    This week’s objectives was to get to know more of the term of personality and characteristics in the

workplace. This is information that it always helpful especially for those of use who strive to be active

leaders in our place of work.  It is important to know how we will be in a leadership role. One must be

sure of the tasks that he or she is about to take on. But a person cannot be Ann effective leader if they are

not sure if they carry the personality and characteristic to be an effective leader. Leadership is not for

everyone, and it takes the strong personality to lead in the workplace.

about others, how easily you are bothered and so on. This was a personality test and see where you have

strengths and weaknesses. My results did not surprise me; I scored with a high personality all across the

workplace I had doubts about being a leader. But I was thanks to my mentor who gave me a chance to

lead. I was very skeptical at first, and it was a very quick change for me. But I followed my instincts and

guided the rest of the crew to carry their duties so we can all have a steady pace of work. One thing that I

know I have gotten much better at is getting my emotional stability under control.  Emotions were one of

my biggest factor that I had an issue with when I first started as a manager. I took to heart with anything

that was said to be, especially when there was a conflict with an employee or client. But in time you learn

that for your sake you have to get to brush things off because you will become a hundred more times

more stressed if you take to heart every single thing that people say to you. Emotions can also cloud your

judgment and can make you take rash choices. A good leader always things with a clear mind and any
