D253 - TASK 1
**A. Complete the VIA Character Strengths Survey using the
“VIA Character Strengths Survey” web link, and use the
results of the survey to complete the following:**


---


**1. Describe an experience in which you used one of your
five signature strengths (i.e., the first five) from the survey
results to overcome a challenge.**


Working in an Oncology practice for the past 17 years has not
only taught me a lot about cancer and cancer treatments but also

,led me to meet many people from all walks of life. I have found
myself using one of my signature strengths daily, kindness. Many
of our patients are scared, worried, and angry about their
diagnosis and what is to come; many times, they lash out abruptly
and are rude and say not very nice things. I am not a fan, to say
the least, of being on the receiving end of an angry patient, but I
remind myself to show kindness as I am not in their shoes and
may be the only person who is nice to them today. Showing
kindness has paid off for me, as patients will call me back and
apologize for being rude and taking their bad day out on me. This
has shown me one small act of kindness affects others.


**a. Explain how you could apply the strength identified in
part A1 as a values-based leader in your new position as the
customer service manager from the scenario.**


Applying my strength of kindness in my new position will show my
staff that I genuinely care about their wellbeing. Showing kindness
will also open up communication with my staff as it makes me
approachable and will lead to staff being motivated and engaged.
When employees feel cared for and understood, they tend to
perform better and exhibit greater job satisfaction. By fostering a
culture rooted in kindness, I will help create a positi

, ve work environment that supports collaboration and mutual respe
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




ct among team members.

**2. Describe an experience in which being stronger in one of
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




your five lesser strengths (i.e., the last five) from the survey r
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




esults could have positively influenced the outcome.**
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’e’




Perseverance is one of my five lesser strengths that, had I been str e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




onger, would have positively influenced an outcome. Upon graduat
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




ing high school, I enrolled in college like millions of other students.
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




During my first semester, I struggled with my studies and found tha
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




t I could quickly drop or withdraw from classes. So, instead of push
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




ing myself to refocus and study harder, I took the easy way out and
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




dropped classes; this led me to take college to the back burner an
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




d, ultimately, all together. If I had been more vital in perseverance, I
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




e’ would have pushed through, finished school many years ago, and
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




fulfilled my dream of becoming a Pediatrician and taking care of sic
e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’ e’




k children.
