Shows other employees how to overcome or deal with their weaknesses in order to help them grow professionally and emotionally

Expands one's horizons further than before while thinking about the impact one's actions will have on those around

Lacks a universal understanding of what a strategy is and how it differs from other planning terms such as mission, vision, etc.

Sets aside time each day to be with friends and family in order to have a chance to share and open up

Addresses issues in a professional, constructive way, and persuades others to approach issues in the same manner

Takes responsibility for one's own actions; apologizes quickly after hurting someone, walks away from arguments and forgives others rather than giving into feelings of resentment

Gives up every time one messes up and loses the energy to remain focused on one's goals

Works without a specific plan or schedule thus loses track on what should be done and when it should be done
