Game Plan Using Signature Themes

Last week in my Business 2001 course our class completed a personality quiz that gave us five signature themes. My five themes are competition, achiever, futuristic, significance, and command. I felt as if these themes reflected my personality very well. I would like to continue to improve these traits in order to be successful, and this blog post will explain how I plan to improve competition, achiever, and futuristic. I will start with competition. This a trait that I developed through sports growing up. One part of the trait that I would like to improve would be the last line of the description, which states that "over time you will come to avoid contests where winning seems unlikely". This is sometime that I would like to fix because this will lead to avoiding competition. To do this, I will actively seek challenges instead of looking for the easiest way to win. One simple way I can see myself improving my competitive drive is through pick-up basketball, where I catch myself finding the easier games in order to win. In order to improve my achiever trait, I must start setting daily and weekly goals. As of now, I am happy with achieving only what I am required for the day, but I think I could be more productive and ahead of schedule if I planned for more than just that day. Futuristic is the trait that has the most potential to help me with my future career. I have always been future-orientated, and I dream of like after college frequently. In order to improve this trait, I must focus on being able to communicate these visions clearly. I can do this by practicing with my family or close friends who know my goals and can give me feedback. Working on traits I do not already possess would also benefit me greatly. #TUBusinessCareers #GoTU #TUCareerPrep
