Identify one skill you want to improve on and explain. Use the following questions to guide your analysis:
What type of assessments are you relying on?
What do they think of you? What do you think about yourself? Discuss mean scores on the skills surveys.
How do they know you? How valid and reliable is their assessment?
What are the similarities/differences between your assessment and the assessment of that this person have of you?
How do you compare to the class on your level of skill?
How do your informant’s ratings compare to the average ratings that informants have of others in the class?
The results of your skills surveys can be included as a figure/table in the
Part II – Reflect on a Real-Life Situation (5 marks)
Briefly describe the poignant points about a real-life situation you’ve experienced that can demonstrate why it is important for you to work on the skill you identified in Part I. Consider the following questions to guide your thought process:
Why would a mastery of the skill in focus have been useful/appropriate/important inthe situation?
How would the situation have been different if you had already mastered that skill at the time of the situation?
Part III – Analyze Using Theory (20 marks)
Apply one theory or concept from those studied in the course analyze/explain what you’ve learned from Part I and Part II. You may conduct additional research to find a theory specific to the skill you chose.
Examples of theories we studied in this course include theories about leadership, personality, perception, attribution, motivation, attitudes, organizational culture, etc. Use the following questions to guide your analysis:
How does the theory/concept explain your behaviours and skills and how you react in the simulation/real-life situation?
What insights are you gaining from using the theory/concept?
What did you notice that you didn’t notice before?
Part IV – Create a Plan for the Future (20 marks)
Research and develop an actionable plan to help you improve this skill in the future based on what you’ve learned in applying one theory/concept in Part III. Clearly articulate how this plan (i.e. executing these steps) will help you achieve your goals. Consider what constitutes as improvement and how you will measure it. For the measure, you should use a previously researched and validated measure of the skill; you will need to cite the academic research. This measure can be in the form of a questionnaire that you can use to measure and track your personal development in the skill that you chose.
Consider the following questions to help guide your thought process:
Based on the theory/concept you used in Part III, what should you do differently?
How will these actions align to your goals?
How feasible are these actions?
Are these actions reasonable?
