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 realize 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.
