Every individual has different personality traits and tendencies. Managers need to recognize these differences and develop a plan for cohesion and stability. In the University of Phoenix class Organizational Leadership, the members of Learning Team B have all taken DiSC Assessments to understand better these traits and tendencies. In the following paper I will outline a professional development plan for these members both individually and as a group with my ability to lead them. Ebony Ingram Ebony Ingram is an Assessor (Ci) with a predominately cautious style. The assessor is “less guarded and less indirect than most other cautious styles” (University of Phoenix, 2015). An assessor is a wonderful asset to have on a team because they can have great intuition with a head full of knowledge through detailed evaluation. The negative of this style is that even though Assessors are quick thinkers, they may be slow to take action (University of Phoenix, 2015). This is something to keep in mind when putting together a professional development plan with contrasting personnel working together. Rasha Long Rasha Long is a Go-Getter (Sd) with a predominately steadiness style. The go-getter is “less open and less indirect than most other steadiness styles” (University of Phoenix, 2015).

The DISC Platinum rule is a behavioral style assessment that breaks down an individual’s predominate behavior styles; dominate, interactive, steadiness, and cautious. There are sixteen sub-styles that further attempt to explain the results. "Learning Team D" is comprised of three members, and not one of them has the same style. One of the team members predominate style is dominated, one member style is cautious, and the third member is steadiness. Those who have the dominate style are driven self-starters who are fast-paced, goal oriented, decisive in their actions and decisions, and are more at ease when they have freedom to manage themselves and others.

Each week the team could be assigned a weekly project. This could be a difficult chore in the beginning since no one in familiar with each other. Each person has their own personality and ways to do projects, which could be very different from their other teammates. My objective is to complete a professional development plan that will help us work as a team and work towards a common goal. An individual or a team uses a professional development plan so that they have set goals and strategies to achieve the same goal at the end of the period (Multiprofessional Faculty Development, 2012). To help me develop this plan each team member has been asked to take the DISC Assessment. DISC is a personal assessment used to determine behavior types, and how to interpret the behavior (DiSC Profile, n.d.). The DISC assessment has four styles it uses as a determination. They are Cautious (C Style), dominance (D Style), interactive (I Style) and steadiness (S Style). A cautious person is detail orientated, a slow worker and has very high expectations for themselves. A person who is dominance is very goal orientated, need control and must achieve their goals. A interactive person is very enthusiastic, must have acknowledgment and has great people skills.

...Development Plan Kenneth Metcalfe LDR/531 April 5, 2016 Brian Polding Professional Development Plan Working in a learning team is challenging because of the different dynamics of the individuals assigned to the team. Each individual has different characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. As the team leader the application of the following professional development plan, based on the team member’s DISC behavioral assessment, will provide a means to identify the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, and outline a means the team leader can use to communicate with each behavioral style. The plan will also explain how an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the styles provides direction for improvement to achieve personal career goals. The individual’s assessments place the members into three of the four styles; Cautious Style, Steadiness Style, and Dominance Style. Since additional members may be added to the team or included in future learning teams, the professional development plan will also include the Interactive Style. Understanding the differences between the behavioral styles is instrumental for a team leader to know “how to engage others whose own DiSC styles may be quite different” (Sugerman, 2009, para.9). Team DISC Overview A company named Kudu Industries and Murray Janewski developed the DISC assessment to determine an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, as a means to identify how to communicate more effectively (Sugerman, 2009). “DiSC research shows...

This learning team has five members including myself as the manager. The goal will be to view the results and figure out how each team member will work separately as well as within a group setting. The benefit of the assessment is to have each team member assess their skills, strengths, areas needing improvement, and the resources needed to help them reach their goals. As stated, Learning Team A took the DISC assessment, and the findings are as follows: Brian was considered Dominate, KinyaMantesha was assessed to be cautious, and Sarah, Shadonta and Evita was evaluated to be interactive. Evita will be taking the lead as manager of the group and will try to best describe how the learning team can collaborate as a team to complete the learning team projects moving forward. Each individual can thrive separately and get things done, but the DISC assessment was completed to see how each person could thrive within a team setting. Brian was the only one in the learning team that was considered dominant. Brian can best be described as a delegator, he would be best suited as the teacher, and he would rather lead than follow. He is direct, and very decisive. This individual will be great in a team setting since he is also someone that is a...

...Abstract Failing to communicate and collaborate in crisis or emergency situation will undoubtedly increase the vulnerability of an organization toward potential crisis. This paper highlights the significance of effective communication and collaboration at different levels in the event of or during a crisis. This is a case of a cyberattack against Sony Pictures Entertainment once on December 3, 2014 and another attach on December 8, 2014 was considered for the purpose of this research. These cyberattack shows how techniques are not just a strategic weapon to bring down societies or to terrorize societies. But it shows that attackers are getting increasingly comfortable with using cyberattacks and can quite easily gain access to consumer personal information, business information, and employee information and can bring a company to its knees. The recent attacks not only on Sony but also Home Depot, Target and others are raising concerns. What needs to be done? The attacks are becoming more frequent, more invasive and the attackers are being bold. Should there be collaboration between businesses to combat the rising issues? Will this change the way that others businesses work together? What role does the government have in protecting citizens and their right to privacy especially from foreign attackers? These issues are significant as they underline the element of crisis communication and collaboration. Introduction In the face of increasing business demands for...

Motivation is defined as the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal (Robbins & Judge, 2012). As the business world becomes increasingly more diverse, it is important that managers develop ways to handle the variety of motivations they will encounter in the work day. There are many approaches to motivating employees and many ways for employees to accept it. Motivation is the crucial element in setting and attaining goals.
