Spiritual Gifts Paper

PART ONE: What are your top two spiritual gifts? Do you agree with the results? Why or why not?
The results of my Personalized Spiritual Gifts Analysis show that Administration is number one followed by Exhortation. I agree with the outcome of this analysis. I’ve always been a natural leader and find that others trust me in leadership roles. If I am with a group of people I automatically assume the position of being a leader when no one else will. I feel that I am especially great at doing this when the people don’t know each other and I help everyone to work together. It is fun and motivating for me. It develops me as an individual when I have others counting on me. I take a lot of pride in knowing that the outcome of a situation is directly affected by me. Of course, that sometimes means accepting responsibility for failure and learning from your mistakes.
My second most dominant Spiritual Gift is Exhortation. This means that I like to encourage people, work wel with others as well as one-on-one and have a “get it done” attitude. I agree with this Spiritual Gift for many reasons. As I was reading the analysis it talked about how I need to be careful not to interrupt others. It was very ironic to read as I tend to jump into conversations while others are speaking because I am excited about the topic. There was one part that I disagreed with. It said that I am very “serious-minded, orderly and able to explain how to apply God’s word.” I feel that these are area’s I am weak in and need to work on.

PART TWO: Specifically, how can you use your gifts at this time? How might you misuse your gifts? Be specific.
There are good and bad things I can use my Spiritual Gifts towards in life. For Administration I see myself applying this to my work, personal and spiritual life. My title at work is Director of Social Marketing. I have to manage employees under me to make sure they not only get

    The Simple Gift Chapter 6

    Chapter 6 is all based the strengthening of friendship between the characters of Caitlin and Bill and of Old bill and Billy. In the section Comfort Bill talks about how he hated school and didn’t have any friends. The repetition of the negative quotes in the section emphasises how Billy did not belong in his old environment. “I never talked to girls, I hardly talked to anyone. Sure, I answered questions from teachers and occasionally I’d talk to some guys I’d know for years. But I didn’t have any friends”. This links back to the harsh and abusive environment Billy grew up in, as stated in previous chapters.…

    Ethical Reflective Statement

    I agree with my strengths that I have compassion. I feel that I am a very compassionate person. I truly enjoy working with and helping people. My compassion is the main reason that I have chosen to work in the healthcare field. Even though my work has not exactly been hands on medical treatment to patients it has always been the work of making sure patients are getting the quality care and respect that they deserve. Another strength I possess is that I see clearly and use my head. I always trust my gut and feel that I am in tune with myself and have the ability to stop and interpret my instincts. In other words I have good judgment and trust my judgment. I also concur that I live out my role of responsibility. When I complete any work, regardless what the work is and it has my name on it I am going to complete it thoroughly and with pride. I want my classmates and co-workers to know that they can rely on me to complete my work and that my work will be that of quality.…

    Spirituality In Leadership Theory

    Most leadership theories, transformational, transactional and laissez – faire focus on the development and motivating the followers. But they gave less attention towards spirituality. Many studies have been done in order to find the impact of leadership styles on the employee performance and how it can be used to improve the organizational outcomes. Spirituality is considered to be the innercore of leadership. Spirituality is something that is beyond the self. Leaders today, losing the values, morals, mission and vision to do the work. Spirituality is what deals with the improvement of personal values and understanding of self and work towards the integration of self and group development. As Fairholm (1996) worked on spiritual leadership having…

    Personal Reflective Essay: My Personal Experiences

    The abilities an individual possesses are an accumulation of their previous life experiences and the various competences which have been practiced for many years. Often times, these skills are overlooked and taken for granted as we never actually think about them in terms of their effect on our potential career choices. After thinking about my personal skills, I compiled a list which included; communication, cooperation, patience, listening, helping others and perseverance; all skills which I have possessed for majority of my lifetime and have used to overcome many challenges. One example in particular which required me to draw on many of these skills, was fairly recently; I am a dance instructor for children ages four to seven and there was a young boy who joined the class later than the rest of the students. I noticed that he was struggling…

    Clifton Strengths Finder

    In many cases, people find it difficult to label or categorize their natural talent. Because one is unaware of their natural talents, he or she experiences. During Gallup’s research on identifying talents, they discovered Throughout the course of Clifton’s work on studying talents, they discovered that the majority of people do not have careers that purse their natural talents (Rath, 2007). Out of 10 million people they surveyed, 7 million people were not engaged at work. When these individuals were not able to use their strengths they reported to dread going to work, have more negative than positive interactions with colleagues, treat customers poorly, tell friends what a miserable company they work for, achieve less on a daily basis, and have fewer positive, creative moments in the workplace (2007). To fix these problems, Clifton created a measuring tool in 1999 to categorize and identify talents. First, Clifton wanted to base his research on what is right with people instead of one’s weakness. Based upon previous tests, Clifton started studying work environments and how measuring one’s raw talents could be developed into strengths. He states that a talent is a “naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied” (Harter, Hodges & Lopez, 2005). Next, he states that strength is an extension of a talent. In other words, if one has the gift of communicating well, then with practice, he can develop his talent for talking into a personal strength such as public speaking.…

    Explain Your Strongest Areas

    Like every other person I have strong areas and areas that I need to work on, because they’re not as strong. The two areas I think are my strongest areas are interpersonal assentation and time management, and the two weaker ones are self-stem and decision making.

    After reading the paper about Charismatic Leadership: Reflections From Personal Life Experiences by Dr. Andrew Anane-Asane, I had the chance to also evaluate my life and my leadership style.

Rosa. In my high school and college years, I am most of the time appointed or elected in a certain leadership status, though as a kid I’m the repressed quite bullied kid in the corner of the room, I actually can’t understand how the sense of leadership sprung in me.
