Part 1 Essay

Introduction

“The men who have done big things are those who were not afraid to attempt big things; who

were not afraid to risk failure in order to gain success”. B. C. Forbes

1.1

Personal development: the need to achieve the results we achieve and the role of what skills

and their lives in general. How can we improve the talent and potential, both in and out of the

workplace?

By having a thorough understanding of what needs to be achieved and how to achieve it

through the necessary skills for a solution.

Professional development: includes the development of the role you to fully understand the

work that you do and how you can improve. This includes the skills needed to perform the

Self-managed learning in the developmental process in which adults take on full

Responsibility for Their Own Learning.

To find various ways of learning for self-managed learning in the best way. Who’s potential

in the workplace, where the retention and enhancement of the highest income achievement

and personal satisfaction of working make it possible? And social life, where the individual's

active participation in the community affect positively: the understanding of the operation

and the most important social norms of the social structures of the social environment

promote integration.

Approaches the self-manage learning:

Seminars and Conferences: Seminars and conferences are the best way of self-managed

learning, because people took part in the seminars and conferences to share ideas and

experiences that will help them to improve the development of personal skills and

personality, sharing their personal ideas coming out of new things. It also helps to improve

their self-confidence.

Social Networks: This is another way that the self-study, to socialize, you may have to the

skills.

Internet: People can learn to surf during various site-Jan items, which is connected to the

study, risk management, and many other theories of different authors. All of these people

share their knowledge with their colleagues in your own workplace

Library, books: books, newspapers lot of useful information can be obtained, we will discuss

I think there are many different ways to enhance your personal skills such as reading books,

attending personal growth coaching and by just taking a time to reflect your strength and

weakness can contribute a lot on improving yourself.

The learning under common sense, primarily for school we mean learning. But in fact, all

throughout his life learn where to consciously and unconsciously where. New knowledge,

skills, behaviours we acquire, thus our personality is constantly change.

The knowledge is the skills, abilities, attitudes the set with which the individual has. The

acquisition of knowledge is between formal, informal and non-formal settings throughout our

lives.

The formal learning is narrower sense, the school system- Primary, secondary and

vocational schools and colleges, university - teaching involves. In a broader sense, all

operations in the institutional framework of training falls into this category. The students

performed a certificate, they receive a diploma as proof of their qualifications.

Informal learning: knowledge brings almost unnoticed - lifestyle, everyday activity,

in our work - we get. Informal learning is often unnoticed, it takes place spontaneously

during some action, for example. While with colleagues or fellow students to talk, perform a

search on the internet, the parents observed on using cooking or crafting techniques, etc.

Non-formal learning within their training and information-gathering activities that do

not receive a confirmation after completing formal, state-recognized degree certificate or

diploma. In addition to the need for training and self-education prevails in the choice of

professional knowledge increases, in terms of the development of labour market

competencies.

Non-formal learning process involved in adult when e.g. .:

- A communication training involved in the formation of the company from which it

certifies;

- Participate in workplace training;

- Visit an exhibition and guided tours of the demand;

- Cultural institutions participating in events and educationallistening to a lecture;

- Participating in professional conferences;

- Go dancing every weekend hobby courses, etc.

The lifelong learning philosophy of the society and the individual responsibility of both

covers. The man that take advantage of the opportunities of learning and consciously use the

improvement of quality of life. The society is in helping members in their efforts in this

direction, special way to those who need support in this regard.

1.3

There are many benefits and positive impact on the individual student and self-managed

learning within the organization.

It also helps to learn decision-making skills through individual has personal and professional

experiences. In general, each student can learn from personal experience that can benefit the

organization in a professional manner.

While some things within the organization, such as problem solving, this type of knowledge

an individual can learn to self-managed learning, transferable skills that can be learned and

the employees in the workplace. Most organizations today prefer to move towards flexibility

that employees like to assign different tasks without personal commitments. This self-

managed learning specific may be talented to learn and build skills and aptitudes, as follows:

Teamwork skills

When one visits the self-managed learning seminars and group discussions, it will help the

individual to the repair teamwork. This not only helps people, it helps the organization to be

successful.

Presentation Skills

Does the self-managed learning, visit the seminars and group discussions with others that

will enhance personal communication and good interpersonal trust, and as a result the

students learn how to make and present lectures that have the chance to express their

knowledge and speak in front of others, and which is an advantage for an organization.

Communication Skills

Self-managed learning helps in communication and writing skills, which is very useful for

the individual and the objectives of the organization. It also helps to work independently and

as a result of their own and come up with a new concept and will share it with others, to learn

new things that do not know it all. It will be a good working environment which is beneficial

for organizational development.

(College, 2012)

3.1

Every successful organization always depends on continuously watching the progress and

development of new skills and talents, and knowledge of the essence of a person and

organization. Typically, a personal professional development plan and an action plan in

which every individual is responsible to achieve their goals and achieve your goals you need

to set it up. In terms of organization, the organization must do to achieve their aspirations and

skills.

Development plan activities:

Internet: The Internet offers many opportunities for self-improvement and professional

development. For example: Manufacturers and service providers' websites through view into

the new technology processes.

Learning through research: Research is sometimes defined as the creation of new knowledge.

External training events; these are not necessarily qualifications, these courses.

Motivational courses that can be used for personal development.

Work place project: this is the most effective solution to further develop the employees

themselves.

Seminars and conferences: The seminar education organizational solutions.

participants displayed interest in order to expand their professional skills and subjects,

exchange experiences (meetings, discussion sessions).

Interview: Talk of the colleagues who had been ranked higher job interview a lot of

advantages. So find out what expectations must be met in the future.

Social networks: Increases in this type of social network like Facebook.

Such a group offers the opportunity to join the like, which are related to our work.

News groups: Similar to social networking sites. Newsgroups allows you to do business,

professional, and technical users to interact with each other and share each other in their

ideas were.

Mentoring:Work refers to a person who is a consultant is available, such as trade issues with

a colleague. The mentor will accompany the staff in their professional development, and

shows an example of him.

Coaching:is a personalized "advice" method, which is not to give advice, but also relying on

its own resources to support the client in development. Developer, educator, trainer-type

activities, where the customer achieve a specific goal to help

Secondments:The secondment means that you leave your previous position held temporarily,

to move into a different role. It helps to know another post.Then back to the original plan can

be used effectively in the post-procedural, ideas within the organization.

Bulletin boards: a board on the wall in the office, or classroom where things (such as written

information or pictures) are that they can see most of the people.

Qualifications: There are several qualifications to be used to improve existing skills.

Based on the above, the following options are given and use;

Subject matter and content of the personal and professional development plans

The main focus is to be used for personal development plans for employees.

Based on the instructions of the PDP (Personal Development Plan) used by the users in terms

of specific areas of improvement to help individuals, according to development needs.

The relationship between focused the PDP

In order to better the performance of the existing job should be focused, concentrate on the

specific purpose of personal development plan. The development process can take the next

step in his career. This approach encourages individuals to consider the demands of their

personal and professional effectiveness and the related development.

I consider it extremely important that individual employees take the opportunity when you

feel satisfied with the planning of development projects in with things.

Execution and Support

To implement these plans for personal and professional development content faces two major

issues in the implementation and support. First, the plan, which is considered to apply to

every individual needs a lot of efforts in communication and training support to achieve your

goals. The second major challenge is self-managed learning, at some point, and most

employees need help in thinking, in their judgments of progress. In both cases, you need a

significant amount of support. In general, the implementation of support, assistance will have

to keep interest in maintaining and promoting the design of the development.

(Shashank, 2014)

Gibbs reflective cycle encourages the need to consider what has happened, what's going on

and how to change and improve the results.

My objective: A personal development plan to reflect the logic of experience, ideas,

knowledge and ideas. This helps you to make thoughts on how to do in the near future.It is

very important to give time to personal and professional development. Appreciate the work

and progress towards the ambitions, aspirations and goals. Whilst it reflects the personal

development plan a few things on their minds: What work has been done? What training has

been completed? When? What did we achieve? And do we need any training further?

The aim is to reach after no stopping it. Be borne in mind what has been achieved, update, re-

purpose and is trying to access it again. A personal development plan should be examined,

terms of existing things, change the target and re-achieve, repeat the process.

The new ideas will expand their thinking and knowledge.

4.1

Problems arise when an obstacle prevents the goal.

Goal = we have to achieve something.

Obstacle = the objective is to prevent, implemented.

Objective + Obstacle = PROBLEM

The problem is subjective, no relative.

Work based problem

What is a problem? A problem is a situation that presents difficulty or perplexity. Problems

come in many shapes and sizes. For example, it can be:

Something does not work as it should, and does not know how or why.

Something is needed but not available, and some will instead be to find

Problem is, every day events of life, and in order to cause less stress and frustration, we must

learn how to deal with them in a rational and logical manner.

If we accept the fact that problems arise regularly, for various reasons, and a variety of

sources, you can: learn to approach problems objectively; learn in advance how to solve and

prevent the growing problems.

The first step in Problem Solutions is always to analyse the problems. The main errors: lack of experience, lack of focus, lack of communications.

Seven Steps for Effective Problem Solving in the Workplace

Identify the issues : Be clear about what the problem is

Understand everyone's interests: This is a critical step.

The best solution is one that satisfies everyone.

List the possible solutions : It’s time to collect some ideas. It may hide a lot of space for creativity.

Evaluate the options. What are the plus and minus?

Select an option or options: What is the best solution for the balance?

Is there a way to "package" a number of options with a satisfactory solution?

The best solution for evaluating, selecting. Maybe offer more choices

Document the agreement: Write down the details, it is easier to think through and delving.

Agree on contingencies, monitoring, and evaluation: Compliance with monitoring, evaluation of the agreement

(Hicks, n.d.)

I think that these steps are an important aid to the problem situations structuring.

Then neutralize the obstacles encountered in the conflict resolution process.

4.2

Communication; is the exchange of information between the transmitter and the receiver.

The mutual communication is a dynamic process,

We communicate every moment of life, that is, information about the other party about

ourselves or our environment. The communication can be one-way, when the student has no

way of immediate feedback, your opinion does not say. In the case of two-way

communication is possible in the immediate feedback, such as conversation, discussion,

talking on the phone.

Components of Communication: The communication process consists of four main

components. • Those components include the encoding, transmission medium, decoding and

feedback. Transmitter and receiver part.

For communication with the following main elements are required:

Figure 2

Sender: he who send the message, Receiver: he who receives the message

Medium: contact established between the transmitter and the receiver

Message: information provided to receivers by the transmitter

Feedback or return: verbal or non-verbal response from the receiver to the transmitter

Everyone uses two basic channels in communication, verbal one, that is, the language, the

other is non-verbal, adjacent channel words. The researchers concluded that the non-verbal

channel much larger role in the process of communication, such as language signals, i.e.

speech. We could say that the more important for us "how to say" like "what they say."

Types of Communication :

Based on the information society intricate system of canals found in human communication

are grouped in various ways:

Number of individuals involved in the communication says:

- Intrapersonal (internal) communication: e.g. learning, thinking, mental processes processing

- Interpersonal (between people) communication: e.g. and maintaining contacts between

individuals

- Group communication, e.g. family, work and other communities

- Mass media, e.g. TV, radio

The intention of communicating

- Intentional (conscious)

- Involuntary (instinctive)

According to the signal system used

- Verbal communication: using natural human language sign system, signs and symbols,

words and meaning, types of words, gender, culture, context

- Non-verbal communication: using sign language outside the system, for example. Body

language, fine arts, mimicry, eye contact, vocal communication, gestures, postures, spacing

control

Impact in terms of the nature and the recipient of the information provided by:

- Cognitive (thought to be) communications

- Emotional-affective (emotional) communication

The relationship between the communicating parties to each other, according to

- Direct (face to face) the parties meet in person

- Indirect: the sender and receiver in space and / or time away from each other

The existence of feedback, respectively. According lack

- One-sided (asymmetric) communication: the continuous transmission, but there is no

feedback

- Mutual (symmetric) communication: there is feedback, the sender's and receiver's role

constantly alternates

The communication between different social spheres, according to busy place:

- Private communications

- Public communication

The relationship between the communicating parties according to their nature:

- Personal communication

According Ben Franklin:“Remember that time is money”(Franklin, 1748])

Effective time management is critical to every business. Everyone can improve time schedule

and development of these skills can be of great benefit.

Our schedule is always a direct effect (good or bad) will have on those we work with.

Therefore, you should devote time to develop tools and techniques that help improve the

efficiency of our schedule, fulfilment of our objectives and deadlines are met.

Time management: decisions on the use of the available time is taken to ensure the time

required to perform the most important functions, as well as the information and documents

related to managing and ensuring their availability.

Time management is a key factor in the ability to quickly and accurately determining the

order of priority, and if required, a flexible reorganization.

Naturally this ability is not innate "value" must learn to help ourselves and improving our

schools, which take place on the occasion of group training sessions as well.

The leader management time significantly affect the company's or company's performance

and the extent to which it can meet customers' expectations.

Using the Eisenhower Time Management Matrix:

(Pro-Vice-Chancellor, 2013)

Some important issues in setting up priorities:

What is the limit in terms of the job?

Urgent - all the way to deal with it now

Non-urgent

To what extent is the current leader in terms of the urgency of the case work?

Important - not important

The specific task of the leader finds it useful or pointless.

The prioritization of 4 major categories: Urgent-Important, Important-Not urgent, Urgent-

Important and Not important- Not urgent.

COLLEGE

Good time management is a fundamental principle that we are able to accurately determine

and adhere to priorities, and we can say no to the unimportant things.

Effective time management techniques:

The most important focus. Focus on each job is the most important, most basic

details, such as to eliminate succeed in the creative phase of the grey routine work.

Be clear about your objectives

The good points from the principle of SMART:

Specific - be clear and unambiguous

Measurable - we know that we have reached to them or not

Attainable - are available

Realistic - the necessary resources - people, equipment, money, time - availability of

Time specific - set out the date by which we reach them.

To know what our limits are in general, these relate to available resources (who can

help, what equipment you can use, how much we spend, how much time you have to)

Prioritize all tasks

If you want to carry out our work effectively, it must be able to distinguish between relevant

and irrelevant information to do and be ranked in the incoming job.

Plan a day before

It is recommended to consider the previous evening, some section to write papers on what we

are planning for the next day.

Logically work: a fixed time after the other to carry out the tasks.

Objectives number

Objectives Objectives evaluation

1. To gain senior management professional qualifications, commencing with Certificate in management

I really enjoy the course. It has given me a new set of management skills that I can use within a senior role. Some of it was mathematical which was not really relevant to my role. I have provided written feedback to the course tutor on the effectiveness of this qualification.

2. Undertake some duties involving the management and development of trainee to include the monitoring and review of their personal development plan.

I have spent a full year assessing, monitoring and reviewing the development of the four trainees who started last year. They have all completed their plans and are on target for completed their plans and are on target for completion of their probationary periods. Feedback from my line manager has been positive. Many remarks were made about how much the trainees have achieved this year.

3. To run in-house training for my installation team on updating new system
