When I attended the Leadership Institute in September of 2011, I took a test that determined my “Leadership Practice Inventory” (LPI). This characteristic is basically my personality that reflects me as a leader. My highest LPI was “Encourage the Heart,” which shows I am highly positive, have a contagious attitude that encourages others, and I don’t like to give up. I approach everything with optimism and energy, and I am rarely discouraged. However, I can imagine some weaknesses of my personality are that I could not embrace the full seriousness of a situation. I imagine that there could be times that I wouldn’t think realistically on accomplishing something because of my optimistic attitude and mind. I can see how I apply this personality every day in my life; simply, for example, in the way I celebrate every small accomplishment or am quick to give praise and smiles to others. I approach every obstacle or talk with optimism and enthusiasm and I like to spread my enthusiasm to others.
