1INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
Strengths: Having good interpersonal skills is one of the most important aspect that helps to
understand things easily and identify the matters according to the strengths. Analytical skill is among
the personal strengths that will help me to collect and analyse vital information. This helps me to
solve numerous problem and then make decisions. I have good collaborative skill which will help me
at the time of presentation as well as tackling the stakeholders (Konopasek, Norcini and Krupat
2016). I am very flexible and good learner which help me to understand any situation and adapt with
it easily.
Weaknesses: among my weaknesses, I can refer to the stubbornness which can affect my efforts in
completing one particular task for a long time and continue to work until it gets fininished. For this I
have suffered many times in the past. Moreover, I am slightly intolerant which can affect the
relationship with the colleagues or subordinates. I cannot wait for hours for making decisions rather
try to manipulate others’ thought according to me. Despite the fact that I am unwilling to give much
time to others for making decisions but I sometimes hesitate for making decisions which take much
time for thinking (Kulkarni et al. 2015).
Opportunities: I have great opportunities in my future if I can utilise the scopes before me. I have
good leadership skills which I can use in any sector of service. In the organisations where team
management is necessary I can effectively contribute to improve the production and quality of the
organisation. Moreover, I am creative and innovative hence from professional aspect I can start any
business and lead to success (Ćukušić, Garača and Jadrić 2014). The trends of global business to
increase the diversity of the workplace will be helpful to me as I have knowledge to manage people
through communication and other skills.
Threats: my competitors can dominate me in some aspects like experience and practical knowledge.
All the knowledge that I possess is completely theoretical and I do not have any practical knowledge
in working in any industry (Panadero, Brown and Strijbos 2016). Therefore, my competitors who
have practical knowledge will get more opportunities than I can get in the competition. In addition
to this, some of my competitors can have more knowledge in the particular field which will help
them to react or respond in one way which will be suitable or acceptable in that situation but as I do
not have any experience, my thought and effort will be lagged behind them.
Personal strategy:
Having perfect goal or mission in life is very important for anyone to shine. Without this, I
cannot proceed in my personal life or profession. My mission is to get personal knowledge through
practical tasks which will help me to excel more than my competitors. Moreover, I need to enhance

my communication skills which will help me in maintaining a great relationship with others in same
profession. This is the reason I have decided to strategize my movements to outperform others. In
order to enhance these skills, I need to take help from the courses or mentors who will help me to
gain enough practical knowledge in my field and guide me to respond any situation. In order to
transform my weaknesses to strength, I need to indicted in various studies and gain adequate
knowledge about the actions of the organisations in these days.
