Vice President Self-Assessment
As I reflect on this past year, I have driven business expansion from startup and evaluated the organization’s success. This past year, we identified ways to
increase revenue and decrease costs by 10%. I analyzed financial reports with the accounting manager, prepared new operating budgets, and greenlit pilot
projects using AI and chatbots to compete in an increasingly digital economy. My understanding of the external factors affecting the organization will help us
think ahead and be ready for changes in the market. My most tremendous success was bridging the gap between the company’s day-to-day running and the
board of directors’ sweeping visions. Since taking on the new role, I realized my leadership skills come from years of experience and knowledge throughout life.
This wisdom has impacted my judgments, decisions, and actions. I have learned to focus on a clear purpose and mission. I have consistently shown commitment
and motivation since joining the company, and I want us to succeed. I am a leader who focuses on meeting set deadlines and objectives on time. I realize that I
can be too controlling in a project, and I don’t give other team members enough room to contribute or develop their ideas. I must learn to give others more
space and let them take the initiative, too. Maybe I should try harder to promote the company’s culture and values within my team. While I regularly hold
meetings with this in mind, I should focus on boosting team spirit and collaboration. I am often frustrated, and I find it hard to communicate when faced with
other leaders’ behaviors. Despite the challenges we faced this past year, I am incredibly proud of what my team and I have accomplished during the past year.
