Know Yourself
Overview
A person is at his best stage of life when he is working on their own areas of interest. It is
said that follow your passion and you will never feel boredom while working. Hotel
management is the field which I consider as the area of my interest as it helps me to know
people and work on fancy things that I like. It is believed that the hotel management industry
is one of the toughest industries to work in because it requires interacting with people and
ensuring that the service delivery is according to their expectations only. Currently, I am
studying Business Management as this course will help me to attain information about the
external markets and grow without making errors (Brathwaite 2018). Being enrolled in the
managerial course, I developed the opportunity to find my inner capabilities to become a
wonderful manager, especially when it comes to the field of hotel management I believe that
it is one of the best suited job for me based on my capabilities. In order to achieve the success
in future prospects, I need to attain the key strengths like, learning skills, individualization,
adaptability, focus, necessity, futuristic, communication, responsibility, discipline, harmony
and positivity. All these factors belong to Clifton Gallup strength framework that helps a
person in achieving career goals effectively. My career aspiration is to work at a position in
future in the hotel management industry where I do not need to perform the tasks but manage
all the things and supervise the actions. My aim is to satisfy people and provide them
efficient service delivery as well (Jha 2016).
Relation of Theories with Career Development
Clifton is a strength based approach to management and leadership powers that helps the
people in identifying their qualities that can help them to grow. All people present in the
environment have a unique combination of skills, talent and knowledge that they make use on
regular basis in their lives to perform their work and achieve their goals effectively. Further,
Johari Window is a technique that is used to help people understand their relationship with
themselves and others in a better way (GALLUP 2018). These two tools will help me in
identifying my areas of growth as well as the areas where I am better than others. With the
help of such information I can easily excel in the target market by working on my capabilities
and appropriately presenting myself in front of the jury. These theories will constantly help
me to become a good person and develop my career opportunities as well.

Key Strengths for Designation
The strengths in my behaviour according to Clifton Gallup theory and Johari’s Window are
consistency, harmony, includer, positivity and relator. These theories help in attaining the
desired objective in the target market and refining my strengths in the market. These five
strengths are identified through the framework that will further assist me in my future
prospects of life (Self-Awareness 2018). These strengths will help me in building relationship
and shaping my career according to my needs and requirements. Initial strength is
consistency; consistency refers to the ability see what is fair and equitable to other and work
on them accordingly (Cowan 2016). Consistency is all about maintaining balance in the
work. This strength will help me to treat all people equally in an organization and eliminate
differentiation in the society as well. Further, include behaviour will help me to involve
people and initiate team work as no organization grow with the contribution of few
employees and not the whole team. Positivity strength will help me to keep myself positive
and other people motivated in the actions of the company. Relator behaviour will help me to
enjoy close relationship with other people of the company and share a bond with them.
Lastly, strength of harmony involves the look for consensus. Harmony strength will help me
to dissolve organizational conflicts and seek areas of agreement as well. I would effectively
make use of all these strengths at the time when I will face difficulty in my career. These
strengths will help me to keep myself motivated and achieve the targets defined (Smith
2016).
