Please write a complete paragraph on each of the three characteristics, along with an introduction paragraph.
Looking back on my behavior from last year, I'd say that the three characteristics that I need to work on are my self-confidence, assertiveness, and extroversion. Last year, I doubted my capabilities since I didn't have much experience in film, and I lacked confidence in the beginning (and a little towards the end) when I started to take on bigger roles in my groups.
To work on my self-confidence, I can start by looking back on what I know, making sure that I'm confident in those roles, and knowing that it's okay to make mistakes as I'm still learning myself. I think I was too harsh on myself for making mistakes, so I have to come to terms with being okay with that, and acknowledge that mistakes are actually necessary for growth.
To work on my assertiveness, I have to first build my self-confidence, as it'll give me the courage to speak up. Since I now have more experience in film, I know a little about what works for certain groups and what doesn't. I think I lack this skill in larger group settings especially, so I need to understand that my opinions matter and should be considered just as much as anyone else's.
Lastly, to work on my extroversion, I just need to get myself out there and interact with more people, because it really just takes a lot of exposure and practice. There are some days where I feel more extroverted than others, so I need to try and channel this energy into my everyday life, and especially when I'm leading groups.
I believe that all these skills will help me be a better leader because I need to be someone approachable, and a person that someone can look up to, especially if I'm going to be leading a group. In the film industry, being a leader will also get you noticed by higher-ups, and promoted up the ladder.
