Strength and Weakness

Strength Commented [QA1]: Reflection as an evidence is not

provided.
Strengths and weakness are one of the major part of an individual during professional

career. If an individual is well aware of his/her weakness and strength then the individual can Commented [QA2]: Not a good start. Also the sentence is
not refined.
improve significantly and prosper within the organisation. According to the CIPD profession Commented [QA3]: In his personal and professional life.
Commented [QA4]: Professional
map my biggest strength is passion of learning (CIPD Profession for the Future, 2019). Passion

for learning can be elaborated as the situation where an individual is more passionate about

learning new things in order to improve the performance within the organisation. I have urge to

learn new thinks because I think I helps me to improve and enhance my performance. In addition Commented [QA5]: ???

to this this behaviour can also backfire at times making it a very tricky behaviour. For example, Commented [QA6]: ???

my urge of learning new things can lead towards intruding others privacy and professional space.

If a colleague of mine is doing something which is very important and I start disturbing

for the sake of learning something new, there are high chances that I will end up in making them

uncomfortable and irritated. It has been a major reason of concern for me over the passage of

time as I cannot stop my urge of learning new things. With my passion for learning new things it

makes me feels that I’m ahead of my colleagues. Furthermore, it also helps me to feel that I’m Commented [QA7]: Contractions are not used in
academic writing.
competent enough to survive in an organisation which also helps in boosting my confidence. In

addition I do realise the fact that I need to control my urge of learning new things and also accept

that I cannot be ahead of everyone else all the time. I have planned to make and organise a Commented [QA8]: Monotonous content.

planner and note down things which I need to learn in order to improve myself and which things Commented [QA9]: What are those things. Be precise
and specific while providing information.
are useless for me to learn. That’s how I can improve myself further.

Weakness Commented [QA10]: Reflection an evidence is not

provided
One of the biggest weakness that I have is that I lack the confidence of making situational

decision making. Situational decision making is a process where an individual is required to

make instant decision based upon the requirement of the situation. As I’m a perfectionist I

require ample amount of the time to process a particular situation and then I can come to a

concluding situation after analysing the situation completely. This procedure requires a lot of Commented [QA11]: Redundancy error.

time hence this a particular part of my personality which needs improvement as I believe it can Commented [QA12]: Hence,

prove to be one of the biggest hindrance in my growth within an organisation. For example,

during a team meeting if my manager asks me to provide a quick solution for a particular

situation therefore because of the fact that I like instant decision making I would stand blank in

front of him. Commented [QA13]: Check grammar.

Another example could be that if I’m managing a team and a particular situation arises Commented [QA14]: Which situation. Do not leave an
argument unclear.
and my team look forward to me for making a call, there are high chances that I would fail in the Commented [QA15]: That

particular situation. Hence, I need to improve this weakness of my personality as I think it would

make a lot of hindrances in my career growth and promotion within an organisation would be

highly unlikable. In addition to this, this would also hit my personal life as well as my

professional life. One way I can improve this weakness of mine is to support my gut feeling. Commented [QA16]: Unnecessary

Another way could be practicing so for example, I can give myself a random situation and set a

time frame for myself to provide a solution. I believe that after practicing it several times I would

be able to reduce my inability of decision making.
