What characteristics of leaders and managers do you feel are your personal strengths and weaknesses?

In terms of my leadership skills, I’m able to communicate well with people around me, think strategically and delegate effectively. Also, I excel in problem solving and can motivate my team members to achieve their goals efficiently. I am also open-minded about my decisions, and this helps me find creative solutions to problems that are beneficial to everyone.

In my role as manager I struggle to delegate tasks correctly and am often not assertive when taking important decisions. Due to my desire to be liked by everyone, I can also have difficulty prioritizing tasks and ensuring all voices are heard.  Even though I have confidence in my ability as a manager, there will be times that doubt can creep in and lead to procrastination or hesitation when the time comes for action.

While no one can be perfect, these insights about my strengths and weaknesses have allowed me to better understand what needs improvement in order for me to continue developing both personally and professionally.
