1. Outlining your personality.---as an OD professional

My personality has several elements that will make me a good OD professional. I am a good listener. I have the ability to understand diverse people. I can also consider different perspectives and reach a balanced conclusion. This element of my personality is very useful in resolving conflicts. Another personality attribute is that I continuously expand my knowledge both related to my work and related to the business world in general. On current affairs, I have an opinion and I am a good conversationalist. I like to meet new people and I am original in my behavior. I have a positive attitude and can respond humorously to any situation. For example, if there is a conflict between colleagues in the finance department, I can crack a joke about 'crash accounts' and enable communication. By nature I am an extrovert and can think on my feet. Even when there are pressures I can perceive the facts and make a balanced decision. I have the ability to persuade people, I command respect from others, have a passion for what I do, and I am honest. For instance, when I am a group member most of the members respect me and follow my vision. My personality is suitable for organizational development because I have confidence, I am clear about who I am, and I care for others (French, W.L. and Bell Jr., C, H. 1999). When I am a member of a team, I am able to engage all its members. As an OD professional, I can empower others and collaborate with them for achieving the objectives.
