Communication plays an extremely important role in business organization, more so while setting up the clear expectation in the business place.

Thus while setting up expectation clearly with the supervisor, I will ensure the following things:

Gardner theory of multiple intelligence suggests that people have different kind of intelligences. Gardner stressed and emphasized that in order to absorb he full range of abilities and talents which people possess, he stated that people have to leverage on various kinds of intelligence such as the musical, interpersonal, spatial, visual and linguistic intelligence(Gardner, 2018).
The theory is of much help in analysing the own strength of an individual akin to the Gardner model.
The strength here lies in the visual and spatial intelligence.
The people who have this intelligence are extremely good at visualizing things. These kinds of people are good with directions, maps, videos and pictures. The people having this strength are characterized by good reading and writing habits, solving puzzles, recognizing patterns and more so. These kinds of people have inclination towards the career of Architect, engineer and an artist(Martin, 2018).
I personally have good visualizing and spatial intelligence, and one of the fact which demonstrates the same is related to my memory, I don’t forgot the place I have visited once.
The strength here lies related to reading, writing and speaking abilities.
These kinds of people have the capacity to read and write well and thus are able to communicate effectively with people. This skill is much required in business organization in order to effectively communicate with the stakeholders. These type of people make their career in the field of journalism, lawyer & teaching(Ang & Dyne, 2015).
I personally have linguistic verbal intelligence; this makes me a strong candidate to justify my job role.
The strength with this intelligence lies in analysing the problems and solving mathematical operations(Caruso et. al., 2015).
These types of people are really good with numbers and follow a systematic way of analysing things. I have a good interest towards maths and I solve the problems based on the mathematical logic.
This intelligence has the strength related to motor control and physical movement(Sternberg, 2015).
These types of people have excellent hand eye coordination and physical control. I do have this intelligence; however I am not so confident to use this strength in my job skill.
These people have the strength of music and rhythm in their personality(Petrides, 2016).
These people have great imaginative power and they have the ability to flow along with the rhythm of the music.
The intelligence here gives the strength of creating a better understanding with the people and also to relate with other people.
These type of individuals or I would say me, have the ability to understand the people in their natural self, their emotions, motivation, desires and the intentions to be around such people.
I have this intelligence and that is what makes me a desirable candidate for the job role at Amazon.
This type of intelligence has the strength of self -reflection, personal assessment & introspection.
These people have the ability to understand their own motives, emotions, motivation factors in order to understand what is required for the development of a person.
I have this intelligence and I use this in my learning abilities as it gives me a reflection of the lacunae in my personal and professional skills to excel at my career.
This type of intelligence is characterized with building relationship with people and finding patterns in the situation(Petrides, 2016).
These types of individuals are more concerned towards nature, and this is the most recent addition to Gardner intelligence. I am equally inclined towards the well -being of the environment and wish to contribute towards the sustainability of the environment.
Thus Gardner model of learning and development has been very helpful in determining my strength.
Thus my learning is mostly based on Interpersonal skill, which makes me a people person and provides me with the ability of managing and handling people by creating a bond of trust and long lasting relationship with them.
My Preferred learning style is based on Gardner intelligence as it gives an empirical evidence of the strength of an individual in accordance to the eight learning and intelligence cycle. My current skill set is that I am working towards brushing my people skills and trying to go beyond the normal societal bonds with people, and establish a relationship which goes beyond all the boundaries and does not have any kind of limitations.
Some of the strategies which I need to deploy are:
