What is your greatest weakness as Packaging Manager?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Because of the corrective action you took, you were able to transform a starting point of failure into a success story of strength.

Two examples follow:
I didn't always know what I was doing - right or wrong - when I took my first managerial position. So I took online classes in managerial techniques, read management books, and paid attention to how managers whom I admired operated. As a result, I give careful thought to the quality of guidance that I give my direct reports before launching a project. I'm not yet perfect and may never be - I'm my own toughest critic - but, as the record shows, my leadership has improved dramatically in motivating the productivity achievements of my teams.

Not being a natural techie, I was underperforming when I first worked with X word processing software. So I took a class in that software program at a community college on my own time and now I'm the best administrative assistant in my office.

Balance a weakness with a compensating strength.

Two examples follow:
I'm not a global thinker. But, being detail-minded, I'm a topnotch staffer to an executive who is a big-picture guy.

I don't pretend to be a gifted trial lawyer. But I'll stack my legal research and business structure skills up against any other lawyer in town.
