Sometimes I need to slow down and observe situations and my surroundings. Because it can become very stressful.

It can bring down the quality of the company. Conflict potential runs into play when you have too many opinions from teammates it creates a problem within in decision making (III, Small Business Powered by StudioD,

I have found that self-assessments tend to be somewhat unreliable because people tend to be too hard or too easy on themselves. With this is mind, I tried to really take an honest look at my strengths and weakness when filling out the Seven Habits Profile. I consider myself to be the quintessential “People Person” and I did see that reflected in my results.
According to the results of the Seven Habits Profile, I scored “very good” on the following categories: Be Proactive, Begin with the end in Mind, and Synergize. I scored just above “Good” on the following categories: Emotional Bank Account, Life Balance, Thin Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Sharpen the Saw, and Put First Things First.

For example, I want to advance in my career within the hospital setting but have been slow in completing tasks for my higher level degrees. Knowing what my long term goals are is one of the qualities I have that make me an authentic leader. Also, my desire to work with others is high.
