A520.1.4.RB - Self-Awareness Blog

Emotional Intelligence

            Since the start of my MSLD journey, I’ve learned a lot about self-awareness (my emotional state and even some of the causes). I am trying to use this new found self-awareness to help in self-management, and gain positive results in social competence. My interaction with co-works in my department is fairly good. But, I am learning to use my self-awareness and self-management skills to help develop my social awareness, relationship management skills, and social competence skills. My ability to understand other people’s moods, behavior, and motives in order to improve the quality of my relationships with others.

Attitudes toward change

            I think my attitudes toward change is one of my best attributes, my MSLD studies have helped me see this as a strength. I have had the tendency of get bored when I am constantly working at the same problem. Individual attitudes toward organizational change is one of the most pervasive factors in individual resistance to processes of change. This is my strength.

Cognitive style

            In my current position I’ve had to really learn and understand the differences in mine and others cognitive styles. In my role as a manufacturing engineer it is my job to help streamline a process to make it more LEAN. But my mode of thinking, remembering or problem solving may and often does differs from those I’m trying to help.

Values

            My basic values or core values have modified or evolved have age. But this the case or should be the case for all maturing adults. But working in the corporate arena has changes my values and view of the world.

Core Self-Evaluation

            My core self-evaluation has changed. It continuously changes. But for the positive. I have always been a leader no matter what I was involved in. The MSLD program, the different assessment, and objectives have given me confidence in some of the natural abilities and traits I already had. And also shown me some that I don’t and those that I need to work on.
