Three things I learn from this survey that could help me with my current job are my excellent extroversion facet, and I need to improve my leadership skills because according to the report, I am a passive leader. The third thing I learned is that I have low organization skills. After reading the criteria on these specific qualities, I am able to agree with low organizational skills as I have noticed my terrible organizational skills, especially in my workroom. I believe that improving on being open and increasing cooperation between myself and coworkers will help me further my leadership skill. I am delighted that my sociability, self-esteem, and social boldness are all very high; these results came as a surprise to me because I imagine myself to be an individual with low self-esteem.

These results increase my confidence, in the future, I will utilize the amazing qualities I have and apply them where necessary. I, however, do not agree that I am a passive leader because according to the report; passive leaders stay inactive until things go wrong. I believe a passive leader came about when there are no clear goals or problems, and if there is limited to no communication between the leader and the followers. I am an individual with high communication skills, I like for my group to know where I am at, and I try to guide and instigate understanding among members of the group. Another reason that I disagree with the passive leader attribute is that in my report, I have a high propensity for Leader Consideration which reflects the extent to which the leader is likely to engage in building relationships with subordinates as an integral part of their approach to management. So, the two skills contradict each other for the reason that if I am a passive leader, then I should have low leadership consideration.

Sheldon Chumir is a hospital in downtown Calgary and I work in the department called Elbow River Healing Lodge Clinic which is on the seventh floor of the hospital. The clinic offers primary care services like family-focused and prenatal care, immunization, street outreach, community liaison, social resource referral, advocacy, etc. It is apparent from the list mentioned that the clinic is a social outreach for many people, specifically First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. Specialist services that the clinic offers are nutrition, child oral health, neurology, and others.

In the report, my traditional score is quite higher than the overall traditional value that Sheldon Chumir culture undertakes. The rest of my workplace values are equivalent to Sheldon Chumir’s culture. This means that I am able to work well with the clinic or the hospital’s environment. In the report, the hospital will not have to worry about my turn-over risk as I can adapt, engage and I am satisfied with my work environment and me being one of its staff. I agree with this report because I do enjoy working at the clinic, meeting and connecting with new people as well as gaining new experience. I would have liked the report to stress the physical environment of the hospital, not just the culture of the hospital but its social aspects too. The report could have also given details on the nature of working in a hospital, like if a significant amount of employees finds working there difficult or easy. The report given on the hospital about its’ culture seems vague and incomplete, and so any other information given could have helped better the understandings of someone who is not familiar with the hospital at all. I am stressing on this point because I believe many hospitals have similar cultural values described in the report, it would be interesting to know what makes Sheldon Chumir stand out from other hospitals like Foothill or Peter Lougheed Hospital.

Potential uses for this data are many; first of all, this report enlightens me about my strength, weakness, and gave a detailed understanding of each of the skills I possessed. This report gives me the opportunity to improve myself regarding the area that I need to improve on. Companies could use this as the first resume, especially during the recruiting process or when hiring. Corporations could just call who they feel are capable of the positions available, instead of spending so much money on applications and interviews. If the companies know who they are looking for through this kind of report, their expenses are then reduced with the process of hiring. Companies could benefit from this report as they are able to know their employees better, they are able to know and understand employees’ weaknesses and strengths in order to assign positions or roles that the workers can excel in.
