Chief Sustainability Officer Qualities

From O*Net Interest Profiler result, I chose “Chief Sustainability Officer” as one of the career paths that I would like to explore more. Chief Sustainability Officer could also be called Director of Sustainability or Director of Sustainable Design. Their main task is to maintain the sustainability level of a company by coordinating it with the shareholders, management, customers, and employees.

Chief Sustainability Officer has several traits that, in my opinion, describe my personality. One of the traits is in the personality section, which is integrity. I want to describe this trait because I think integrity is one of the most important trait a leader should have. Moreover, integrity is strongly related to the sustainability of the company

itself. In my opinion, I am a person who has integrity because I will always follow the value which I believe is true. For example, when some of my friends try to take shortcut in doing their homework, I never do that because I believe it won’t give you any benefit, besides violating the rules.
Another trait I want to describe here is in the skill section, which is thinking about pros and cons before making a decision. I was one of the student committee in my junior high school, and there will be many situations that require me to think and make the decision. I would always try to think not only from one side of view, but from many points of views. I should always consider the pros and cons of the decision. I think it should also be applied in the future, like in my college and career life. Therefore, until now I will always take time before make a decision.
For the knowledge section’s traits, although I haven’t mastered any of those area, I think I am in the process of acquiring as many as possible of the knowledge needed right now. I think Purdue and all the instructors here will prepare me to be able to have those required knowledge, and I am sure I will be ready by the time I enter my career life.
