Professional Development PlanProfessional Development PlanIn my management class, I learned that doing an SWOT analysis was a good technic for knowing the people on your team. Now that I am in Organizational Leadership it is best to do DISC to perform a Professional Development Plan for your business to understand the different personalities of your teammates. The Professional Development plan is to determine the strengths and weaknesses on the team members to make it calmer to give tasks for the group. Team B members have all the great leadership skills with the urgency to learn and complete outstanding work together. The first week of class we accomplished a DISC assessment that recognized our traits. According to “Disc Profile” (n.d.), “The initial DISC model comes from Dr. William Marston, a professor at Columbia University in the 1920s, who was curious about the behavior of normal people. He did not create an instrument from his theory, but others did” (Disc Overview). As a possible leader of this team, I was able to inspect my own leadership styles and apply that to the assignment that we are to develop this week in class and lead them to accomplishing our goals for this course.
My DISC assessment decided that I was the Steadiness personality style. I defiantly could see this as my personality style assessment. The general characteristics for me are that I am a great listener, team player, very possessive, steady, predictable, understanding and so friendly my friends cannot stand it. The value to my team is on point with my character because I am very reliable I do not like leaving people stuck out. I was taught that my word is important and when broken people would not trust me. I never wanted to be someone that you could not trust. I am reliable, loyal team worker, patient, empathetic, and great on reconciling conflicts. My possible weaknesses are not far off either I must say, that I do resist change; it truly takes me a long time to adjust to changing. I am practicing on not holding
I started to think about what had happened and had a good start. I went to the school of psychology, which is where psychology is now (though it isn’t taught in a standard school). I studied psychology of relationships and other situations such as relationship stability, conflict resolution, leadership, trust, social interaction and a couple of related categories. In the course of my studies I developed new skills i.e.:
Ability to be consistent
Ability to work with others
Ability to do hard work
Ability to accept change so that people are happy
Ability to learn other people’s strengths – even in their own time of need. I also used to be a nice person and would play a lot of games! When I got into my house I could just hang out with my friends at my place for a while. As I used to find I could come up with new ways to get to know others. We would laugh, ask each other a few times and do new things, I learned my role in the whole game. I was able to do this on my own, working alone, out of house or with few friends. My relationship with the program was even improved. It was not a lot of work but its really a lot of fun and rewarding!
When we finished learning about my personality my friends were actually looking at us and asking us questions. I wanted to teach them something, they asked some of the questions first, then asked my personality style and then again, asked me any questions. The idea was to share ideas and share my learning with them; there were few surprises for me in college. My first year they didn’t mind if I said some more or I would say something or go to the movies and ask people about my personality style. My first year I have had some really funny students but it was only because they were able to really understand and share how I went to the movie and talked with him, they were more interested in my personality because it showed the connection that I had with them and my life.
I became extremely involved in my program because I started looking at other people and taking part in the development of my own personality style and the program was based on that. I had a lot fun with it and learned a lot! I have learned so much from my personality (the most important trait is how to show you are who you actually are) and I am truly thankful for it. It didn’t take me long to know I was different from everyone and that everything was my dream to be different 🙂
In addition to studying psychology the students are also very active and fun. The program has a daily activity of playing games, reading news articles in various countries and in the evenings a family member.
I started to take classes with friends first, I also started to read and read reviews on a monthly basis. I also tried to do daily life activities to stay fresh so I could learn how to get my focus back.
While I am going through my career I would love to share with others about this project and others of my own personality style. I also hope in this post you will understand what a great way this project is going to help you and show
