Your Leadership Profile

From my Gallup StrengthsFinder assessment, the top five strengths are Learner, Focus, Significance, Input, and Relator. This constitutes personal goals embracing continued learning, amiable relationships, and the quest for performance excellence. Great desires compel me to learn, stirred by curiosity and passion for self-improvement. It encourages me to perform well in dynamic conditions where I can learn something new, not for expertise, but for the process itself. My capability for concentration gives me a clear sense of direction, which allows me to set priorities for finishing the work, which means much in my personal and professional everyday life.

Notably, core values that deeply resonate with me are education and connection. As Martin et al. (2021) pointed out, imparting knowledge to others or receiving it back deepens understanding and fosters the development of people working cooperatively. At the same time, I highly value building relationships wherein I can ensure mutual trust and support, as Metz et al. (2022) asserted. Subsequently, two key strengths I seek to enhance include maintaining focus on long-term goals by refining my focus theme and discovering new ways to leverage my knowledge to inspire and uplift others, particularly by expanding on the significance theme. The desire to make an impact, both personally and professionally, is something I am continuously working toward, especially in ways that influence and motivate others positively (Vo et al., 2022).

Furthermore, I aim to strengthen characteristics such as patience with the learning process and managing distractions (Lodge & Harrison, 2019). While I am enthusiastic about learning, there are times when the pressure to achieve results overshadows the enjoyment of the journey. Achieving a better balance between these factors will contribute to a more sustainable path toward personal and professional development.
