1. McMillan demonstrates that the only way to fix the American eating habits is to consider the issue of social classes when discussing about the best eating habits that promotes health and fitness.

According to the personal development plan that I conducted, I found myself with various leadership traits such as commitment, and flexibility, where I can handle all my assignments correctly and on time. I need to be tolerant and avoid being temperament. Lastly, I also need to have faith in myself and believe that I can do what am supposed to do perfectly without

I completed the Big Five Personality Test. The personality traits in which aid my leadership abilities are as followed: I am relatively open to new experiences, very well organized, and can be relied upon. I am social and enjoy the company of others, good-natured, courteous, and supportive, and I remain calm, even in tense situations ("Big Five Project - Personality Test," n.d.).

The Seven Effective Habits brought a football team to victory, and made history for overcoming racism in a small town. The Habits transformed individuals, a team and a community; key figures include Louie Lastik and Coach Boone. All began when the multiracial football team at T.C. Williams High School, who bonded over training camp, had a winning streak, bringing fans of all skin together colour into one.

My first reaction to the Seven Habits Profile results was speechless. When I start to think what it takes to become an effective leader versus manager I start by evaluating the traits, skills, emotion intelligence and among other attributes of the personality. The next process of my thinking is self-evaluating myself to see if I possess those elements. The video was an eye opening revelation considering what I consider an effective leader aligns with The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The seven habits of the video are with the first step respectively: 1) be proactive, 2) begin with the end in mind, 3) put first things first, 4) think win-win, 5) seek first to understand, then to be understood, 6) synergize, and 7) sharpen the saw (Covey, 1990). By evaluating my chosen leadership theory: trait, along with the seven habits I gained a better scope of an effective leader. The overall results demonstrated that I was aligned with the Seven Habits principles ranging from very good to outstanding.

My scores ranging from “good” to “very good” with one “outstanding” for the nine sections that the Seven Habits Profile examines. After reviewing my scores, I became aware of areas that I already have skills and areas that need more improvement.

One of the highest scores I received on the “Seven Habits Profile” was in the category of “seek first to understand”. One of my biggest strengths is being an active listener and ensuring that I make people feel I not only hear them but am trying to understand them. I was taught active listening in high school and ever since then have been using the practice in my everyday communication. I make sure that I ask questions relevant to the topic at hand to fully comprehend the situation before offering any sort of advice or a possible solution.

In Category 2 of the Seven Habits Profile which tests “Life Balance,” I rated on the high end of “good.” I will always put myself in the middle when it comes to balancing the people in my life and the feelings of others because there is always work to be done. This is what makes me a self-aware person, though, because I am conscious of the fact that no matter what I do, there is always room for improvement (Lanz, 2013). I use this skill in leadership by helping followers be mindful of their life balance.

One of the highly effective habits that I follow is Habit 1 Be Proactive. Some examples that I do to show I'm proactive are, I'm a responsible person, I care about my work, I always keep it neat and organized and I hand in my work on time without excuses. I do something without being asked such as, if a teacher is talking to another teacher and everyone is being loud and talking, I do something quietly until the teacher comes back. I'm constantly in a good mood, I have a good attitude towards everyone and I have good manners for instances, if someone is talking I respectfully listen without interrupting. The last thing I follow in habit 1 is that I don't blame others, if I did something wrong, I will admit that I did it, it was an accident and apologize for my mistake.

The first part of becoming an outstanding leader is becoming more conscious of self by identifying your weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats. The following will outline my current and future leadership style. To analyze my leadership I will use the Seven Habits Profile as well as the leadership theory to evaluate my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and recommendations using the smart goals.

6) What does “Begin with the End in Mind” mean? Use examples from this week’s reading to explain your answer.

The Seven Habits Analysis consists of nine categories, two of those categories make up what is considered the foundation habits from which the other seven habits are built upon. Twelve was my lowest scoring in the category of life balance, to which I expected. I have been in the business of Medical Staff functions for the last ten years, due to the demands of the job, I have struggled for the last nine years in finding an appropriate work/life balance. My position is deadline heavy. There is no room for extensions on most tasks so it is important that my time management skills be impeccable. I have had to rely heavily on the project management team to ensure that I and my team meet the monthly deadlines we are faced with; in addition to managing

As I have reflected on the results of my Seven Habits Profile I have concluded that I mainly have a coaching leadership style which identifies with the situational leadership theory. I scored high within the categories that were centered around being sensitive and understanding to others, interested in seeking out their opinions, giving support, concern, and encouragement for their success, as well as valuing the importance of being kind, considerate, and working in harmony. The profile has also indicated that I need to concentrate on becoming more self-disciplined in planning ahead including exact steps to efficiently accomplish my tasks and reach my personal or work-related goals. To start the practice of constructing more in-depth

The first section of the evaluation includes information about the Emotional Bank Account and Life Balance, which are the two foundations of the seven habits evaluation. These two categories on their own can show someone what type of person they are versus how they perceive themselves. The task is to evaluate oneself in several areas to include speaking negatively about people when they are not present, keeping promises and commitments, showing kindness, maintaining a work life balance, staying focused without getting burnt out, and keeping others in mind while working on a task they have suggested. The maximum achievable score is 36. While ranking myself, I scored seventeen (17) in category one, and fourteen (14) in category 2 giving me

Onto the third one, Habit 3, which is Put First Things First. This habit, to me, is the most important in the private victory. This is because I tend to struggle with this habit when I have thousands of distractions around me. Anyways moving on, there are 4 time quadrants made up of two categories: “important” and “urgent,” the four quadrants are: Q1-The Procrastinator (important, urgent,) Q2-The Prioritizer (important, not urgent,) Q3-The Yes-Man (not important, urgent,) Q4-The Slacker (not important, not urgent.)
