Topic > Leadership Reflection: Theory and Trait Approach

To demonstrate sensitivity, I need to pause and think about what I want to say before I speak. Furthermore, my moderate level of people skills demonstrates the need for greater improvement in the ability to be sensitive to the needs and motivations of others. One of my leadership experiences includes facilitating an informal weekly discussion with international students on cultural topics as a Peer Helper in the Office of Intercultural Affairs. Since some students are shy or more reserved, I often need to guide the conversation. However, I need to be careful of my overly enthusiastic and extroverted personality dominating the conversation and understand that others need time and space to express their opinions.
