My Character traits:
Concerning my personality I would have to say that even though I used to prefer working alone do to the fact that I am a little bit individualist and very perfectionist, all the teamwork we have done during these past three years at ESCE has allowed me to change. In fact, as the number of projects we had to conduct in teams would keep growing, I adapted myself and I have now reached a point at which I appreciate working in groups.
My strengths and weaknesses:
It seems to me that my major strengths are my organizational skills, my technical knowledge and the capacity I have to lead and support my team mates thanks to my capacity to guide, bring ideas and manage. It is clear that my main weakness is my perfectionism, which results in losses of time for very futile details and how it can annoy other team members. I may also express a certain lack of patience especially when I feel another member does not seem concerned by the work or is not making efforts.
My expectations:
I am hoping we will be able to achieve all settled goals. I would really appreciate working in a serious but relaxed environment. As our team is composed of people we always work with, I know we should be able to reach our objectives. But we have integrated a Chinese student this time. Therefore, I would really like him to become a solid member of the team and benefit of his point of view and strengths.
Expectations from the team members:
I am not worried about their motivation or their implication into the activities we will be doing. Nevertheless, I am expecting them to contribute as they have always done, putting forwards their strengths and knowledge. On the relational aspect, I hope each member will feel well integrated and part of a “real efficient team”.
