<div dir="ltr"><div><div>It is important to address barriers I may face in my task, relations, and change-oriented behaviors so I can become an effective administrator. In order to do so, it's imperative to consider my personality traits and how they affect my behavioral choices, because the combination of our personality in a given situation and our behavioral choice will lead to our level of effectiveness. </div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The greatest barrier I foresee in regards to task-oriented behaviors is having patience to see a task to completion when others do not quickly understand or stick to the task at hand. I have a strong sense of achievement motivation and enjoy finishing a task quickly, efficiently, and then moving onto the next goal. I'm very practical and will want to stick to the task, without deviation or distraction. Any significant digression or hindrance may lead me to give up on the task and move on to something else. This would not be beneficial for my subordinates, who may consequently lose faith in my ability to accomplish tasks at all.<div><br><div>In regards to relations-oriented behaviors, it is foreseeable that I may not encourage and increase collaboration often enough. Working with others is something that I often find tedious. I sometimes avoid social situations, mostly due to my introversion, but quite honestly due to all of my personality traits. I prefer to work alone, systematically, under my own organization and control, so I can see a task to completion on my own devices. I do enjoy a small number of close, working relationships with people that I can trust and would be very likely to collaborate with them, sharing ideas and vision. However, I will have to be intentional about seeking others, especially those unlike me, in order to develop trusting relationships.</div><div><br></div><div>Change-oriented behaviors are highly situational and very dependent upon external factors. As an early administrator, evaluating and assessing those external factors may prove to be difficult as I learn to manage and lead as close to the center of the perceptual lense diagram as possible. It may also be difficult for me to consider the needs of others in times of change. I'll need to be purposeful to interpret the politics and culture of the situation successfully in order consider the external factors as part of my decision making process. Intersecting with relations-oriented behaviors, it may also be difficult for me to gain support of change if I do not effectively build collaborative relationships. </div><div><br></div><div>The most successful leaders understand themselves and assess situations effectively in order to choose task, relation, or change oriented behaviors at the most appropriate and desirable times, often balancing multiple simultaneously. With an awareness of my personal barriers, I hope to be able to move toward greater effectiveness. </div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><br><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_154908716548503351m_6357426843843459656gmail_signature"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="green"><b>Molly Sylvia</b></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="green"><b>7th/8th Grade Social Studies Teacher</b></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1"><b>Jr. High Quiz Bowl Advisor</b></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="Verdana" size="1"><b>Youth in Government Advisor</b></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1" color="green">Green High School</font><font face="Verdana" size="1"><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1" color="green">4057 Gallia Pike</font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1" color="green">Franklin Furnace, Ohio 45629</font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1">office 740.354.9290 ext. 3212</font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="1">fax 740.354.9904</font></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px"><font face="Verdana" size="4" color="green"><b><i>BELIEVE</i></b></font></div></div></div>
