How I would respond to the peace of the environment IV. How I would respond to rules and procedures set by others Most people are aware of and sensitive to the ways with which they prefer to be communicated. I am conscious that if I am able to communicate with other people I will succeed in any industry. I could begin by developing a chart where I include a description of the typical people in which I might interact. Also, I might have to practice some flexibility in varying my communication style with others that may be different from myself. This flexibility and the ability to interpret the needs of others is the mark of a superior communicator. For instance, when communicating with a person who is dependent, neat, conservative, perfectionist, careful and compliant: • Prepare my case in advance • Stick to business • Be accurate and realistic Factors that will...

...CAREER PLAN BUILDING Name MGT/521 June 3, 2013 DENNIS BOEDEKER CAREER PLAN BUILDING Understanding ones strengths is very important to grow as a communicator and manager. By knowing what competencies he or she excels in, they can use them as an advantage at home and in the workplace. In my case, the career plan building activity showed my strongest competency to be innovation. In order to be a successful manager; one must embrace new ideas and change with technology. Although it is comfortable to stick with what works, it is important to make sure to filter in new ideas and continue to get better. Entrepreneurial thinking is one of my weakest competencies according to the career plan building activity. I would have to agree with this considering I hate to take risk. I love to innovate and try new ideas as long as there is no risk. This is definitely an area that I need to work on as a manager. It is so easy to invest on a sure thing, but sometimes some initiative and the need to take a chance is a necessity. In closing, I think all of my competencies need to be worked on to become a better communicator. The career plan building activity scored me high for innovation and average for all my other competencies. New to the area of management, it is obvious I have a large amount of work to strengthen my communication skills. Instead of staying content in a practical job, I think I need to step out of the box to enhance my future. The career planner should guide...

...Running head: CAREER PLAN BUILDING ACTIVITY Career Plan Building Activity Tiffany East BCOM/275 3/11/14 Dr. Joanne Tritsch Career Plan Building Activity I took the Career Interest Profiler quite a while back. I do not recall the testing method, but while viewing the results I do recall the impression it left on me. According to my results, I was assigned conventional, social, and realistic aptitudes. I agree with this assessment; the description seemed to describe the needs in my current career. According to the profile, “conventional occupations frequently involve following set procedures and routines” (University of Phoenix, 2014). In my role as a trainer and Continuous Improvement, this was my job description exactly. The Social Aspect perfectly aligns with my strong communication skills and mentoring roles I have adopted with many employees. The last of the profile indicated ‘realistic’ aptitude, which lends itself to “practical, hands-on problems and solutions” (University of Phoenix, 2014) which is also the goal of Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement. I cannot say I agreed with the career matches, but in all other aspects, the profile was correct. The Career Plan Building Activity: Competencies was completed a while ago, and I cannot recall the questions it uses to assess to competencies. The report does not provide detail, but I can comment on the results I have available. The highest competency...

...Business Communications and Critical Thinking along with the Career Plan Building Activities are invaluable when thinking about the future. Any good business person has a strong base that is universal across the board and that base is their ability to effectively communicate. Knowing a person's strengths and weaknesses is important when trying to effectively communicate. Knowing your own strengths, wants, and weaknesses are even more important within the business community. The Career Plan Building Activities allow a person to gauge what is needed on a very basic level. The goals wanted along with the environment that is preferred can all rule out entire professions from a person's repertoire. These types of activates are truly a blessing since they allow the taker to gain insight and knowledge that is otherwise hard to gain. Business Communications and Critical Thinking is just as valuable as the Career Plan Activities since it provides a secure and stable base with which to start your professional persona upon. Communicating in a clear and professional manner is a skill that is required in any and all professional work settings. Having the skills to determine what form of communication is appropriate and to be able to accurately judge the audience's needs and wants can be applied in every aspect of a person's work performance. These two resources are important to the development of a career plan. A career plan will dictate what profession is desired and provide basic...
