Since I joined the Organizational Behavior class, I understand my weaknesses and strengths. From different models of self-assessments, I found myself in these different models. Among these models, MARS work better represents my personality. Through MARS model, I discovered my strengths in my ability to work and motivation in doing works, and weakness of fearing be larger roles in teamworks, From relate myself with the MARS model, I suddenly remember my past experience in my SM131 class. In my sophomore year in EU, I wanted to take more challenge in my college life, Therefore, I registered for SM131 class in order to minoring in management.
I thought the class is going to be introduction of management work and should be full of theories of marketing and business ethics, However, teamworks was also one of the major component for the final grade of that class. To be honest I love talking and discuss with other, but I hate getting into a team and solve problems.
because I understand the important of giving different teammates different role when doing a project, and I don‘t want to being a team member.
For me, academic life is all about being focus on works that professors asked me to do. In my perspective of this class, teamwork always cause conflict with my teammates because of disagreement in work. Since I thought getting into groups won’t help me focus on works, I was unwilling to get any roles in a team. However, I didn’t have a choice of whether or not being in a group.
Professor divided class into serval groups and we were assigned with presentation projects. When doing the project, I found myself really good at creating fresh perspectives for a project, so many ideas of our team’s project originated from me. Also since I wanted to get a perfect grade in SM131 so bad, I worked so hard either when working in teams or work alone. Nevertheless, my weakness of take a responsible role in my team caused my productivity when working together.
At the end of the semester, with my help of the ability of creating new ideas, and motivation of getting good grade, our team did okay of the overall result. When I was re-assess my performance in that class, I found out the performance would be better if I could be more responsible as a team member, After reflecting in this past experience in my recent self-assessment in OB class, I discovered that my personality was perfectly explained by MARS model. First strength is that I could always motivate myself in doing works in order to have better grades or better result. In my perspective, in order to obtain things that I want to have or to achieve, I am capable of convince myself to put behind every obstacles that stand between my goals and I. Teammates will be motivated by my passion in working efficiently, and they will start to work hard as they want to keep up with my pace.
Therefore, I could use this strength and take the advantage of achieve more in my teamworks. Secondly, my ability of finish assigned works is my another strength. In my mind, personal ability will effectively improve team’s project‘s quality and will improve the result of team projects, Since I can always understand the assignments as soon as works were assigned, I will directly get into working mode and won‘t allow myself to rest until I finish my objective. Therefore, I believe my teams will benefit from my ability as a hard worker. I am skilled at doing researches and search for key informations which I am looking for. Therefore, I can save a large amount of time when doing my own assignment in teams. However, my weakness as take responsible role in a team defect all of my strengthens as a team member. Since working as a team member is essential when doing the project, and evenly distribute works will effectively increase productivity and the outcome of the teamwork. Therefore, I wanted to make changes in my weakness, of being a irresponsible team member.
In the upcoming OB class, I wanted to contribute more of my ability of creating fresh ideas and motivated passionate into my own team Therefore, my teammates might benefit from these strengthens of mine. However, I will also try to overcome my fear of take responsible role in a team so that my own performance would affect the overall result of my team. Teammates will understand how badly my passion I would put into this team. Moreover, I would try my best try to solve our disagreement inside the team without hurt teammates’ feelings and our productivity. For conclusion, this semester is going to be new challenge for me, Since this is going to be the last semester as a college student, I will try to make myself useful as a team member, and assist and contribute as much as possible to this team Overcome my weakness and improve my strengths so that we could be a better team with me in the team.
