////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Please answer each question in the space provided. Brevity is acceptable. Incomplete responses may require follow-up.
This self-reflection is a routine exercise designed to maintain command clarity and ensure alignment with operational expectations.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Describe a recent moment where you felt most certain your decision was correct:
Instead of speaking to a command member, I instead decided to talk to a silicon on the Station. It's not often we get the perspective of them, so I figured it would be good to talk to someone who may not often be heard.
Describe a recent moment where you questioned whether your decision was correct:
I do not have a response for this at the moment.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
When faced with competing priorities, what ultimately guides your final choice?
How it will help others, usually. When I'm doing something I want it to matter, even if only a little bit. The crew come first in most scenarios.
Is there information you have chosen not to share with your department or crew? Why?
Sometimes, when I interview others, I'm asked to keep things between us. When someone wants to stay anonymous I take it to heart. I know a lot can happen between shifts. I would never want someone to get hurt because I leaked their name out into the public, despite their wishes.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Think of a time someone challenged your authority. What did that feel like?
Frustrating. Whenever I work for Security, it happens a lot. People don't like to be told what to do, especially when they feel like they're in the right. I never let my frustrations out on others, though. It's not, and will never be the correct action. But, it's like an ache in my brain that squeezes my eyes.
Think of a time someone supported your decisions without question. What did that feel like?
Good. I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about. I'd like to believe I stand by what's right. If someone agrees with me, for whatever reasons they may have, I'm happy to have the support. Caution should be executed though, right? You never really know if someone's agreeing with you just to gain something from it themselves.
It's like a wag to your tail that you can't stop!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What value most consistently guides your command decisions?
Loyalty. I want to make actions that make people believe in me. I don't work in Command positions very often, but when I do I want it to matter. When a shift ends I want people to speak of me fondly, or with guidance on how I could do better. Being OPEN to sharing guidance, without feeling as if they're doing something wrong by giving input. To be relieved if they see my name on the manifest, knowing they're in good hands.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there ever a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? Describe:
I want to help more. I want to be on a team that strives to assist and care. But I'm usually working with Civilian jobs. Those are still important, but they're not Command. Does that make sense?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Looking ahead, what kind of leader do you want to be?
As stated before, one people can look up to. One that is on their level, has seen what they've seen, done what they've done. A leader that a Crew can call on and have a quick response, or know they'll be seen sooner rather than later.
What kind of leader does NanoTrasen need you to be?
Reliable. Dependable. A good asset to a shift, and not a liability. One that reflects well on them, and is able to keep moving forward even in the worst of scenarios. Though, that's just what I think.
