personality traits are relatively stable dispositions to behave in a particular
way.<span> </span>I focused on the most important
five traits and zeroed in on my specific deficits associated with effective
leadership when reflecting upon myself.<span> </span>The
five personality traits are self-confidence, stress tolerance, emotional
maturity, integrity, and extroversion.<span></span></span></p>

confidence is defined as <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:white">a feeling
of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment.</span><span> </span>I have a great amount of self-confidence when
I am very informed and knowledgeable about a topic.<span> </span>The area of self-confidence that I would like
to improve upon is to persist in the face of problems and defeats.<span> </span>My confidence goes up and down during a
specific problem including one with a defeat. I would like to persevere and to transition
to acceptance and what I can do better in defeat.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

I deal in a variety of different ways including the need to have my own “introverted
time to tolerate the troubles of a day.<span>
</span>At times I get very stresses and I tend to show.<span> </span>My wife tells me I show stress by being very
short with one word answers and short phrases.<span>
</span>She typically leaves me alone for a bit of time understanding what I
need to get over the stress. <span></span></span></p>

on is extroversion.<span> </span>I believe in the
right situations I can take my introverted self and become more
extroverted.<span> </span>It takes certain situations
and a level of being comfortable to make this happen.<span> </span>I believe I have already warmed up to the
cohort and the “feeling out” process has been fairly easy with this group.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

with effective leadership is motivational traits which include task and
interpersonal needs, achievement orientation, power needs, expectations,
self-efficacy.<span> </span>Motivation is defined as
a set of energetic forces that originate both with as well as beyond an
individual to initiate work-related behavior and to determine its form,
direction, intensity, and duration.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

will focus on is task and interpersonal needs as I believe is one of the
biggest building blocks for relationships.<span>
</span>These people are driven by the task as well as their concern for
people.<span> </span>I don’t think that anyone can
ever top out but will always strive to be better with interpersonal needs.<span> </span>I have noticed that some people view an interpersonal
relationship differently than others.<span>
</span>All people are different and I am hoping that in the next two years I
will get better at adapting to people to please individuals the best way I can.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

the skills which include technical, interpersonal, and conceptual.<span> </span>Technical skills are the focal point for
me.<span> </span>Technical skills are the bringing of
specialized knowledge to bear an administrative task.<span> </span>The skills are going to take a lot of
experience, a good mentor, and the drive to focus on as many behind the scenes
items.<span> </span>While working with my principal I
am sure to include myself in a bit of everything.<span> </span>I will need to continue to ask the question
why, for more understanding of why administrators do what they do.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

changing but to think logically and to work with concepts seems to come fairly
easy for me.<span> </span>My vast amount of teaching
in three different school districts in a multitude of different positions has
allowed me to have the ground work for thinking logically. <span></span></span></p>
