I have a long way to go! This is the first assessment of self-awareness that I done, surprisingly, and I have found that I have the emotional intelligence of a new born. This was rather surprising to me because I have held the torch many times for projects and programs and have never even considered self-evaluation to be to important. I always hold to my competencies such as program analysis and resource management on my arm and lead with MY GOALS as the criteria for an end result. This evaluation sheds new light on my short comings and I think that it will allow me to be more aware of my surroundings.
I do like getting feedback from other members of a group but have never tried to evaluate others emotional competencies to allow me to better connect to them and in turn produce a product that has been thoroughly evaluated before submission. I feel that I have always been "lucky" in my results and have received kudos for my product, but the difference may have been missed job opportunities or at least superior submissions which could have put the lime light more on me and my groups for future considerations.
I was not surprised by some of the results, especially in my fore-mention competencies. I take pride in my successes and the accolades that have resulted in turn. I have not always given praise to others for the work that they do and may have, in some cases, taken credit away from the rightful recipient. I also feel that I have grown a lot in the past few years and that my successes have been a direct result of those who have assisted me. The saying "it takes a village" means more to me now than ever before, and without the communities and work associates in which I depend, none of my successes would have been possible; because I am that kid who has always needed a little push to get motivated. There is always room for growth, and I think that this class may teach me to walk a straighter line towards accomplishing goals.
