1. Discussion of Strengths

informed decisions when filling gaps in skill or understanding why a team
member might resist a change in an environment that prioritizes honesty
and support. This will help remote employees feel like they are part of the
team, even if they aren’t physically in the office.
Strength 2 – Harmony
The strength “harmony” indicates a leadership style focused on
collaboration. As a leader, I prioritize creating a workplace where people feel

affecting team morale and productivity.
In my IT manager role, harmony drives how I approach team dynamics
and communications. I seek to maintain a cooperative environment and
prevent disagreements from escalating. I encourage discussion based on
