Leadership and Me

Leadership and Me
In my years of existence I have come to realize that in most aspects, I am a Leader/Teacher and not so much as a Manager. I am not really good at just telling people what to do. I like to do it myself and teach others how to do it whenever I can. I like to lead. I like to help others identify their positive qualities because I believe that people who feel good about themselves, will be better team members. I don’t like to dote. I like to motivate.



I have always believed in living life without worries. I am practical and proactive. Making tomorrow worry about itself and doing everything I can do today. “Hakuna Matata” as what they say. I am the kind of person that goes with the flow. I make do with everything out of what I have at the moment and believe in the power of positive thinking. I am a “Glass Half-full” type of person. I’d like to think that honing my ability to respond makes me a better person. But saying this does not mean I am not realistic. I can be urgent when the need arises and I find myself to be quite the perfectionist. Sometimes, too perfectionist that It will take so much of my time than expected. When I want something done, I do it myself as much as possible whenever or however I can. I can be professional when I want to and have to. But as much as possible I’d like to have a balance of everything as to be practical. Also, in most cases, I like to be very organized. I like to know where to find things and where to put them back.



I’d like to say that I am sociable. I am naturally friendly which makes meeting people easy for me. I am proud to say that I have a lot of circle of friends. Having them makes me adaptable and flexible. I would say that I am sincere, loyal, honest and trustworthy especially when I am with friends and people I love and keep close to heart. I have a really good sense of humor. I’d like to joke around but as much as possible I don’t like to be the clown. I like telling jokes, not be the joke. I don’t easily angry and don’t show it to people when I am. In most cases, I just keep it to myself. I am not immediately verbal about my distresses and discomforts or should I say miseries. As much as possible, I stay clear of conflicts and discords and I stay away from people who put me down and put others down. They make me feel bad mostly not for myself but for them. I pity people who bully or make fun of others and hate them at the same time.



In another aspect, I would not say that I am religious. I would say I am spiritual. Growing up, I have come to respect God and be close to Him which makes me the person that I am now. I give a lot of weight on morals and to what I believe is right and what is right in the eyes of God than in the eyes of the people.

Perhaps these are most of how I consciously describe and know myself. This may not be all of it but this is honest.
