- Compulsive
- Strong follow-through
- Articulate
- Writes well
- Balanced work-life perspective
- Multi-interested (e.g., work, recreational activities [e.g., curling, golf, etc.])
- Ambitious
Weaknesses
- Strong need to “get things done and off my list” with consequence of getting it done right away, thereby undermining the benefits of more careful deliberation over time
- Compulsiveness sometimes causes me to begrudge being given tasks, i.e., stress of many tasks and need to do each carefully can lead me to think unkindly about the people and/or circumstance creating the task
- Can be impatient, i.e., not tolerate those who do not understand (“suffer fools poorly”)
- Time pressure causes stress and can lead to emotional “hijacking”
- Do not handle multiple immediately competing demands well
Opportunities
- To engage others in providing feedback about their experience of me
- To receive coaching in service of improving my leadership skills
- To learn from others in similar roles to mine
- To enhance my ability to manage the need to complete task quickly in order to be able to deliberate more carefully
- To enhance my equanimity about work-related tasks
Threats
- Time pressure, which can derail my plan for self-improvement because it catapults me back to my “usual” habits
- The multitude of everyday demands, which conspires against self-reflection
- Etc.
