My name is Jane Doe, and I currently manage a team of highly intelligent computer programmers at a rural telecommunications company. I assess myself and my team in the interest of providing the best service to my company and team. One assessment I used recently was the “Seven Habit’s Profile.” This profile measures the following areas: Emotional Bank Account, Life Balance, Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand, Synergize and Sharpen the Saw.
