I have found that I only blog when I should be studying. This may be because I am rarely by a computer not busy with another task, or my need for reflection during these times. Going with the latter will for once help me not only become a better person, but complete an assignment as well.
About 6 weeks ago I was assigned a Leadership Development Portfolio. It was our reflection on a variety of assessments. I some-what started this about a month ago, which for me is unheard of, so this alone should earn a few brownie points. But it was through this assignment, I have put my concrete ideas about myself down on paper. Sure I knew I liked analyzing my decisions and I knew that I wanted to stay organized and occasionally I varied between task and relationship focused projects. Today, I can use the technical terms behind these ideas.
The technical terms were great, but they aren't what I'm most excited about. I'm most excited to look at my growth. Four years ago I took a rather in-depth assessment looking at what I needed to know when going out into the business world and what future managers needed to know about me. Comparing the results from the two assessments, I can see areas I have stayed the same. These are the areas that deal with my personality, my personality hasn't changed drastically, nor should it have, but it has been refined around the edges. The other changes were in my approaches, I have become more aware of myself in the social structure known as the workplace, for example. Over the next couple blog posts (my professor wanted a journal, but I blog so I'm just changing the requirements) you will get an insight to me (that and I had no idea how to write a paper on this, so I chose to be a little creative.)
