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?
4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?
After fulfilling the requirements of this post, please check out the next post here! You must take part in the brainstorming/activities given in all of these posts to successfully complete the program.

Beautifully said. Love your answers ❤️😊
Hi @GlenM 😊
Open-mindedness: 90% | Conscientiousness : 48% | Extraversion: 73% | Agreeableness: 82% | Negative emotionality: 11%

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
Mostly it’s quite precise as far as i believe. But I’d like to comment on 1 point of the result.
❊ I’ve always believed that I'm leaning heavily on introversion and I was a proud introvert lol. Because I rarely feel bored being alone, too much social interaction drains my energy, and I'm quite reserved with my struggles. And INFJ-A confirmed those with 61% introverted.
Turned out, the fact that I can relax around people and feel secure enough not to wonder much of what other people think of me, puts me in an extraversion spectrum more on the Big 5 Test. Interesting.
2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?
❊ high percentile in Open-mindedness
❊ high percentile in Agreeableness
❊ Low percentile in negative emotionality
3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
A combination of all the traits help me to overcome many obstacles and trials in life so far.
4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?
In a leadership on 7 Cups:
Help me keen to learn more, to understand better about the site, the community goals and values, about the resources and tools accessible, about the opportunities available, as well as staying calm when feeling overwhelmed and find a way to adjust the roles with consideration of my strengths and weaknesses for the benefit of the community and my own self-growth.
In my career:
In my career, I found that it’s always good to be passionate in what we’ve decided to do, open-minded to new ideas, suggestions, or even constructive critics, as well as being supportive to the company’s goal, to coworkers and clients, being assertive and proactive.
