Self Reflection Analysis Throughout this quarter, taking the various self assessments both reinforced previous knowledge that I already knew about myself and taught me more about myself. Even when I knew which choices would yield me a higher score, I forced myself to admit my flaws and choose the honest answers or else there would be no point in these quizzes. In this paper, I will be discussing the top three self assessments that helped me realize my strengths and weaknesses as well as habits that I may need to change to become a better employee and leader.
Self Assessment #1 - Goal Orientation
What was confirmed?
As I was going through the questions to this self assessment, I answered according

The questions I answered on this self assessment confirmed that my job’s work team is highly interdependent. As a member of the marketing and sales team, I cannot do any work unless my boss issues a project or product to market to other businesses (we are a b2b company). Regarding sales, unless Susana, my coworker who is in charge of customer service, gives me a client portfolio, I have no list to go off of. In the same way, unless I make a sale by contacting potential clients and existing clients, the data teams do not have any projects to work on, so they rely on me in that aspect.

I kind of have to talk to my boss and ask what he thinks about things and guess if he is pleased with my progress. I want to have a consistent feedback loop so that I know if I am functioning efficiently or not. Moreover, I want to establish a steady flow of communication to the other teams of my company. Our actions generally do not coincide at all, so we barely make any contact, but I still think that it will be beneficial to discuss clients. Since I make contact with clients directly, I can relay any specifications or preferred customizations to better please our customers. In practice, this will enhance our customer service because all of our teams will be more familiar with our clients. With more contact in between each working team, general cohesiveness will most likely increase throughout the
This relationship will enlighten me to the clients’ wants and needs and also make it easier for them to ask what they want in a comfortable environment. Through these relationships and desirable environment, I will be able to develop trust and show clients that I am loyal to all.
In taking the 360o Refined Self-Assessment I have learned my five highest leadership skills are: communication, outcome concern, information sharing, credibility, and decision fairness. My five highest rated behaviors are: communication, communication, communication, outcome concern, and outcome concern. I agree that I do well in communication. Moreover, I feel information sharing is part of a sound communication platform.
Critical Reflection and Analysis Co-working a case through conducting direct work with an eight-year old girl, I used professional curiosity to explore an alarming self-disclosure made to me about her sleeping with a fifteen-year old boy, who was a non-relative. By keeping an open mind, avoiding making assumptions, analysing what was said and observing the child’s body language, I determined that whilst this incident was really inappropriate, there was nothing untoward happening. However, to safeguard and minimise risk for the child, I relayed this information to the relevant social worker so the concern could be properly addressed and resolved. With the C. family I had to consistently question and evaluate the reliability and validity
Participating in the leadership self-assessments shown I am transformational and servant leader. In this assessment has given me an opportunity to identify my strengths and weaknesses. The assessments have been an eye-opening experience which have led me to develop a deeper understanding of my actions, motives, and values; and how contribute to successful outcomes or negative consequences. Learning about myself through these self-assessments has been an investment in the future of both my personal and professional life.
Therefore, you should be comfortable with asking for help or paying for assistance. But still, sometimes the results of the self-assessing questions might be too subjective for you. Thus, in order to assess yourself absolutely, look for the feedback from family, and friends on your personal and professional skills. Moreover, you should always eager to learn from other business owners, their experiences and their
Hence, the aim of this report is to reflect over my current personal skills and abilities assessment with a particular focus on self-development to become a management professional in order to fit into the organization and to become successful. 1.1 Personality, Assessment and Evaluations Psychologists have long recognizes the importance of work in our lives and they proposed that, personality play a significant role in all the process of work starting from how people actually perform their jobs and the attitudes they hold about them (i.e. job satisfaction) through the factors that increase or decrease their
In the different assessments, I noticed that whether the assessment was regarding my strength, personality, or interest each assessment connected with each other, to bring me together into a person who applies her positive approach and uses her intuition in her career. Each assessment helped me take a different approach into my career exploration. They taught me how to apply myself and to know that each person has a different talent that can fit into any career. Taking the assessments opened my eyes to new ideas I would have never thought of trying. I can now finally take a comfortable step into finding my career after taking the self
Reflective Statement The structure of the assignment has compelled me to gain deeper level of understanding on writing a précis, and consequently avoid plagiarism. Despite not having any experience of précis an article, the level of difficulty was fairly minimum. I was given clear instruction on the Moodle website including lectures on the steps I needed to undertake to achieve the aims of the assignment.
Reflection Self-Assessment As a student I have learned over the course learn more than I thought I would have thought possible. The career report allowed me to reach and find the career I want to enter after college as a preservation historian. This is going to be a reflection on the writing proses I had for the career report. My writing proses was done in three parts.
Today’s contemporary world is characterized by high competition that presents a need for labor force with effective basic life skills for them to succeed (Kets, 2010). For instance, effective and successful managers must have certain specific competencies that help them to deliver efficiently. An individual’s ability to be conscious about themselves, their personalities, motivations, and competencies, when affected by being able to manage their emotions, weaknesses and have self-control is proof of good leadership (Simmons 2013). The process of assessing these traits leads to the development of what is known as a personal inventory (Siegel, 2017). A personal inventory is a very significant tool towards basic life skills building
Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
They say great achievers always managed to themselves. There are eight self-assessments that are crucial to one self. One of them is managing your own self; the next seven are more like questions to yourself. What are my strengths? How do I perform?
About three and a half short months ago I was on the search for “easy” electives to do, which was my main goal at that time. I was coming off of a 3-month long vacation and my academic goals were on an all-time low. I said to myself,” just find some easy courses so you can get an A, graduate and get as far away from U.W.I as possible.” I did my research found several courses and I stumbled upon one in particular which I went on to pursue, yes MGMT 3065 Professional Ethics. I heard through the grape vine that Professional Ethics was “easy” however, I was not convinced.
INTRODUCTION This report will highlight and take a critical look at my years of Bachelor, with the aim of building a post-graduation long-term action plan that will guide me towards my master degree and beyond in order to enhance my full potential. Employers, universities and even professional bodies all agree on one point: “more than ever we need professionals who are responsive to economic, social, cultural, technical and environmental change and can work flexibly and intelligently across business contexts.” (Graduate Employability Skills Report, 2007). And for that to be achieved, self-reflection is needed by each and everyone of us in order to achieve our full employability potential. Reflective practice has been identified as a method
The motivation for self- improvement is success. That is an idea I live by. In order to succeed, one must always improve their behaviors and attitudes in all areas of their lives. The saying, “there is always room for improvement” is quite parallel to the famous quote, “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. '
