How do you see yourself as to each face? We are living in a new economy where creativity and innovation are the driving forces for any enterprise that wants to thrive. I have scrutinized the ten faces, and they are just simple but very effective strategies that provide actionable ideas for any individual who intends to build an innovative culture. I firmly believe that all the ten faces are understandable and straightforward, and most importantly, being a hurdler, a collaborator, and a director are just onsets to set on innovation. How do you create and scale a truly disruptive business as an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurs have a significant role in establishing a business that indeed outperforms others in the same industry. It entails understanding the consumer behavior in the market and subsequent designing and innovating a product that perfectly matches or even outdo customer expectation. Disruptive innovation involves exploiting new business models and results in the creation of new markets. Measuring the performance of a business is as easy as determining its product performance in the market relative to the performance…

at what point does our self-awareness turn into self-criticism? Throughout my career, I’ve interviewed for a few positions and seemed to have a good perception of how the interviews went. In a conversation with a potential employer, they mentioned my strengths and weaknesses were congruent with what my references reported. To me, this indicated I had strong self-awareness. But at what point does our self-awareness turn into self-criticism? While working as Mock Interviewer at IUP, I would ask students what did they think they did well, where did they think they could improve upon? Almost all of these students would focus on what they did poorly, rather than list what they did positively. But what struck me the most would be how minor or small the mistakes would be. Students would list actions I never picked up. While it could be that I wasn’t as attuned to the interview, my thoughts are we are our own worst critics. However, this extends beyond interviews, to any time we are being evaluated. This makes sense; who knows you better than…
Review of Self-Assessment Tasks Emotional Intelligence Emotional intelligence is the ability to make sense of and manage your feelings and emotions, and those of people in your environment. It allows a person to take control of situations by considering how emotions are affecting their actions and those of others. I was able to score highly in this test because I answered the questions in a way that reflects my character. The experiment was designed to gauge how my behavior reflects my emotional intelligence. The questions required me to reflect on my behavior in the past and how I am likely to react if I was in a similar situation. Daniel Goleman (1996) suggests that five aspects are the most important to consider when measuring a person’s emotional intelligence. The five aspects are empathy, motivation, social skills, self-awareness, and self-regulation. I was able to demonstrate the traits of a highly intelligent professional by possessing all of these elements. Since there were no right or wrong answers, I was able to consider my real feelings and answer the questions honestly. My responses…

Nigeria’s self-rule after independence “Aunty Ifeoma sat with us, glancing often at the TV as she ate.” I don’t understand why they fill our television with second rate Mexican shows and ignore all the potential our people have,” she muttered.” (123) “A politician’s mouth is full of monuments Rumbustious raconteurs whose landmarks Bump into each other Like rudderless speed boats” Ebi Yeibo The first republic refers to Nigeria’s self-rule after independence. The period lasted between October 1, 1960, and January 15, 1966, when the government was overthrown through a coup d’ état. At independence, the country had all signs of hope and democracy.
