2. Albert Humphrey led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s Fortune 500 companies were used to identify why corporate planning failed. Albert Humphrey and the original research team used the following categories: “What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the future is a Threat.” In 1964, at a conference the F in ‘SOFT’ was changed to a W, and thus, the emergence of ‘SWOT’ Analysis as we know it today came into existence. www.yeshaswibhav.com

11. Tasks you usually avoid because you don't feel confident doing them? What will the people around you see as your weaknesses? Are you completely confident in your education and skills training? If not, where are you weakest? What are your negative work habits ?(Not punctual, disorganized, short tempered) What holds you back in your field? For instance, if you have to conduct meetings on a regular basis, a fear of public speaking would be a major weakness. Again, consider this from a personal/internal perspective and an external perspective. Do other people see weaknesses that you don't see? Do co-workers consistently outperform you in key areas? Be realistic – it's best to face any unpleasant truths as soon as possible. Weaknesses www.yeshaswibhav.com

17. Personal SWOT Examples www.yeshaswibhav.com

18. Example 1: STRENGTH I'm very creative. I often impress clients with a new perspective on their brands. I communicate well with my clients and team. I have the ability to ask key questions to find just the right marketing angle. I'm completely committed to the success of a client's brand. WEAKNESS I have a strong, compulsive need to do things quickly and remove them from my "to do" list, and sometimes the quality of my work suffers as a result. This same need to get things done also causes me stress when I have too many tasks. I get nervous when presenting ideas to clients, and this fear of public speaking often takes the passion out of my presentations OPPORTUNITY One of our major competitors has developed a reputation for treating their smaller clients poorly. I'm attending a major marketing conference next month. This will allow for strategic networking, and also offer some great training seminars. Our art director will go on maternity leave soon. Covering her duties while she's away would be a great career development opportunity for me. THREAT One of my colleagues, is a much stronger speaker than I am, and he's competing with me for the art director position. Due to recent staff shortages, I'm often overworked, and this negatively impacts my creativity. The current economic climate has resulted in slow growth for the marketing industry. Many firms have laid off staff members, and our company is considering further cutbacks. www.yeshaswibhav.com
