm solutions and goals. This is reaction that I’m proud of and do not work to avoid it. On the other hand when the deadline is looming and all hope of finishing on time seems doubtful I will like most revert to the classic coercive style of leadership. I will flatly tell people exactly what to do and control every aspect of the project. Often i will push away slower performers or individuals that ask too many questions or need to much attention. Instead I will resort to doing things myself so it is done right. The easiest way to prevent this is to not let the situation get so dire. The other is to take a deep breath and realize that long standing relationships can be damaged quickly for little benefit or reason. Promote a positive attitude and attempt to complete a miracle at the eleventh hour
