Know Thyself


My 5 ways of human capital:

1. I grew up an only child with a single mom. Cliche, I know, but I definitely feel that this enormously contributes to my work ethic and drive. I was taught how to be on my own at a young age but also to cherish and appreciate what I have and continuously strive for improvement.
2. I have several years of customer service experience making me quite skilled in dealing with all kinds of people, cultures, etc.
3. Along with the customer service experience, I have almost 6 years of regular management and upper management experience. I have had priceless training through my company's program in which I acquired the skills needed to excel in any organization.
4. I am 100% a people person. Where most managers may lead by intimidation, I choose to lead with the intent of respect. I get to know and want to understand my employees and build close relationships.
5. I consider myself intelligent, however, I have not taken the "expected" path in life or with school. I am 28 and just now starting a Bachelor's though I feel this attests to who I am as a person and that I never give up on something.

Differences:

I think that the way people see me is almost how I see myself. Obviously, there is going to be some sort of difference because they have a different perspective and you know your inner workings and your thoughts. I do think they are correct, I don't think anyone can be "wrong" about how they view another person, only lacking in knowledge of the inner workings of one's thoughts. It depends on how much you let that person in. I don't think I would change anything about my list. The things other people said add to it, but I feel it is accurate!

  1. Most managers do indeed lead by intimidation in my experience lol i like that you would rather lead with respect but in my opinion i favor a boss that i can hate rather than one that exists in a weird space between friend and owner. It doesn't lead to greater productivity, it doesn't make me any happier, but it certainly allows me to understand capitalist reality with more ease than a boss who actually views me as a human being

  2. Hi, I like how you described the fact that you have customer service experience. I too have a lot of experience with customer service and I think it's a great thing to jot down since it involves a lot of problem solving and resolving issues that people are frustrated with. Being in a high-tensioned environment is important and it develops a lot of character
