DILIGENCE I carry out tasks conscientiously, thoroughly, completely and dependably. To accomplish this, I stay on top of things by keeping my documents in order, examining procedural documentation and paying attention to important details. FLEXIBILITY I can adapt my usual thinking and approaches to new and different situations. By the same token, I can take on new tasks and challenges and deal with them without fear or anxiety. GOAL-ORIENTED APPROACH I establish ambitious and attainable goals with suitable steps to achieve them. I can also work together with others to develop and establish goals. In addition, I don't lose sight of them even in difficult situations or under changing conditions and continue to diligently pursue them within the agreed timeframe. INITIATING AND IMPLEMENTING CHANGES I am open to new and unfamiliar things. I see changes as opportunities for the future. I like to develop new visions and am aware of the new conditions, solutions and directions that this entails. I pursue changes without losing sight of other participants. JUDGEMENT I have the ability to analyze situations, individuals and processes from an appropriate distance, and to objectively judge what consequences can be drawn from this. LOGICAL THINKING I draw correct conclusions from the available facts. I can rapidly recognize how things are interconnected and summarize this information. I am quick and precise with numbers. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE I see future developments as a challenge. Thanks to information that I have gathered myself and my own reflections, I can anticipate future developments and act accordingly in a forward-looking manner. I adjust my behavior in line with my own vision of the future. ORGANIZATIONAL ABILITY - PLANNING I can translate goals into tasks and, at the same time, optimally make use of the available resources. In doing so, I take past experiences into account and consider future developments. I can coordinate diverse tasks and organize them in a logical sequence. PERSEVERANCE - STAYING POWER I can constructively deal with difficult conditions such as intense pressure, resistance, disruptions, etc. and, at the same time, can produce solid and convincing results during long difficult phases. PERSONAL CONDUCT I can behave in a confident, trustworthy and convincing manner that is appropriate to the situation. I am aware of my personal impact and can consciously use this for a successful presentation. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY I know that I am solely responsible for my life and my decisions. This also means that every situation in my life is decisively shaped by my actions. PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY I can see what makes a problem a problem, and in doing so, I can recognize the relationship between cause and effect. Based on this knowledge, I can identify and assess the risks and opportunities connected with the problem and develop suitable solutions which involve everyone. SELF-ASSERTION I am confident in my abilities and prepared to meet the challenges that I face. By the same token, I am aware of my own needs and goals, can confidently express them, and can stand up for them, even in the face of diverging opinions and interests. Indeed, I clearly distinguish myself from others. TIME MANAGEMENT I accomplish assigned tasks and goals within the agreed timeframe. For larger projects, I always develop a time plan and stick to it. Furthermore, I always allow sufficient downtime to recharge my batteries. USE OF KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION I realize that I don't have to know everything, but I know where to find information. At the same time, I can differentiate between important and superfluous information. I am aware of the tasks and interests of others and can present my information in an appropriate manner.
