Values are viewed as objects or ideals important to an individual, called personal, or group of individuals, culture, or family. A personal value thus refers to an individual’s belief...

We see the various personalities within a team or organization; personality test have become a great way to identify strengths and weaknesses of individuals. After taking the Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment Library test I discovered that I scored highest for “how satisfied I am with my job”. I believe the economy and job market played a part in my answers and scored the lowest for “how involved I am with my job” (Pearson Education, 2008, I.B.2). My Jungian 16-Type Personality was revealed to be an ENTJ (Pearson Education, 2008, I.A.2) on the previously Typology test I was an INFJ. The assessment revealed that I am for diversity, and I have a flexible view of others. The survey did confirm my leadership style of me being task oriented, even with my concern for others I work in a metrics and customer service driven work environment so the goal is always about completing the task and satisfying the customers. Step 1 Part 1: What about me? The first part of the Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment is titled “What about me?”.

...For my artifact, I created a Literacy Assessment and Summary report over detailed information gathered from my assigned student from the Community Development Lab. My student was a five-year-old girl who I had the opportunity to get to know through one-on-one and observations. I began working with my student on February 6th , when I conducted the first ELQA test to determine her literacy knowledge. Once I completed assessing my student, I was able to obtain her scores and assess her weaknesses and strengths, which was an important factor in completing the artifact. Additionally, I analyzed her scores from the first ELQA to create an informal assessment targeting her weakness of expressive vocabulary and print concepts. Furthermore, each week I conducted an observation with or of my student in several circumstances and I noted her behaviors, actions, and environment....

...Personal Values and Kudler Fine Foods The Williams Institute of Ethics Awareness Inventory assists individuals in determining one’s personal values and ethical style. The assessment identifies four primary values that one possesses with regard to ethics. These values are character, obligation, results, and equity. One who values character tends to base their ethical perspective on what it is good to be, rather than what it is good to do. One who values obligation tends to base their ethical perspective on an individual’s duty or obligation to do what is morally right. One who values results tends to base their ethical perspective on the results or consequences of their actions. Finally, one who values equity tends to base their perspective on ethics on a concern for the instability of knowledge, the uncertainty of human judgment, and the lack of individuals who can truly qualify as experts in the discernment of what is right and what is wrong. (THE WILLIAMS INSTITUTE FOR ETHICS AND MANAGEMENT , 2008). Upon completing the assessment I discovered my values to revolve heavily around character. In the following paper I will describe my values, how my values align with the values of Kudler Fine Foods, and how this would affect my performance if I were a manager at Kudler. Bases on my results of the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Assessment my values revolve heavily around character. Regarding my ethical perspective “(I) believe that ethics should focus on ways to help...

...believe that the root cause of most employees’ performance problems is related to who they are (their personality) rather than what they do (their behavior.) They tend to communicate the belief -- often unintentionally -- that performance problems are related to personality. The solution is therefore to change the employee through some process or to get another employee. This not only doesn’t work but communicates blame to employees from a moral perspective. Personality Insight Big Five Model After completing the Big Five Model, the five-factor model of personality, results revealed my personality to be introverted, moderately agreeable, moderately dependable and responsible, possessed with negative emotional stability, and conventional in experiences (Robbins and Judge, 2007, p. 108). As an adult now, I often reflect on my personality and find certain characteristics that are a lot like those of my mother. According to Robbins and Judge, “The heredity approach argues that the ultimate explanation of an individual’s...

...Personal Values Management 521 March 22, 2010 Personal Values Personal values are a special trait within an individual, which represent beliefs, and purpose. These values represent who individuals are and can be used as a guide throughout life. Values can also guide an organization and define how people interact with one another and can reveal what an organization values most. Organizational values are a starting point for any business, which can include many elements from ambition and competency to integrity and flexibility. This paper will reveal how my personal values align with an organization’s values such as Kudler Fine Foods. The results from the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness inventory will identify how these personal values would impact performance if I were a manager at Kudler Fine Foods. Personal Ethical Perspective and Style After completing the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness self-assessment, I learned that my ethical perspective is focused on character and what it is good to be, rather than what it is good to do. The assessment also revealed that I believe ethics should focus on ways to help people achieve more excellence and that I tend to look beyond individual actions and examine character. My ethical style indicates that ethics relies on the ability of individuals to make sound morale judgments and that I value qualities such as honesty, wisdom, and integrity (Williams Institute Ethics, 2006).

...Personal Values Personal Values MGT/521 September 6, 2010 Personal Values Completing the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Inventory self-assessment gave me a great perspective on my ethical and personal values. It was spot on about me. It explained that I tend to base my ethical perspective on the results or consequences of my actions. This is very true. I always like to think things through before I react, and in the back of my thought process I am ultimately thinking about the results or consequences that come from my decision to act. A lot of my personal values and morales come from my background, family and experiences. I seem to always want to help or do for others before I will take care of myself. My mother always tells me to stop trying to save people all the time. It’s so hard for me to do this because it’s in my nature to try to make every one content. The self assessment co-signed this by saying that I have a tendency to focus more on changing the overall good of society. The assessment also stated that I believe that we each have a moral right to experience the “good life”. I can agree with this. I don’t see why we as humans can’t have a happy fulfilled life. Agreeing that my focus when it comes to ethics is what can I do to improve the well being of the largest amount of people? It is a concern for me because in today’s society it is very troubling for me to see the tragedy that we cause each other. In my perfect world everyone would be understanding...

...is to reflect on Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Inventory self-assessment and my personal values in conjunction with the management values at Kudler Fine Foods. The summary of this paper will show how ethical decision- making involves three components-awareness, articulation and application that will focus on my personal values and ethics. I will focus on a number of meticulous instances, people and events that shape my beliefs or values. I will also emphasize how these values will affect the decision-making process and the impact on the Kudler Fine Foods company. I would like to implement the Value Theory and Personal value for the purpose of adding structure to my personal assessment. First and foremost, how would I define my personal values? My definition would be, what I believe in and how I am. My personal values build the way I am and shape the way I perceive things. I learned my values from a family oriented home in addition to a village that looked after me when my parents are not around. My mother stayed home and a father who worked out of state and traveled a lot. The majority of my values were urbanized from what I learned all through life. I will improve my values by living and developing better values that will benefit society and me. In doing so I will develop more and improve my values by practicing what is right or wrong. Rules can also provide a path or guideline to improve and expand values that are supplementary positive. Rules can enhance ones ethical advancement...

...2011, p. 33). The leader’s self insight exercises taking the form of questionnaires, scenarios and activities provides self-assessments for learners and opportunities to experience leadership issues in a personal nature (Draft, 2011, p. xv). Therefore, knowing each individual leader unique set of qualities, characteristics, and strengths can be beneficial to the leadership role, by giving a perspective to leadership behavior (2013, p. 33). The question in this case is; does leader’s self insight assessments proves effective for learners and offers opportunities for improving leadership? In constructing this paper it was found that chapter three and chapter four contains a total of eight leader’s self-insight exercises in the form of questionnaires, scenarios and activities, all providing self-assessments for learners and offering opportunities for leadership roles. The question remains how will we perform under pressure and respond as a work group leader while, focusing on how the leader’s self-insight contributes to the learner’s leadership development. We should find the answers from the following insights; T-P Leadership Questionnaire: An assessment of style, Are you Ready?, measuring substitutes for leadership, big five personality, measuring locus of control, instrumental and end values, what’s your thinking style , and personality assessment Jung’s typology.

...The Clifton Strength assessment taught me the most about myself, and personally, I felt it gave the most accurate description of who I am. As we have discussed in class, these assessments are only models. Although all models are ultimately incorrect, what one learns from them can be valuable. What I learned from the Clifton Strength assessment is that my five strength areas include: Achiever, Competition, Focus, Futuristic, and Significance, and that I may not know myself as well as I thought. As I read my character traits, which I did not think fit my personality, to my girlfriend, she began to laugh at me. She later said that what I was reading described my exact personality. Of these five traits, I feel that Achiever and Competition truly describe who I am. I chose Achiever and Competition because they encompass not only how I act, but how I feel. At the Academy you are told everyday what you’re not good at. Never before had I constantly been aware of my weaknesses, and my need to fix them. I knew what I struggled with before coming to the Academy, but until I got here I did not understand how much I struggled in these areas. In high school,...
