Giving Credit

Thanks for this tutorial!  I am a career development instructor, and this course will help the students better assess their soft skills in order to become better employees.

TIME MANAGEMENT

GREAT,PLAN,TAKE NOTES, DISCUSS, STAY ON TASK, KEEP UP WITH TIME.

Leadership

Leadership is not something you are born with, it is an act to develope. Leadership requires you to be open minded, honest, loyal and respectful. Give credit to those who has initiated the leader in you. Do not allow yourself to be the leader that no one will follow. Any person who has no one following them is just taking a walk by themselves.

Do as I do

When working with others, it is always in the best interest of employees and the company to demonstrate the behaviors expected in and of others.  Maintaining a strong ethical base can serve as a foundation for all aspects of a personal as well as professional life.  Adhering and promoting company policies should be a matter of course if one has well established ethics.  The positive benefits of modeling exemplar behavior practices will likely result in employees that follow suit and employees that have respect for their management.

Action plan

Think of your problems, come up a solution, take actions, analyze the solution, and repeat.

Action Plans

* Lead by Example

* Give credit where it is due

* Practice ethical standards at all times

Setting Personal Goals

After completing the tutorial, I have realized that though I set goals for myself to improve my performance, I should set more specific goals. Instead of "I need to get grading done faster," my goal should be more specific, for instance, "I need to complete all grading within 4 days of the due date." Another example might be instead of reminding myself that I need to give more positive feedback to my students, I should instead make a daily goal of giving positive feedback to at least 5 of my students each day.

Lead by Example

Having worked in supervisory roles in the past (now a teacher), I fully agree with the tutorial, in that supervisors should set a good example, instead of having the attitude, "do as I say, not as I do".  If the supervisor arrives late to work, so will the employees.  If the supervisor takes very long lunch breaks, so will the employees. If the supervisor does the job well, without making excuses, the employees perform well.

Reflection Plan

My reflection plan is to give special attention to the goals of personal assessment. Specifically, I would like to focus on "ensuring daily behavior is beyond reproach" by creating a routine for before and after class. I think creating more practical, specific goals will also be important for me, as I am someone who sets high, difficult and broad standards.

 

Self-Assessment

Obviously, there are certain times when we need to pause and take time to self-assess. It is easy to be critical of others and situations, but I think all people need to take the time to turn that critical eye to ourselves as well. If anything, a leader or teacher needs to set an example. Rather then complaining about the lack of professionalism or respect from others, at the same time, we should pause and think well, am I setting an example of those very traits that I want to see in others? If not, how can I improve so… >>>

Stress management

This put a lot of things in perspective for me. You have to put things in perspective for you to be an effective team member and leader. Taking time to yourself, biting off no more than you can chew, taking  breaks, speaking to someone you trust to help you make the best decisions and seeing the most of the opportunity ahead.

EAP Services

Learned that employees have major personal problems could benefit more form Employee Benefit program to assist with specialize counseling...

Work at getting a more balanced life. Take up a new hobby or sport. Try new foods. Make new friends. Travel, or get involved in the community.

Wisdom

Feedback

I learned the it is acceptable to get tohers feedback when making difficult decisions

Yoga helps on the week-ends :)

This program allows the manager to understand how to work better and to set example. After taking this tutorial, I have learned that the majority of my stress does comes from factors outside of work and ultimately affets performances. This allows me to do things that are stress free and stress reducing on the week-end or after work. I will impliment stress relieving exercises in my personal life in order for me to be a better team leader.
