My Personal Strengths and Weaknesses

I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses. One of my greatest strengths at work that I have recognized would have to be my ability to be a well–organized individual. I tend to write what I have to do down on paper and prioritize what is more important to least important. In doing this, it helps me organize and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that...show more content...

One of my weaknesses at home is time management. This is a weakness that I have had to struggle with since my daughter was born. It is hard for me to try to juggle being a full time single parent, working a full time job and attending school full time. I always feel that there is never enough time to accomplish my tasks whether it is household chores, work related or assignments for school. Most importantly I have to make sure that I am readily available for my child at all times. In a Learning team, presentation skills are very important. I would have to say that Presentation Skills would be one of my personal weaknesses in the Learning team. It is difficult for me at times to stand up in front of a room full of people and present a project or conduct some sort of meeting. In order to do so, you have to have confidence that what you're talking about is accurate and the motivation to actually get up do it. My biggest fear of a presentation would be tripping and falling on my face or saying things that the audience can not understand. I recognize all of my strengths and weaknesses and I do acknowledge the fact that my personal weaknesses need improvement in all areas of my personal and professional environment.

Identifying your personal strengths and weaknesses will allow you to learn in most types of situations whether it be your career or personal life. Making an effort to improve your weaknesses, will make you more aware and give

Personal Strengths and Weaknesses

What are my personal strengths and weaknesses? When I think about this question, the first thing that comes to mind is a job interview. I, like most people, find this simple question to be the most stressful moment of any interview. I want to give an answer that is imaginative but does not give the interviewer a bad impression of myself. In this paper, I will describe my strengths and weaknesses as I would to a job interviewer. I will give specific examples of my strengths and place a positive spin on my weaknesses.

When deciding which strengths you want describe to an interviewer, you should make a list, choose three to five of those strengths that match the job posting, and give specific examples of...show more content...

The best way to handle describing your weaknesses to a job interviewer is to minimize the possible negative of the weakness and emphasize the positive. One way of doing this is to select a trait and come up with a solution to overcome your weakness (Martin, 2005). My personal weaknesses are that I tend to be a detail–oriented person, that I do not have confidence in my grammar skills, and that my interpersonal skills are not as refined as I would like them to be.

When working on any project, I am a detail–oriented person who can get hung up on the specific particulars of the project. This also goes back to my time in the Air Force when I was instilled with a duty to pay close attention to detail. The big picture was something that someone else took care of. Unfortunately, this trait followed me into the civilian sector and causes me to have a hard time seeing how the different parts of a project fit together to form the big picture. To counterbalance this, I always make it a point to have someone on my team who can see how everything fits together to make the big picture I do this so that the team will succeed in their current project. I also do this so that I can learn from that teammate how to see the big picture so that I can improve myself.

Also, I have never been confident with my grammar skills throughout my life. Some of the most frustrating moments in both my

Personal strengths and weaknesses determine how an individual will perform in their careers and lives. Clifton and Nelson (2010), defines strengths as "things that one does well" (p. 42). Strengths are traits of a person's performance or views that result in personal gratification and reward. Effective leaders should strive to develop their personal strengths. Strengths can be drawn from things that an individual currently excels at or those from the past. Weaknesses on the other hand, are things that result in lessened productivity. Good leaders are able to identify both strengths and weaknesses and utilize them to become more effective at their profession (Clifton & Nelson, 2010). According Hodges and Clifton (2004) "it's best to focus...show more content...

Ideally, leaders should identify their greatest strength and pursue it to the best of their ability (Clifton & Nelson, 2010). According to Jack Zenger (2009), "there is a strong logic to the argument about working on strengths, because there are compelling data that clearly shows that effective leadership is directly correlated with the strengths a person possesses" (p. 14). Therefore, once a strength has been identified, all effort should be placed on prefect it.

Practicing Strengths People have the ability to grow and build their strengths. In the article Making Strengths–Based Development Work, the authors stated that "a strength–based employee development can lead to an engaged and productive workforce" (Asplund & Blacksmith, 2011). By constantly working to improve on a strength, employees can set themselves apart from other employees who performance is mediocre. The old adage that "practice makes perfect" can only ring true if a person works on an existing strength rather than a general weakness. Understanding and Limiting Weakness Every leader has a weakness. In order for a leader to better themselves, they must manage their weaknesses. Weakness limits one's ability to perform at their peak. Once a weakness is identified, the traditional mindset results in the individual trying to eliminate this weakness. Rather than
