This is a truly hard question to answer. I am incredibly driven, organized and ambitious. I enjoy a challenge and am a risk taker. I am very appreciative to those who join the path with me and am willing to express my gratitude continuously. So from those perspectives, I would hope that people enjoy being on the journey with me. I welcome alternative perspectives and love when people bring forth a great idea that will help us all. For example, when one of the conference committee members suggested that we invite Jack Saddleback to be our opening keynote I was thrilled. I knew he was the perfect choice for our conference and acknowledged her wonderful suggestion.
I do what I say I will and continually follow up with the members of my team to ensure that they have everything to be successful.
My shortcomings: I need to learn to be impartial. I have a hard time not investing everything, and that can get me into trouble. I can also be dominating. For example while in school anytime I had a group project to work on, I worked for the A, whether or not my group was on board. If there was no designated leader or I was a part of a lackluster group, I took over and got everyone an A. I did not want to sacrifice my grade point average for their lack of investment. I do not regret doing that, and would do the exact same thing if I returned to school. I simply acknowledge that this is not a true leadership trait.
