Discuss: how are you going to overcome your weaknesses and minimise the threats? (approx 100 words)I am going to minimise my treats by not allowing my personal life interfere with my study goals at GSM. In my opinion the weaknesses I am dealing with can be resolved with time and I do not think that the weaknesses I have are major ones. I guess practicing meditation can heal two major issues like losing temper and also can heal the trust issue that is bothering me to effectively work as a member of a professional team. I guess that with time all the weaknesses I have will be eradicated as right now I do not think i am burdened with any major weaknesses that cannot be resolved. I can surely be able to minimize the threat factors just by stressing on working as a team and learn how to manage the team members and make the most of the team effort, as in today’s ever-changing business world without a team work, major jobs cannot be completed and an individual would not be able to take full responsibility of a particular task and finish it off in time. I think my inability to move out of my city would affect my career, but at this moment due to some personal reasons I would not be able to take up a job in a different city and that can potentially affect my career development.version 1.0 6
