MGMT20129 Managing People, Organisations and Context - Self Analysis, Reflection And Action Plan

Task:

This assignment builds on the summary of the competency from Assignment 1. There are three aspects to this paper. The first is an analysis of your own practice in terms of this competency by examining a recent work-related incident.  The task is to describe the behaviours exhibited  in the incident and compare these to the conceptual and behavioural characteristics of managers with the competency discussed in assignment one. In this way you can determine the extent of your knowledge regarding the competency and what you did well or what could be improved.

The second aspect is to reflect on why you did what you did! This is achieved by completing a minimum of 3 diagnostic tools, one of which can be a general management or personality test such as the MBTI, the Big Five, DISC tool etc, and a minimum of 2 diagnostic tools specifically related to the chosen competency. Students are then required to identify the results of the tools and reflect on whether they provide insight into preferences or assumptions that explain the student’s behaviours in the incident.

(Please note tools completed in other units such as the Johari Window, Leadership Styles Questionnaire or Learning styles tool, etc., are not specifically aligned to the competencies examined in this unit and are therefore deemed inappropriate for this unit).

The third aspect is to use the results of the self-analysis to identify one learning or developmental need that will enhance their competence and devise an action-learning contract that will address the issue. This means identifying a range of tasks, activities or learnings, that must be actionable and related to conceptual, behavioural or attitudinal component of the chosen competency. Examples can include identifying further units at CQUniversity, short courses offered by other providers and professional bodies, reflective journals and or industry training.

This section can be presented in either descriptive or in table form.

Please note these are the minimum requirements. Students who meet the minimum standards should not expect a grade higher than a pass.
