I like for things to be organized, and
when they are not, I’m great at getting
them organized.
I
am very strong on work ethic and expect
that from others. I cannot just sit around
and do nothing for very long, especially
if I have a lot to do and I don’t
have a plan. I am extremely organized
when I work and I can work on four or
five things through the course of the
day. I think about what I have to do on
the way to work or the way home or the
night before. It’s very gratifying
to work extremely hard and sacrifice in
order to take care of people, and I like
when people appreciate that I have given
of myself for them. I feel a lot of responsibility
for what goes on when I have put time
and effort into something and want to
see that continue.
Things
have to make sense to me. They have to
be reasonable, logical, and simple and
when they are not, that’s frustrating.
I think a lot of my life is tied up in
responsibility and structure and organization.
That’s key—to have a frame around
which to build everything else. It’s
satisfying to see something that was not
working start working with tangible results.
Once the structure is in place, then it
fades into the background and allows the
other, relational elements to bloom. You’ve
got to have that backbone and structure
or the rest of it falls apart. I can’t
relax when things aren’t done right.
I
have a sense of order and I like making
sure things run smoothly, the practical
nuts and bolts, on a day-to-day basis.
Planning is challenging and exciting.
I make sure others have what they need,
not just what they want. I am pretty fast
paced and want things done, and I get
aggravated when people are late. I want
to keep ahead of things to be ready to
move on to the next thing. I am always
trying to find the best way to save money,
but I have very high expectations and
I take the extra steps that need to be
done. I take pride in my accuracy and
detail, and I take pride in my accomplishments

I
hate when things fall apart because of
disorganization and lack of leadership.
I hate fraud, inefficiency and waste,
cheating and stealing, lack of loyalty
and integrity, and people who don’t
play by the rules or are only going after
their own good. When people take the easy
quick way out that really irritates me.
And I resent it when other people don’t
respect my time. I need people I can depend
on, and I get rid of people I can’t
depend on.
I
have a lot of common sense. I believe
you can build leadership by giving people
genuine responsibility and genuine recognition,
and I’m someone who can get things
done. Sometimes people think I am too
structured, but I feel best when I accomplish
a lot. I relax when my work is done.
