...Self-Assessment Report: Communication Communication is one of the key elements needed to keep any organization functioning. Once it has been done effectively, it can lead to the promotion of socialization, motivation, and it can even help in the controlling process by monitoring every individual’s attitude and behavior in the organization. Effective communication is best understood by focusing on how the organization would be like in its absence. For instance, if an organization has no system for planning and spreading out information about upcoming events to be held by the said organization, and the officers and members only interact minimally, there is transparency in the future failure of the events to be held. I am a member of De La Salle University’s Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (DLSU-JPIA) and I must say that communication in any form makes the organization’s activities successful. I am not yet part of any committee in the organization but I can already point out the significance of communication in the organization. Events like general assemblies, parties, tutorials, etc. are always done successfully and are attended by a big number of students not only from the organization but also non-members who must have heard about it through the impressive promotion of the events. But just like any other organizations, the communication aspect in DLSU’s JPIA is not perfect. There are events wherein attendants would rather do their own business halfway through the...

...Communication style can be summed up as, the way one is perceived by others vs. how one perceives themselves and the way one interacts with others. The text “Interpersonal skills in Organizations” talks about how behaviour, personality and attitude are key factors in determining communication style. Before reading chapter 1 of the above text, I would have said that my communication skills could be heavily worked on. I am generally very shy and nervous when it comes to talking to people I don’t know and am worried about what others will think about my own thoughts and ideas. Although I am very open to others ideas and am able to see how one idea would work the same as another would, I tend to be afraid of how one might take my own interpretation. After reading the text and doing exercise 1-A and 1-B I realised that my self- evaluation of myself was not far off at all. Scoring moderately in “emotional stability” and “extroversion” shows that, although I am rather shy I am also able to work with others, even if I prefer to do solo work and am well rounded when it comes to my opinions and the options of others. My high ratings in “open to experience” and “agreeableness,” back up my theory that I am much more reserved, although I like to learn new things and look at situations from many perspectives. Having a more low or “flexible” score in “conscientiousness” for me means that as the interpretation sheets says, I am “spontaneous, unconcerned with deadlines, adaptable, fickle, impulsive...

...Plan Self Assessments are quizzes that help evaluate employees on their skills, interests, personality, and values. “As ethical problems have increased in organizations, integrity tests have gained popularity. These paper-and-pencil tests measure factors such as dependability, carefulness, responsibility, and honesty; they have proven to be powerful predictors of supervisory ratings of job performance and of theft, discipline problems, and excessive absenteeism” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, pg. 1). As a manager for Riordan Manufacturing, three employees took a series of self-assessment tests for my organization. The analysis and interpretation scores of all three are positive and all three would make a great contribution to the organization. Positive people cognitively process more efficiently and are more productive. Job Satisfaction and Engaged High job satisfaction was above the range that determines lower levels of absenteeism, and their general attitude toward work is positive. Their engaged scores were also high, which defines these employees are in a positive state of motivation and fulfillment. “Individuals who score high in this category are loyal, dedicated, willing to devote considerable time to work, feel inspired by and proud of their work, and become immersed and absorbed while performing their work” (Stephen P. Robbins/University of Phoenix, 2005-2009). My employees are content coming to work and will possess good work ethics and values. They are self motivated...

...Communication Development Plan Andrea Etchen LDR 5223 Dr. Angie Sokol April 30, 2016 Communication Development Plan Introduction The fundamental foundation in the Leadership Communication textbook is that “effective leadership depends on effective communication” (Barrett, 2014, p. 4). Without effective communication, leaders accomplish little (Barrett, 2014, p. 4). The lack of communication from a leader, makes him or her not a leader (Barrett, 2014, p. 4). Mastering communication for leadership allows for leaders to move into leadership positions and lead a group to a common goal (Barrett, 2014, p. 5). Effective leadership communication requires the leader to anticipate, transmit, appreciate, understand, and craft messages to reach the wanted recipient as intended (Barrett, 2014, p. 7). Current Assessment Leadership Communication Ethos/Image Based off of the Self-Assessment of Leadership Communication Capabilities, my leadership communication regarding ethos and image are acceptable, but could be worked on as I scored a 3.5/5.0 (Self-Assessment of Leadership Communication Capabilities). This result showed me that my strengths were in relation to my understanding of how people viewed me and my willingness to improve. I am aware of myself enough to see how me leadership style is and how it affects others. But my weaknesses could hinder this, as I do not like to ask for opinions of my style and I lack confidence (Self-Assessment of Leadership Communication Capabilities)...

...Prior to taking the self-assessments, I did not know where I stood in terms of my communication skills. I was expecting to find more weaknesses than strengths because of my personality type. I am an introvert. I have always had trouble connecting with people because I was either too shy or too anxious. I was afraid of the way people perceived me and I feared that I would embarrass myself at any given moment. Throughout my life, I have always tried to understand what made communicating with others so easy. I simply kept an open mind. I did not want to negate potential friendships or opportunities to grow personally. When I completed the self-assessment that determined my strengths and weaknesses, I was surprised to see that I had done better than I thought I would. Opening up my mind helped me see a variety of perspectives and it even helped me know myself better. According to the self-assessment, I am a good listener. I knew this already because I like to give the other person time to thoroughly explain their point of view. Another one of my strong suits is interpersonal communication. I am effective in...

...The five self-assessments are things I know about myself but never asked why; or I just didn’t think about them. Furthermore, these self-assessments indicate areas where I need improvement, and will also serve to help me in my professional and personal lives. I scored a fifty-two (52) on the communication quiz, which indicates I’m a capable communicator but sometimes experiences communication problems. It is interesting to note that 87% of the class scored within my range of thirty-six to fifty-five (36 – 55). My lowest scores were in Planning Your Message and Encoding. In order to become a better communicator, I plan to perfect my listening skills and be more conscious of planning how, when, and what I say. On the Problem-Solving Skills self-assessment quiz I scored a fifty-seven (57), revealing my approach to problem-solving was “hit or miss.” The low scores I received on the quiz were in Find the Problem and Find Ideas. I answered the questions based on my extensive knowledge of the...

...in the syllabus, is to provide undergraduate business students with tools for communicating effectively in “complex environments,” such as the business world. And while students have exercised the writing tools provided in the course to achieve effective communication skills multiple times, the oral content in this course has not been as frequently practiced by the students as needed. To collect data for this report, I researched successful communication techniques taught by different organizations; I also interviewed fellow classmates. This report presents data describing the significance of the problem, two alternatives, and a recommendation based on my various research. Limited Opportunities to Improve Oral Communication Skills Technological tools, like computers, can be used as an effective means of communication by sending an electronic email within seconds to convey a message. However, there’s nothing more powerful in the “hierarchy of communication” than the “face-to-face interaction with someone,” according to Edward Wilczynski (2009). And the only way to master this crucial channel of communication is through practice (Irish, Tiede, & Weiss, 2004). 1. Our class has practiced oral communication twice this semester—in the elevator speech and the informative presentation. Through these assignments we were able to achieve the following: 1. 2. 2. Introduce ourselves to an audience 3. 3. Inform our target audience about a particular...

...William Ward has been in a leadership role for the past six years. Currently, he has a staff of five that ranges in age, gender, experiences, and personalities. Ward believes that one’s personality characteristic contributes to the leadership style one uses in their current role as a leader. A series of self-assessment tools was taken by Ward which has contributed to the development of his personal characteristics profile. This paper will include a discussion of Ward’s personal characteristics, self-assessment results, a summarization of self-assessment results, and an analytical view of how attributes/scores relate to his relationships and career choices. Based on life experiences, the development of personality characteristics tends to come to the forefront of one’s identity. Ward believes that he is flexible, versatile, motivated, personable, diplomatic, tactful, poised, and competent with demonstrated ability to easily transcend cultural differences. The “Are You Left or Right Brained” activity indicates that Ward is “Left Brained.” Since Ward is Left Brained, he is logical, reliable, rational, and enjoy schedules and routines. He also likes to know he can count on things, and change is difficult to deal with. Ward is interested in working with numbers and following rules, with little-to-no interest in less structured subjects. As a manager, he works hard to build his skills as it relates to his management foundations. As it relates to leadership, Ward wants to inspire...
