After reading through my results for my strengths I can say that I am not shocked about most, however really shocked about a couple. I am very responsible when it comes to my job, no matter what it is, almost to a fault. I have trouble delegating because I like to make sure that the job I have delegated is done well. Because of my nature to get the job done without supervision and to get the job done right I am tasked with a lot of different jobs. This like the assessment stated has me overwhelmed, because I do not like to let anyone down and I feel if my boss has asked me to do it then they have trusted me to do because they know that there will be a good outcome and they do not have to ask if was actually done. This trait in my future career could be a great one or a problem, depending on what I believe, to be who I am on a team with. Communication is the trait that I am really confident about. I think with all the years I have had working with people who sit in my dental chair, knowing who they are, gauging moods, knowing what to say when and when to say what will take me where I need to go. I have learned to not only talk but to listen and to read people on what their needs and wants are. The one strength that I am not 100% agreeable on is the harmony one, now do not get me wrong I do not pick fights or try to start them, but I do not shy down from a conflict if I feel that things need to be said.( of course in the nicest kindest way possible). I do like everyone to be nice to each other and I try to find ways for others to see each others view points. So, I guess I see some of what it says but some of it I just do not agree with.
Answering in all honesty I do not know how I feel about my strengths, I use to feel empowered by how responsible I was and that I was asked to do so many things, and the fact that I am a great communicator but now that I am reflecting on myself, I feel that it gets me used. It could be because of the lack of leadership out boss shows, and the fact that she just knows that I will do it. But honestly no one is held accountable because Carol will do it so it is not that big of deal. Also, because I voice my thoughts and opinions and ask for things to change then I am seen as being rude. So for me I really hope that my next career will be better and I will feel less taken advantage of and more appreciated so that way my other strength like developer can be utilized.
