Mckinsey Reflection

I really enjoyed the McKinsey Quarterly leadership model and found its dimensions very self rewarding and self teaching. The first dimension being to find personal strengths and putting those strengths to use for an inspiring purpose. I learned through this dimension that my strengths can be put into use that will not only benefit me but also those around me. I realized that I am good at sympathizing with others which I view as a strength because it helps me understand people that might look complicated to others. I decided to put this trait into use and defend those that are in need for someone to stand up for them or for those that do not have the ability to express themselves in healthy ways to the society.
