Assessment Task

This individual, written assignment will allow you to improve your self-awareness, and to focus your

competence development efforts this semester.

Follow the following three steps:

Step 1: Complete the competence-assessment questionnaire (which will be posted on the LMS), as a

self-assessment. Your responses to the questionnaire must be exclusively based on your own views

and judgments. You must submit (as an appendix) the completed questionnaire as part of your

assignment.

Step 2: Contact two colleagues, friends, or family members, and ask each one to complete and email

you an assessment of your competences using the competence-assessment questionnaire. You must

Prepared by Vanessa Pouthier and Franz Wohlgezogen

submit (as an appendix) the two filled-out questionnaires as part of your assignment.

Step 3: Analyse the questionnaire results, identify and unpack what seem to constitute your

particularly strong and weak competence areas, while reflecting on major differences between your

self-assessment and the two other assessments received to gain additional self-knowledge and refine

your assessment of what makes you particularly good or weak in particularly competency domains.

Think about which two competence areas you want to develop most this semester (your development

focus) and why. Then start researching and brainstorming ideas about steps you could take to improve

in your chosen areas.

Step 4: Contact your learning buddy and initiate a conversation about your reflection and further

brainstorm together steps you could take to ensure some developmental progress in your two chosen

competence areas by the end of the semester.

(Please make sure to check the learning buddy

guidelines for further details regarding this step and related expectations).

Step 5: Write a short essay (1000 words, +/- 10%, reference list excluded) based on the assessment

results. In this essay, you will:

discuss key assessment results (e.g. particularly strong/weak competence areas) and reflect

on major differences between your self-assessment, and the two assessments you received

from colleagues, friends, or family members (you need to discuss why these differences in

assessment may have occurred). Make sure to communicate clear and rich insights you have

gained into what makes you particularly strong and/or weak in particular key competency

domains.

state which two competence areas you want to develop most this semester (your “focus”), and

what motivates you to make these two competence areas your priority. Make this choice

carefully: it will be the basis for your final reflection essay.

describe some insights gained from your conversation with your learning buddy

describe two concrete steps for your personal development for each of your two chosen

competences. These steps should be feasible and relevant, i.e. you should be able to

implement them during the semester, and clearly demonstrate how they will lead to the

development of the chosen competences.

In the short essay (step 5), make use of the concepts and theories from the seminars and the

assigned materials, to support a) your analysis of assessment results, b) your choice of focus

and c) your developmental plan. We expect consistent efforts to integrate theory from class

throughout the main sections of your essay (see FAQs 9, 10 & 11).

Be sure to consider the layout and presentation of the report to ensure that it is of a professional

standard. This includes (but is not limited to) aspects such as spelling/grammar checking, formatting,

conforming to the word count limit, references, citations and the use of supporting graphics.

Make sure to carefully read the Assignment 1 FAQs at the end of this document for further guidance.

Frequently asked questions

1) Can I send the questionnaire to more than two people

Yes you can. But we strongly advise you build your analysis on two external assessments alongside your own self-assessment. Be mindful of the space constraints.

2) Can I use other personal assessment surveys in my analysis (e.g. Myer Briggs, VIA

character strengths, etc) Yes, but make sure to use the provided survey on the LMS as primary and any others as secondary/additional resources in your analysis.

3) Is there a specific methodology you are expecting us to use to analyse the results

when comparing the self-assessment with the 2 other assessments (other than

linking these to the theory) or can we be creative in the way we conduct and present

our analysis

The analysis format is up to you and you can be creative. No technical / statistical analysis is required. We also recommend doing some research on how to analyse and reflect on multi-rater/360 degree assessment results. That may give you some ideas!

4) Is it necessary to discuss all of the 11 competences

As suggested by the use of the word “key” in the description of the task, we clearly do not expect you to present a comprehensive competence profile with detailed discussion of where you stand with regard to all competencies – there is no space for that, although it’s important self-knowledge (and you may want to keep a record of all the insights gained from your in-depth analysis of all of your assessment results). Instead, in your essay, we recommend that you focus on what seem to be your key strengths and areas for improvement. You may choose for example to discuss your 1 or 2 principal areas of strength and 2 areas for improvement that feel particularly relevant to you and that you’d like to invest in this semester. As indicated in the rubric, we care about the clarity and richness of the insights you’ve gained through your analytical and reflective work into your strengths and weaknesses.

5) Do we need to comment on all the differences in assessment

Similarly, we do not expect you to comment on all gaps between your self-perception and the feedback you received from others. The differences between your own assessment and the assessments that others have done for you – or gaps in assessments – are part of the key results that you need to focus on. Look for the differences (and similarities) within and across competency domains and dwell on them to see what key insights you can gain about your strengths and weaknesses and which sub-aspects of particular competencies you think are important for you to develop further and why. The objective is to critically reflect on why the differences exist and gain self-knowledge in the process. If you are particularly surprised by some gaps (positive or negative), you may find it helpful to seek out additional feedback from your assessors to make further sense of the discrepancies, in addition to reflecting on why they may see you in that way based on e.g. past experiences.

MGMT90140 Management Competencies

6) Since I got very different results from two assessors, I asked them follow-up

questions to make sense of it. Is it OK for me to quote their answers as evidence to

support my analysis on weakness and strength You may of course use in your essay the additional feedback you solicited to make further sense of the discrepancies and gain insights into your strengths and weaknesses.

7) For the third part of the assignment, the development plan, are we required to think

about two practical ways to improve for each of the two chose competencies or are

we required to follow the immunity to change worksheets, i.e. filling out two specific

sheets for each of the competency areas

Yes please do list two concrete, specific and relevant steps for each of the two competency areas you target (that is, a total of 4 steps). Please remember that the steps can involve passive modes of learning and more active modes of learning. While you are not required to use the immunity to change framework, you may find it a helpful tool to leverage in identifying robust development steps. You may include such worksheets as appendices.

8) Also regarding the TWO steps of development plan, does it mean the two steps

should be listed in order (eg. firstly do a. and secondly do b. and there is an order

between a. and b.) or it is just two different way to develop yourself (a. and b. is not

necessarily relevant)

The two steps for each of the two competency areas do not necessarily have to build on each other.

9) Is there a minimum number of references expected for this assignment

As you can tell from the marking guidelines, we pay attention to your efforts to integrate concepts and theories from class (this includes seminars, and required readings) in your assignment, in particular the quality/effectiveness of those efforts. You may feel compelled to engage in independent research as you realise the importance of learning/increasing your knowledge base for effective competence development. If done well, integration of independently sourced materials typically translates into better critical analysis and more solid/well-informed competence development plans. You may want to think about how additional readings might support the quality of your analysis and plans and thus may improve your marks on those criteria (and more importantly your chance at more effective competence development). The key is how effectively you use those resources to support your analysis and development planning, not the number of resources used. The same holds for concepts and theories from class materials.

10) To what extent do we need to reference For example, if we mention the Johari

window in the discussions, do we need to cite the original source of this theory or

just the lecture materials When you are referring to specific insights gained from the readings (or other media) from the course (or external resources), please do cite and reference the source in your submission. When you use concepts from the lectures, make sure you name/label the concepts/frameworks explicitly in the text of your essay.

11) If I take up competencies (e.g.: Communication and Creativity) that have not been

discussed in the weeks covered so far, can I use theories from external articles or

should I make connections to the theories we have discussed so far We encourage everyone to draw on the theories from the first two weeks, given the nature of the assignment. The first two weeks of content (and readings) may prove helpful when you engage with the results from the questionnaires and when you articulate your development steps for the communication and creative problem-solving competencies (or the competencies of your choice). Substantive use (and referencing) of that material will likely strengthen your analysis and planning.

Any references to sources that relate directly to the areas you have targeted as your development focus for the semester are a plus. And yes, you are absolutely welcome to conduct some independent research to inform your self-reflection and development plan in the competency areas we have yet to cover. We generally recommend that students consult some of the required and suggested readings and/or viewings (already available under Modules/Subject Materials for the later sessions/competency domains as well) as it may help with the discussion of your strengths and weaknesses and give you some ideas for concrete improvement steps.

12) Can I choose self-awareness or self-improvement as one of the two competency

areas to focus on While you are not constrained in terms of which competency domains from class to reflect on and focus your development plan around, we usually do not encourage students to pick self-awareness or self-improvement as a target area. The risk with choosing self-awareness or self-improvement as a focus is to not be concrete enough and thus to end up with a self-development project that may not be very effective. One exception to that tends to be when students choose to focus on the following self-improvement sub-skills: time/attention management or stress management. Overall, keep in mind that self-awareness and self-improvement are muscles/skills you can/will practice in the context of a self-improvement project that targets other competency areas. Part of what we’re trying to do with assignment one (and assignment 3) is in fact to help you build up your meta-competency of self-management, hence the recommendation to keep in mind the theories and concepts from week 1 and 2 to guide your analysis, choice of focus and the development of your plan.

13) Are there any specifications about font, size, margins and line spacing to be used as

mandatory for writing our assignment There are no mandatory specifics re font size, margins and line spacing. However, when making decisions about the format and presentation of the document, always keep the reader in mind and what would facilitate readability of your document.

14) Does professional formatting of the report mean the report should have a structure

with a summary, introduction, body part, conclusion, references We reward clarity and logical organisation of thoughts. You do not need a summary, nor an

Department of Management & Marketing

MGMT90140 Management Competencies

Prepared by Vanessa Pouthier and Franz Wohlgezogen

elaborate conclusion. A reference list (APA style referencing) is needed for the resources you leverage and cite in your essay.

15) Can I use a more personal tone (e.g. personal pronoun) in this assignment

Yes, it is in fact expected of any reflective essay.

16) Are we allowed to put tables/graphs/visuals as Exhibits, at the end of our essay

Yes, you can add tables/graphs/images in an appendix if you want and guide your reader to them. However, remember that if the table, graph or image is integral to your discussion then the placement needs to be thought through. Again, the idea is to always keep the reader in mind and how you can effectively guide them through your narrative of self- awareness and self-development.

While tables and visuals are not included in the word count, you need to make sure that you are not overusing them – be judicious as to which ones to include and use them as a support not as a substitute. Using one to provide an overview of your key assessment results or to provide concrete illustrations of steps/strategies you have introduced/discussed in the core of your text would be fine for example.

Appendixes will be seen but not marked, any key insight they may contain and that you think is important to communicate to your reader should be included in the body of your essay as text.

17) Should we submit only 1 .pdf/.docx file with everything in it

Yes, you can only submit one file so you will need to merge your essay and the assessment surveys into one file and submit them all together. See details on how to merge documents under Modules/Assessment Information/Assignment 1.

18) Can you look over my assignment before I submit it

For fairness purposes, we do not read individual essays before submission. We remain available however to answer specific questions you may have regarding your essay.

19) I submitted my essay and find the Turnitin similarity score is 76% with 75% of the

similarity coming from the survey result pdf documents in the appendix, does that

matter As long as the high similarity is not linked to your discussion of assessment and development plan, it is fine. We know that the similarity percentage will be high due to the survey documents that everyone has used and submitted.
