I am therefore, making an action plan on how to correct my deficiencies and to improve on my weaknesses’. This will allow me to take advantage of my strengths to obtain the skills that I want to have and quality of a person that I want to be.

Now, as the semester comes to an end, I must look at what progress I have made towards this goal. By re-examining the work that I have done this semester I can evaluate where I have made improvements, what areas still need work and whether my participation in this class has been effective in achieving this goal.

...included dos and don'ts for each, based on research and our experience in developing a mentoring program at Brown-Forman Corporation. 1. What are our business reasons for developing a mentoring program? You should develop a mentoring program if and when you have solid business reasons, such as to speed up the development of future leaders or to share organizational knowledge. Do your homework. Look at employee retention rates, the percentage of senior managers who will reach retirement in the next five to 10 years, current bench strength, and developmental objectives. Don’t develop a mentoring program because it’s popular or because you've read that it works for other companies. 2. What organizational support exists and what needs to be developed? Successful mentoring initiatives require visible support and involvement from the highest levels of the organization. Do develop a mentoring program when senior leadership at your company supports it and because mentoring supports your company’s values and goals. Don’t develop a mentoring program if you don’t have the support of the highest levels or if mentoring isn’t valued. 3. What are our criteria for success? Do set long-term goals that will help your company, such as making your...

...Objectives' (MBO). This MBO concept was popularized by Peter Drucker. It suggests that objectives should not be imposed on subordinates but should be decided collectively by a concerned with the management. This gives popular support to them and the achievement of such objectives becomes easy and quick. Management by Objectives (MBO) is the most widely accepted philosophy of management today. It is a demanding and rewarding style of management. It concentrates attention on the accomplishment of objectives through participation of all concerned persons, i.e., through team spirit. MBO is based on the assumption that people perform better when they know what is expected of them and can relate their personal goals to organizational objectives. Superior subordinate participation, joint goal setting and support and encouragement from superior to subordinates are the basic features of MBO. It is a result-oriented philosophy and offers many advantages such as employee motivation, high morale, effective and purposeful leadership and clear objectives before all concerned per-sons.

...Richard Dana Associates (RDA) was brought in by the owners of a family-owned business with complex relationship issues at a time preceding an anticipated leadership transition. Following individual and group coaching sessions, RDA was able to help the leadership separate personal issues, and codify practices through formal policies to allow the leadership group to focus on business issues without personal complications. At the end of RDA's engagement, the client was well-positioned to begin developing a transition plan. Bob, founder, CEO, and owner of a 20-year-old, closely-held business, hoped to groom his 30-year-old son, Jack to take over the business in the next five years. The firm was currently co-run by Betty, the COO and Operations Manager. She was a longtime employee of the firm, and also had been Bob's life partner for most of that time. Both Jack and the firm were at a critical juncture, if Jack and the firm did not make a mutual commitment to each other in the next year or so, Jack would likely pursue alternative career options, closing a window of opportunity. And yet Jack was not privy to many of the decisions and financials underlying the company information that would allow him to make an objective decision about his future role in the firm and no plan existed to manage the transition. Jack and Bob's personal relationship had grown estranged, and both prone to intense emotional responses to work and personal issues. In addition, Betty felt that Jack...

...in all that I do at home and at work. So what is success, in its simplest form it is accomplishing or achieving what you desire or set as a goal. Then academic success is achieving or obtaining that degree and continuing academic success is the process of taking what you learn at school out into everyday life and your job. For me success is taking control of my education, abilities and skills to help me achieve my goals. Before I can do this I must establish a plan and define my goal or goals. So how do I reach this goal? That is a question many of us face, in many aspects of life. In reaching a goal it must first be defined and measureable. Effective goal setting is a key to success in whatever you do. According to (Morisano, Hirsh, Peterson, Pihl, & Shore, 2010), failure to have clear goals has led to students dropping out of college. When establishing a goal, an important question to ask is, why. Not knowing why you desire a goal will lead to a good chance of losing direction and site of the goal. Resulting in either the goal being delayed or worst, never achieved. With your goal set and in writing you become focused, responsible, accountable and understand the goals rewards. Knowing the reward will provide the motivation that will keep you focused on the goal in the face of adversity. In order to accomplish this goal a plan is in order. In this plan you will be able to identify your timeline, available resources, and potential...
