Calgon! ancient Chinese Secret
1)
Here is my list of what I believe makes me
unique. First, I am very
approachable. In my experience people
find it very easy to speak with me. Second, I operate with discernment that
either most people don’t have, or just chose to ignore. That is, I find it easy to get people to open
to me in conversation and help discover the root of a problem. Third, I am very knowledgeable. I like to learn not only the way to do
something right, but also the reason we do something a certain way. My least favorite answer is “because we have
always done it this way.” Fourth, I
like to lead from the front, not push from behind. To often I see people in leadership positions
that only give orders. In other words, I
don’t ask someone to do something I would not do myself. Fifth,
I am very goal oriented. I let to set a
goal and complete tasks to achieve the goal.

person interviewed.

For my first characteristic I said that I was
approachable, which is close in comparison to having a good personality. Next, I said that I portrayed a skill of
discernment which is along the same lines as decision making with a situational
view. The third trait I listed was my
knowledge. I am not sure if it matches
with any of the interviewee observations.
My fourth trait was leading from the front. Which is close to situational leadership
style that can overcome shortcomings.
Lastly, I said that I was goal oriented, which shows up in several of
the interviews. I agree with the
feedback I received, and I would not change anything from my previous list.

I think most would call that "leading by example," hahaha. You have very good human capital, and it shows in what those who know you best say about you. I could be wrong, but I associate the "discernment" quality you mention with being committed to the truth, although with added intuition. I hope to add more intuition and wisdom to my blunt and truthful qualities as I age and have more life experience in general. Thanks for letting us get to know you! -April
ReplyDeleteHey Dan. The first thing that caught my attention (not only because it was written first) was that you are approachable. I think that is something important that not a lot of people pay attention about themselves. Also, I like the way you learn not just to know but to understand the process. Overall great post and thanks for sharing.
