Sample scripts to use:
"I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I have found it difficult to delegate and trust others when I feel I can do better myself. However, during my current role as Manager, I have learnt that for me to succeed I needed to delegate and trust more. I learnt to set expectations upfront and spent time with my team and taught them what I believe was good. For me personally, this has developed me a lot over the last couple of years and made me a better leader.”
"I’m a direct no-nonsense and honest person and this has worked well for me achieving much over the years. However, I have learnt that my perceived “blunt” style to some can be taken the wrong way. Working closely with my manager and mentor I have learnt to adapt my style and delivery to different people. I have also attended a couple of leadership courses and I’m constantly learning. I think I have improved soo much from a couple of years ago.”
