Individual Reflection: Blueprint for Professional and Personal Growth
Assignment: Individual Reflection: Blueprint for Professional and Personal Growth–Your Future as a Manager, with Executive Summary of Class and Collaboration Skills
As you begin this assignment, review the broad range of topics presented throughout the course related to managing people and fostering collaboration. Clearly, 8 weeks does not provide enough time to explore all the topics of this course as deeply as you might have liked. For this final Individual Reflection, select concepts or topics that resonated with you during this course and commit to learning more about them. To bring this commitment to life, identify concrete action items that will support your goal to deepen your personal learning experience in the coming year. Then, consider the following:
Note:
During this week we explored the impact of communication on job performance and commitment. We also examine strategies for communicating effectively, even in stressful situations.
The Assignment
All components of the assignment must be turned in as one document:
o Which content and assignments in this course improved your understanding of managing people and fostering collaboration within your organization (or one with which you are familiar)?
Note:
The content that this course improved my understanding of managing people and fostering collaboration was during week three. Week three topic was How Do Great Managers Improve Job Satisfaction, Commitment, and Motivation? During this week we explored how managers identify and align employees’ motivations with the organization’s goals. Examine the complex nature of motivation itself, in part by reflecting on your own personal experiences, and you analyze ways to strengthen your understanding and skills as a motivator.
o What impact has your improved understanding had or (what do you anticipate it will have) on the value you will bring to your role within an organization?
o How have the content and assignments changed the way you think of the manager’s role within the organization and the way you will practice management and collaboration?
o How have the content and assignments shaped your goals now and how do you anticipate they will shape your goals in the future?
o How has the content in this course helped you appreciate the role that managers have in facilitating positive social change within an organization or more broadly?
o How can I be sure that I will be happy in my career and be the manager I aspire to be?
o How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse/partner and my family become an enduring source of happiness?
o How can I be sure I will maintain my personal integrity, regardless of ethically challenging situations, or morally ambiguous situations? (Hint: Most people consider themselves to be ethical and would not think they could violate their personal integrity. But what would you do if your employer asked you to perform a task or make a decision you are ethically uncomfortable with (but is not illegal), when failure to carry out such a task would risk your termination, your next promotion, or upcoming pay increase? What might you do if you discovered that a task or policy you carried out in good faith had unforeseen consequences you would feel the need to correct? Seriously reflect on how you will safeguard your own integrity, even when faced with an ethically ambiguous situation, potentially harsh personal consequences, or attempting to right a wrong you may have committed.)
o Your specific goal for professional and personal development with an explanation as to why you selected the goal. Be sure to provide concrete and specific examples of why the goal is important, the extent to which this goal enables you to be an agent for positive social change, the personal or professional value you expect from achieving each goal, and how the goal relates to the resources you reviewed in the course.
o At least two objectives for the goal you have identified. Provide a rationale that explains how your objectives support the goal.
