Management

Personal Development Portfolio Summary Essay Question

The challenges of contemporary management of both organisations and individuals have been brought into clear focus in 2020.  Based on your learning and reflections from at least two topics from weeks 7-11 of the module, and informed by relevant theory and research: Critically evaluate your strengths and weaknesses as a potential manager, and discuss how you intend to develop these skills in the future.

Suggested Structure

Introduction (approx. 10- 15%)

Clearly explain the scope and focus of your evaluation, identifying at least two of the topic areas covered in the module.  Tell the reader what you are including and clearly set the scene for what will follow.

Main Body (approx. 65-70%)

Divide this into appropriate sections in relation to your chosen topic areas.  For example, your first topic might discuss your skills in relation to your ability to problem solve.

Whilst you might need to describe your experience in relation to this skill, it is best to keep this brief and ensure that you are using the literature to evaluate your strengths or weaknesses.  You should draw on a real life example to support your evaluation. For example, your evaluation could discuss a time when you had to problem solve, or talk about the learning you have taken from knowing more about your personality.

You do not have to discuss strengths and weaknesses for each topic.  Problem solving might be a strength, and you can explain why this is the case.  Goal-setting might then be a weakness, and once again, explain, with a mixture of description from your experience, and using the literature why this is the case.  For each topic, clarity is important in how you reflected, what examples you have, why you perceive this to be a skill/area of development, and how you intend to use this new knowledge in your future practice.

To support your evaluation, evidence of a particular model of reflection being applied would be preferred.  It is important for you to explain not just what you consider your strengths/weaknesses to be, but why that is the case, and how you intend to develop weaker areas. 

You might use a SWOT analysis to evaluate your skills and a personal development plan as a means of evidencing your intentions to develop these.  If you use either of these approaches, it is important that you provide a detailed commentary, using appropriate literature.  The SWOT/PDP should be viewed as tools to support your reflection, not replace your reflection. 

Discussion and Conclusion (20-25%)

A consideration of the key learning points you have taken from engaging in reflective practice.  Do not just summaries what you have said in the main body, but highlight insights that have been particularly valuable. What do the results of your reflection mean to you?  How do you intend to apply what you have learned from the module in future?  How has engaging in reflective practice benefitted you?
