Hello Leadership Crew!
I am having a blast with you all. This leadership program is a lot of fun and Im glad we are doing it. I think itll help across many fronts. Shout out to @aleks2 and @quietmagic for their help looking at the first batch of results on our leadership composition. ÃÂ
Here is a summary:
Here is a summary from @quietmagic on what our collective - all of us together - strengths and weaknesses might be:
Leadership Crew Strengths:
Altruism/motivation: Having a deep passion for helping people that drives all we do and creates a feeling of purpose and meaning
Idealism: Having inspiring dreams and visions of just how unbelievably powerful and beneficial this site can be: imagining all of the good we might be able to create, all of the suffering we might be able to help heal
Kindness: Being able to create a kind, cooperative, culture that is gentle and considerate with people's feelings
Compassion: Being able to understand, connect with, and feel an urgency to resolve the needs, concerns, or problems of the people that we serve
Relationship: Feeling a yearning for deep, meaningful connections with others, creating a community where people are able to be authentic and feel a sense of belongingness
Leadership Crew Weaknesses
Practical implementation: Developing and optimizing systems, managing the fine details for concretely achieving our broad goals
Risk-taking: Being willing to take risks or make drastic changes to existing systems/practices where needed
The above analysis feels/seems right to me. This new leadership program in fact can be seen as one way that we are attempting to address a growth area by optimizing our leadership systems! And, zooming back, if there was going to be a team of people that was going to try to pull off the impossible (a free emotional support system), then I think itd be with the leadership composition described above under strengths. Itll take a lot of optimism and kindness to make this a reality!
Okay, lets transition to the next exercise and discussion.
Begin by taking the Big 5 test and answering the following questions. You can also read more on the Big 5 here ÃÂ and below.
1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?
3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

Your Results
From these results, I can clearly tell I'm kind of in the middle of most of the values which sows I'm a very balanced indivudal and it's the situation that can bring up different aspects of my personality. Two values that are very dominant however, are being open to new experiences and being very sociable. I find these 2 qualities to be the most useful too, when working at 7 Cups! I feel like I can start up a conversation anytime and this program is a key example of how I am very open to try new things. I think I can improve my emtionality though and also my organization!
@GlenM
The strengths I identified in both tests can help me in my personal life in that I can make amazing experiences out of understanding my strengths. Since I am a good communicator and am very social, I can actually interact with others in a very positive way. This can allow for great and valuable changes in my life and others, solely by the idea that experience is something that is very valuable for me. I found it so interesting how dominantly being social is to the make-up of my overall personality.
@GlenM
From these results, I can clearly tell I'm kind of in the middle of most of the values which shows I'm a very balanced individual and it's the situation that can bring up different aspects of my personality. Most of my personality isn't composed of dominat factors. I react to situations in different ways and need context in order for my personality to shine through!
@GlenM
3 strengths according to this big 5 test are that I am very sociable, like to be in the company of others, and am fairly open to new experiences. I do this this is true, I find meeting new people and being around good company a great experience in it itself. It's always a better combination of we experience new things together too!
@GlenM
The strengths I identified on both tests that would help me in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in my career in that I realized experience is vital for my growth. Reaching out to others and communication are the key ways I can shape a future I want both in 7 Cups and with my future career. I realized that I should continue to start up conversations and be a welcoming person. It will lead to experiences both I and others can cherish and make the 7 Cups community even more warmer and wholesome.
@TheGoodHeartedBuddy
Hi there Buddy! I think the way you interpret being in the middle is an incredible way to look at the test. In a way, being in the middle makes you a more balanced individual, which can make you a reliable leader. It's important to adopt different approaches to issues as a leader, and because you are in the middle, you will be able to adapt seamlessly to different situations. Because of your stance, you will be able to relate to many people, as well as make them feel welcome.
@TheGoodHeartedBuddy
It's so cool that you're such a balanced person, and that must definitely give you a very versatile skill set for many situations you could face as a leader, both in your personal life and on 7 Cups/ in a career. The fact that you're a very sociable and friendly person must also be really helpful in meeting new people and building connections, which is very useful in teams as a leader. It sounds like you have all the skills and qualities to make an amazing leader!
