Myers-Briggs Tool

Using the Myers-Briggs Tool was really interesting and I'm glad that our Leadership Class got to try it out. It has helped me understand more about myself and my strengths as a leader and in general.  The results were very surprising because of how accurate they were to my personality. I turned out to be an ESFP. Before taking the Myers-Briggs tool I didn't really have any idea on how I would end up.  But once I learned the results I got i believe that they fit very well.  It is a good tool and I think that everyone should try it at least once in their life.  It really helps open yours eyes to who you are and what characteristics you posses, it helps you find yourself, which is really refreshing.  These result will be very helpful because i now know my strengths and weaknesses.  I now know that i am good at being flexible which is a good quality and can use generosity, enthusiasm and outgoingness to get tasks done and work well with people.  I have also become aware that i may get easily distracted or become annoying using too much humor.

Changed view on Leadership

Leadership class has helped me realize what a real leader is and how they act.  I thought that leaders could only be made, it was who they were and the genes and characteristics they had.  But over these past 7 classes, Mr. Monaco has taught us that a leader can be made from observing and the persistence and patience to become one.  I understand how hard it is to be a good leader and all the hard work it takes now.  It takes an open mind and to be easy to talk to but still a strong backbone.  Even the smallest acts of leadership count and i've been noticing it more now throughout my peers and throughout myself although I still need work I know through desire and strength I can accomplish my goals and the ability to become a good leader.
