My Greatest Weaknesses: President Of The American Red Cross Club
My greatest weakness is that I strongly dislike confrontation. In the past, at certain times I have found myself compromising on what I desired or needed, just to keep everyone happy and peaceful. This was a real problem, especially when I was supposed to be the leader of a group. For example, as President of the American Red Cross Club at my school, there were times I needed to tell people things they might not necessarily want to hear. Since then I’ve worked hard to overcome this weakness. Now, instead of avoiding these kinds of situations, I try to be more assertive without coming across as difficult. I take the time to carefully weigh each side of the situation and make sure that my comments or criticisms are constructive and logical. Now,

    When I look at myself as a writer, I see that I have my own strengths can also be weaknesses. One of my strengths I feel that I have as a writer is that I am very critical of my work. I review multiple copies of my writing. This tends to help when I am critiquing the overall voice and direction of my paper. A weakness of mine that is worth when it comes to my writing is the fact that I do not always understand or accept what others say about my writing. What I mean…

    Keirsey Temperament Strengths

    To combat my weaknesses, I need to begin focusing more on myself and less on work related issues, especially after hours. Walk away from people or circumstances that would aggravate my impulsive behavior. Often these situations will still be waiting after I have had time to think and calmed down. Take a deep breath and discuss the problem with a friend before yelling at someone out of anger. I need to practice calming strategies, such as muscle relaxation, yoga, and cardiovascular exercise. When confronted with a difficult decision I need to begin by writing a list of pros and cons before proceeding. When confronting someone I need to make a mental outline of what I want to say before saying…

    A challenge for me is my more reserved demeanor. Although I provide input to others when asked, I often hesitate to express my opinion first. With awareness of this I push myself to be more assertive, take initiative and not question myself internally. On a daily basis in the field of child protection I am challenged with a multitude of situations that I must prioritize in order to move forward; this requires me to stay focused and put the child's safety first in order to determine what is in the best interest of the child.

    My weaknesses are self righteousness and entitlement. I tend to forget that people have free will, and I base my decisions based in my own perspective. This makes my decisions weak because it lacks constructive criticism. I am tempted to base my decisions in what is advantageous instead of what is just. I can also persuade myself that only the consequences of an action make a decision good or bad and I will not bother to take into consideration the process to attain such good. This can result in good actions driven by bad decisions or preventing me from doing a good and efficient job.…

I need to distinguish what is exactly related to the reality; thus, I won’t be easy injured or be a self-center person. I would like to encourage myself to make decisions, try not be as hesitated as always. I should ask myself many times “How can I done this in a better way”? Stepping out of my comfort zone is very essential for me to be a leading person. I don’t like to be a leader because I hate to take responsible for all the consequences. I am afraid that I am not able to take care of the things and ruin them. This is also a kind of unconfident. I should strive for chances to make decisions, guide people and be a leader. If I never try to be a leader, I won’t able to know how far I can do it and how good or how bad I…

    Ethical Issues

    I believe my strengths are the ability to analyze problems by using my reasoning, experiencing, and authority and tradition skills. These skills allow me to determine ways to approach an obstacle or problem and figure out ways to get it completed. By using these skills I am making sure that everyone involved will have the best outcome possible. My weakness I believe is confusion; because I seem to have neutral approach and can see everyone’s point of view and sometimes lose track of my own which prevents me from being able effectively solve the issue at hand. I have to understand that this can hinder me from vital relationship/ networking because most might not see my neutral approach as authentic. My values shows that I make sure that everyone is treated the same and that we all have the best outcome possible. I also know that you have to take each situation/ dilemma separately and know that each outcome can’t and won’t be the same. In order to become productive I understand that sometimes things don’t go as expected and sometimes you have to change/ adjust to each individual situation.…

    How Do You React When Confronted With An Issue

    When confronted with a conflict involving task, I usually employ the avoidance approach or the compromise approach. I give in too easily. Now that I sit and think about it, it could be because of my low self confidence and this under confidence leads me to believe that others would probably know more than me and thus accepting their perspective seems to be the right thing to do. But as has been proven time and again, I am usually not so wrong. Thus, I have started believing in my work and change my approach to handling an issue related to task. I still bend over when I am faced with extremely dominant people but I am working on not being a push over and slowly moving towards using confrontation approach to handle such conflicts.…

    Positives and Negatives

    I am a very cheerful, caring and loving person who never fails to smile everyday. I tend to remain happy most of the time and believe smile is one of the greatest gift given to us. When we give a smile, it might blossom the rest of the day of another person. Moreover, I am an optimistic person who likes to work hard and always believes if we work hard enough, nothing is impossible to achieve. I like to be confident and think of myself as a quick learner. Without confidence, achieving our goals, targets is very difficult. I am a frank, unselfish, team player with the driving power and willingness to learn and face challenges. These are some of the strengths I believe I have in me. Talking about some of my weaknesses, I sometimes get very emotional which affects my day to day life. Also, I feel that I am sensitive to my criticisms. When this happens, I sometimes become short-tempered. My another weakness is that in some cases, I tend to underestimate myself which is one of my biggest weakness I believe so far.…

    The Whole Person Paradigm

    Most people are easy saying things they believed they are good at but failed to accept the things they lacked with, and the worse, afraid to face the weaknesses they had. Second strength that I gained through experience is converting weakness as my strength by means of facing and learning from them. I do now believed that I should revalue attitude sided by skills and not to tend to forget the first. Number one is to add my patience, perseverance and love of work to anything accepted and took an oath to do, my responsibilities and duty. As a teacher, a learner, an educator and as a researcher I can touch lives by setting as an example of my persistence, patience and the willingness to help others.…

    Difficult People

    Knowledge gained about myself is the way I interact with difficult people can be improved for the better. In life and within a organization there will be different types of difficult people (Benfari, 1999, p.208). As an upcoming leader, I have to learn how to keep the conversation neutral when dealing with difficult people. Another insight I gained was the importance of accepting the reality of the characteristics complicated people obtain. When dealing with difficult people, I have realized from experience not to try to change the other person. Trying to change the other individual will only lead to a power struggle, and cause defensiveness, and make things worse. It also makes you a more difficult person to deal with.…
