Dear Professor Kim,

In order to be successful in the business environment, a person has to be confident, well informed about business relations as well as their emphasis/specialty, and has effective communication skills. These are all attribute of being a leader, the most important thing to portray in business. Leadership qualities are essential for all companies, big or small. Failing to meet these qualities will leave a person stuck at the bottom and will not progress to a higher position.

Being confident will assure co-workers that the goals and duties will be accomplished. A company will hire confident people over hesitant, shy, and timid people. An important part of business is having a network, and people that lack confidence deter other co-workers from having interpersonal relationship with them. Understanding a great perspective on business relations can lead to success. It is important for other people in a business setting to see a credible person. It is the only way co-workers can trust a business decision. Plus, if an employee does not seem credible, they might lose their position. Great communication skills provide a positive interpersonal relationship with co-workers. Some attributes consist of understanding, listening, positive thinking, patience, and clarity. These skills are both verbal and nonverbal. Interacting with positive expression of verbal and nonverbal will lead to a more advantageous outcome.

I recognize that I am only confident in certain moments, but I am not confident in all my experiences. I need to hone my confidence to make a statement in my business career, as a leader that will take action. Being timid and shy will never get me to the position I want in a company. As for knowing my emphasis/specialty in business, I can always review the material I learned in school to keep my attentiveness and apply it to my position. Getting a job and gaining experience through work is beneficial in understanding my requirements. For communication skills, I have some attributes that are effective like listening, giving feedback, and being empathetic, but I still need some work. I still need to speak with a confident voice and display a body language equaling my verbal tone. These are the characteristics I need to improve to be a leader in business. Success comes with confident.

Your student,
