My Personality, Leadership Style - 951 Words

In this reflection paper I will be reflecting on my personality, leadership style, how everything in my life has defined who I am and also the types of management or leadership that has influenced me. For the first part of this paper I was able to take a personality test. This test is known as a Keirsey Temperament Sorter. I was intrigued to see what this test would say about me. The questions were interesting. On occasion they were hard to answer. You have to really look into yourself and truthfully place yourself in a situation and think what would I do? The report stated that I was a Guardian. The more I read into it, the more I felt that it was accurate in my personality and how I interact and associate with others. In the†¦show more content†¦I want to encourage others to do a job, but I also know that I can get the job done also. I nurture because I am a mother, a wife, a sister and a daughter. I also know that I cannot take that into a work environment. I n eed to be a communicator, a problem solver, a scheduling guru and do what needs to be done for the people around me. I learned from the report and also in our reading that I was on a good path as a leader but I also stumbled. I was a lead registered medical assistant for a pediatric clinic for 7 years before I entered the nursing program. I helped manage my clinic of 3 other medical assistants, 1 receptionist and assisted with the other 3 pediatric clinics in our organizations. I realize that I followed what my mangers want of me. In the 13 years I was at my clinic, we had 4 different managers. For example, we had an amazing manager who ran our clinic with an iron fist. I say that lovingly and truthfully. She was fair, firm and consistent. She did not take sides. She always weighed out the pros and cons, and knew what was going on in her building. In our reading the way of the Shepard, the author wants you to know your flock. My manager knew her flock. She knew who her w eakest and her strongest employees were. She was constantly up lifting us. I believe that my manager was a guardian also. She truly was an inspiration to me.
