Developing Global Management Competencies Level 6 Regent college

1.1 Self-awareness

Managers play a very crucial role in almost all set of organisations that are operating in today’s contending business environment. They are largely responsible to motivate the employees working under them and are hence required to stay inspired all the time (Dragoni & et.al., (2014). For this purpose, there exists some vital concepts of self-awareness and self-development that assists an individual to become a successful leader or manager at the end. It is also on referring to another most important aspect of the managers who are always accountable for bringing positive outcomes at the workplace which comes from the work done by others under his or her supervision.

For being effective in all of these areas, the leaders at the managerial position are required to possess a strong emotional self-awareness. This is apparent to permit the leaders in identifying any gap in the managerial skills. It is basically to determine their own strengths and weaknesses to further work upon the areas that are needed to be improved Parida & et.al., (2015). Such clear identification of one’s own strengths and weaknesses in turn helps the individual to take discerning decisions and efficiently encourage the workers to bring positive outcomes. Although, it together requires some pivotal considerations such as having an open mind to accept other opportunities that are more inventive and composed of unique opinions. Also, up keeping self-discipline is another way to be self-aware and get positioned as a successful leader or manager.

One more element of continuous self-development is also evident to assist in fulfilling the role of a successful leader or manager in the future. It is due to the fact of getting constant up gradation of one’s existing knowledge that in turn assists in building potential skills required to lead the managerial position and guide others in a well competent manner. The concept of continuous self-development must be prioritised by all individuals with a special involvement of leaders operating at managerial position with a prime responsivity of developing others (Parida & et.al., (2015). This particularly necessitates a leader to possess some softer skills like a significant ability to communicate and handle any conflicting or sensitive situation at work. Other than this, it is also required to develop one’s existing skills at both personal and professional levels to have an efficacious future with constant aspects of learning on constant basis. This however necessitates the leaders and manager to get committed towards the aspect of lifelong learning through hard work.

Leader is the person in the organisation who create more opportunity and growth for the organization development. This may creates new possibilities or development growth in employee behaviour. Overall, it helps to bring the overall objectives or take care the needs of employee behaviour or task oriented goals. Self awareness is the terminology that has been widely discussed in not only psychological but also business and managerial perspectives. Self awareness is the best duty to upgrade the knowledge and self development process. In order to meet the needs of the organisation or employee motivation. Leaders motivate them to all towards their best objectives and target market plans.

1.2 Continuous Self-development

It also helps to achieve the best productive task making goals. Besides, task oriented goals and best productive nature of fulfilment of goals and objectives. It is the overall process of making good task oriented goals and best productive task process. There are various benefits of self awareness through individual can easily full fill their basic requirements n target market goals for their future objectives. Besides, leaders always understand the needs and wants of the employees in order to full fill their employee moral. It will be more challenging and task oriented to full fill the basic requirements. Along with that, task oriented or self development must be going in continuous manner. It is the process making goals and objectives. It is the process of making good task oriented working conditions.

A good leader will always protect the management from uncertainties and maintained objectives into their best productive manner Parida & et.al., (2015). Along with that, it also makes fulfilled the target of the company in to their own skills or knowledge.

In order to full fill the basic needs and wants individual always needs to adopt best and positive activity or adopt new learning for their self development. It gives new strength and task oriented goals. It gives positive impact on the behaviour of individual. Self awareness helps individual to grow more in their future in order to get the best future goals objectives. Leaders always listening good skills and wants of the organisations. This is the overall good process of making good future objectives and future planning. To become good manager and leader individual needs to carry out their self assessment in order to meet the needs of organisation goals. To become good leader or a manager individual required to acquire positive thinkings and task oriented goals. Leader will always ready to learn new skills and techniques in order to modify their won skills and wants. This overall development process will help to get the better opportunity in future times.

Q2. Template One: Incident from Residential weekend

My chosen toolkit is: Questioner

My results for this toolkit are: Positive result and of my toolkit is to improve myself in managing the retention of employees as I am the HR manager and improvements in the employees skills is needed also.

Summary of critical incident

My chosen toolkit is Retention of employees.. At organizational premises, I have noticed that the critical incident which was quite interesting to me. It was taken place after watching the activities in the organization. I given some questionnaire to be filled by the the employees. Positive feedback from my contribution to the team impressed me. Most of the time feel disengaged. In my opinion, it is not good for any organization If their employees are leaving jobs. It was helpful of the organization that if retention rate is falling than to develop skills and generating other ideas for retention of employees. It good to me that I really may be good at inspiring others. I start to understand myself and prefer team role better and also give information about the team that retention of employees is increased by efficient and supportive team work. It does not mean that team work is the main factor of increasing the retention of employees but it can be improve to lot if team work is efficient (Kotabe, 2018). I searched a lot about the retention and motivational tools but I found it is not good to relate the motivation and retention of employees to tools and techniques. Organization atmosphere create a environment which is helpful to employees and also for organization as if rate of retention fall, it increasing the cost of recruitment and selection process. I believe that I can participate in the work what follows. I can listen advise and provide support to both employees and organization. I should not think less of myself.

 

How does your thinking and behaviour in this critical incident reflect the findings of your chosen self-analysis toolkit?

To evaluate the critical incident and support finding with theory. According to the feedback, I got from my team at office premises is my blind spot on my Johari windows. I am seen the confident person in my team work and the group task. I think and analysis when things are done unhealthy. which I know I am not confident but I used the tool Personal competence model questionnaire to be filled with the team. This toolkit provides better self assessment of work within diverse groups (Kerzner, 2018.). According to this model of questionnaire, people seems to be more confident and more initiatives but the results are not quite seems to be good as employees are working in great pressure and in un- healthy environment. Employees are not happy from the rules and policies of organisation. This model came to know that things which are not going good should be improve, I hold strong in my words until my message is passes across. I could do this before in my life Spain but if my team, my mentors are not happy from any things, I would always go against it nit for personal issues but in order to identify the weakness strength of individual and also the of organisation, then from there we would be able to work in accordance. Even I feel some time discourage from the organisation but sometimes I found myself wrong and sometimes company but retention of employees of any organisation should be manage because it is not easy to recruit and select and trained another person.

 

Identify how you will use this learning in the future.In my future career as a HR or as leader, I would take advantages of opportunities and make my team workers to use the opportunities in same concern. I found that in retention of employees and in even my stay in the organisation, It needs patience and good listener quality. I didn't forget my blind spot as been a confident person, I would as well work on been a better manager or leader with my confident (Kerzner, 2018.). I would be patience in listening and I know that my team is also have this quality if listening. Every one gas some weaknesses and strength. I have a strength of a good listening capacity and able to handle the work load. And weakness is also present, that I cannot sit quite and see what is going wrong with me. In coming time, I improve myself to the best and mange the retention rate of employees not to increase and I also support the employees for their rights also.

Q2. Template Two

My chosen toolkit is: Belbin

My results for this toolkit are: To improve the roles which I have and my team-worker also to its efficient way and also develop other roles mentioned in the toolkit using BELBIN Model.

Summary of critical incident

After I identify that one team member arguing with our team member which I felt not good in the organization that member are arguing. Arguments, disputes directly affect the productivity of business. I realize that team work is very much necessary in the organization. Team work lead us building good working relationships within the organization. Team work develop high-performing skills, raise self awareness and bring effectiveness in personality. I have done my analysis very seriously and I have score that indicates my personality. With this analysis I realize that no work can be undertaken ignoring the team mates and none of work would be completed if there is no team work. We know that all the members is not same, all are different in thinking and capacity. If all the team workers are efficient, team work is good but if there is lack of any in any member than it is very difficult to manage and result in bad team work. However, almost people have a mix of characters. The strength and weakness are mostly to all member. It is not necessary that team have nine member with different roles. Fully committed to the task and trying to make things perfect. I did not realize taking control of the activity in the place of team leader.
