GCI

GCI
The GCI was an extensive assessment of questions which took longer than I anticipated. The results from the GCI do in par of who I am to an extent. The Perception Management results classified me as an overall Low performer. However, I do not see myself as demonstrating a low level of effectiveness in regards to Management Perception. I had anticipated classifying in the moderate category. As far as Relationship Management, my results are accurate. I am a very secure, laid back and secure person. Therefore, classifying under the moderate and high category for Relationship Management is of no surprise. As far as Self-Management, the results are pretty much fair. However, I was surprise when I received a low grading for Optimism and Stress Management. Being that I have multiple tasks going on at the same time and am extremely occupied, I have an optimistic view of life and the outcomes of my work. Also, I have a clear and planned out process during times of stress so it was a shock to discover that I received a low grading for Stress Management.
The most significant lesson that I have learned from this instrument is that I have to do a better task in translating my intentions and goals into an actual outcome. A great example is implementing and executing my stress management plan in order to reduce my stress level. Also, the most important lesson that I learned was that for Perception of Management. Because I was under the assumption that Management is supposed to be competent and I had no detrimental experience to oppose this ideal, my low results of Perception Management supported this. However, after unprecedented and needlessly changes in my work environment, I no longer have emotions or thought that relate to the results of those expressed in my GCI for Perception of Management.
According to this instrument, my weaknesses consist of Optimism, Stress Management, Interpersonal Engagement, and majority of Perception Management. All other categories are my strengths.
I honestly believe and know that the dimension that I need to develop more to become more effective at work and at school is to be consistent. I need to be more consistent with my ideas and being on top of all that is happening, whether it be school work or work of my career. I tend to let time fly by and because I have the capacity to think well on my toes and perform well during crunch time, I leave things to the last possible minute or near ending time. I believe this creates stress in my life. Perhaps if I become more consistent with time management, I can actually perform above my occurring stages and be stress free.
