External Analysis
Moving on to external analysis, I asked my friends and family through calls and a google form as to what they thought were my greatest strengths and weaknesses. The answers were as follows.
Strengths
According to my friends and family my greatest strength was being a good leader as I had what it takes to call the shots and not back down from anything. A few also said that sometimes I took massive challenges head on but always managed to find an answer to them and deliver effective results. Some of the words used were confident and dedicated, which I won’t disagree with. One of my favorite responses and least expected responses was from my closest friend who’s known me the longest. He described me as a wolf, someone who got the job done and was ruthless and cunning while doing so.
Weaknesses
The weaknesses they described were right in the ballpark of what I had expected. A lot of them told me that I was bad with managing time and sometimes my expectations were too high. I was also described as stubborn and hot headed. My father responded to this question by saying that I was the least organized person he had ever met and was surprised how I was ever able to lead. I quickly took the defensive and asked him what he meant and to this he replied, “I have no doubts in your leadership capabilities but am still confused as to how you manage stuff while always being in shambles with deadline.”
