Leadership Self Analysis
I know most of the people in this class are MBA students looking to move up in their company. I am slightly different. I am working towards qualifying to sit for the CPA exam, so I’m not pursuing a specific degree but taking classes to reach the number of credit hours I need to meet the requirements. I am not currently in a management position, but there is an opportunity for me to advance in my career to a management position. I do not have any experience in management, so I hope to fulfill two goals at one time, fill my CPA requirements and learn more about my management potential.
I am quite new to the leadership portion of my career, so I believe that I don’t really have much experience in traditional leadership. I have just recently been given the opportunity to mentor someone who may become a direct report. By learning more about my leadership and personality style, I would hope that I will be well prepared to transition more smoothly into a traditional leadership position. I used the Myers-Briggs personal style inventory, “What’s Your Decision Making Style”, Leader Member Exchange and Big Five Inventory to take account of myself. I hope to learn more about myself so I can be a better mentor and manager in my current role and in any future role I could mature into.
According to the Myers-Briggs Personal Style Inventory, I am a J, which says that I like everything organized, on time and in its place. It seems a little obsessive compulsive but it also sounds a lot like me. I also expect those same things from other people and get frustrated when those expectations are not met. My full Myers-Briggs personality is ESTJ, which is Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging. According to www.personalitypages.com, “ESTJs are take-charge people. They have such a clear vision of the way that things should be, that they naturally step into leadership roles. They are self-confident and aggressive. They are extremely talented at devising systems and plans
