Analyzing and Identifying Your Strengths

Analyzing and identifying your strengths

* Analyzing and identifying your weaknesses

Please ensure that your report meets the following requirements:

* Be sure to incorporate data from your Iliad report; you may wish to attach the report (or specific tables/graphs from the report) to your write-up, but at a minimum you must specifically reference the data within the paper itself.

* Be sure to at least mention all five dimensions being evaluated; you may certainly go into depth on some more than others, but you must address all 5 at some level.

* Be sure to incorporate personal examples to illustrate specific strengths and/or opportunities for improvement. Reflection is a key component of this class, and you will want to reflect on your past experiences and think about key experiences in your life to make sense of your feedback report.

* Be sure to integrate and conclude with the "big picture" of your skill set. You need to view them as an integrated set and consider this explicitly within your paper.

Identify at least three specific actions you can take to address the weaknesses from A. Think about SMART goals here:

* Be specific about the action to be taken.

* Make sure the action is measurable.

* Make sure the action is achievable.

* Make sure the action is realistic.

* Define the action in a way that is time-bound (i.e., when will the action be complete?)

For each skill, make sure you can complete the sentence "I will know I have improved in this_______ skill when..."

* Discuss how and when you will review your progress toward strengthening the skill. Be sure to think both short-term as well as long-term.

* Conclude with the "big picture" view of yourself as a leader/manager. Again, think about the practices as an integrated set, and be sure to explicitly address yourself as an overall leader/manager
