This paper is going to be about my top five themes that I got from taking the test. The results is received from this test will help me have a better understanding of how to become successful in a number of different ways through my personality. Strengths Quest Reflection Paper Strengths Finder Themes Everyone has strengths as well weaknesses, however too often we dwell on are weaknesses rather than build on our personal strengths. The reason for identifying my personal strengths are to make better decisions, handle stress, develop better study skills, choose a major that best fits me, and to deal with all the issues and new things I will come across as freshmen in college. Once I recognize these strengths I can achieve success not only in college, but in my overall life.
With Transformation Leadership, one of the specific characteristics is being about the group rather than the one individual. Coach K talks about building trusting relationships so that the group can go on and be sustained and successes if something was to happen to a key member or the leadership. Successful teamwork can be built and maintained if the leadership builds trust, encourages and promotes collective responsibility, caring and pride within the group. All of these components combined (trust, responsibility, caring, pride) can also all work together for another Transformation Leadership characteristic, leadership being elevating. When the leadership works to incorporate and put in place these ideas, one can begin to elevate the group to be better than what they were.

Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive, coherent and run like a fine tuned engine.

At this point in their lives I believe the players would be more receptive of the training and understand why you work so hard in practice. 3. How do you define success? I don’t define success with wins or losses. I define success by how many players learn something not just about the sport but about life lessons.
I will do this by conveying to them the importance of having a strong set of moral convictions and beliefs, and how this can help them establish who they are as individuals. I will also stress the importance of creativity to them in order to help open up their minds to new ideas with regards to mind and body. I will schedule a meeting once a week with every player on the team. During this meeting I will give them opportunities to respond to questions that I have prepared. From this, my students will be able to express their individuality and I can help them develop this.
While the opportunities for women to participate in sports have equaled those of the men, there is one important arena of the sports world that is still dominated by men and that is in coaching. An article written by Jolinda J. Ellis and Gerald Masterson
Despite such criticisms, Rogers's theory of personality and his therapeutic methodology continue to gain adherents and have become among the most widely influential trends in the history of psychology. Rogers's therapeutic scheme as outlined in his books and practiced in therapy is premised on the existence within each individual of what he termed the “organismic valuing process,” sometimes described as an internal monitor of a person's experiences in life that, under favorable circumstances, allows the development of healthy men or women possessing optimum self-esteem and an accurate sense of who they “really are” as well as who they would ideally like to become. The obstacle to this development, according to Rogers, are conditions, primarily those inflicted by a child's parents, in which the individual is denied “unconditional positive regard” and is thereby influenced by either positive or negative “conditions of worth” which instill

“Transformational leaders are able to increase follower self-efficacy, giving the group a ‘can do’ spirit. Followers are more likely to pursue ambitious goals, agree on the strategic goals of the organization, and believe the goals they are pursuing are personally important” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 384). By evaluating and comparing my characteristics with my admired leader, Janet Mock, “People working for charismatic leaders are motivated to exert extra effort and, because they like and respect their leader, express greater satisfaction” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 381). Developing those additional leadership skills and advancing the characteristics I currently possess, will allow me the opportunity to expand my horizon.
