Self-Awareness Assignment
Prof. Heathcote
This assignment is designed to help you understand yourself. In this course, you will explore
who you are in terms of your personality, skills and values. Further, you will examine how you
work and interact with others. In this paper, you will explore two areas of strength, two areas of
weakness, and then you will develop a plan of action related to a single strength and a single
weakness. It is expected that this assignment will contribute to your sense of self-awareness and
thus help you to make wise choices about your future.
As part of our course activities, we will focus on your areas of strength. This will allow you to
reflect and disclose those aspects of yourself that you feel are most likely to contribute to your
abilities as a leader. Further, you will receive feedback from your peers and/or supervisors as to
whether the areas of strength you identified match those perceived by others. To give you an
opportunity to further explore your strengths and how you can use them to advance your career,
you will select two areas of strength to discuss in this assignment.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to delve into your areas for growth. For this
assignment you will also reflect on two areas of weakness (or areas that you would like to
develop). You will be exercising self-disclosure, as you will be sharing this information with
your professor. Moreover, you will receive feedback (from your professor) on your capacity to
identify, and develop a plan of action related to, your areas for growth.
Understanding your strengths and your developmental needs should help you because a
heightened sense of self-awareness should guide you to make career choices that capitalize on
your strengths. The first step in this assignment is to identify two areas of strength and two for
development. If you are already aware of your strengths and the areas in which you would like to
grow, then you simply need to determine whether you are using appropriate terminology to
describe them. If you are uncertain of your strengths and areas for improvement, then you will
begin the assignment with an exercise in self-reflection.
Identifying Your Strengths and Weaknesses in Academic Literature
Once you have identified two strengths and two areas for growth, you should ensure that your
strengths and weaknesses have been linked to the competencies associated with leadership. This
will help you to see how academics writing about leadership refer to your strengths and
weaknesses.
Application: How have you demonstrated your strengths & weaknesses and how have they
affected you?
1. Consider how you exemplify the strengths / areas for development. Provide concrete
examples of how you demonstrate these strengths / weaknesses in your daily life (at work
or at school).
2.
Describe how each of the strengths/weaknesses impacts your performance at work and/or
how it currently affects your performance at school. If you find that you cannot identify
how the strength/weakness helps/hinders your performance, then re-consider why it is a
strength or why you would want to improve the skill, or go back to step 1 and identify
another area for development.
Integrating Academic Research
1. Select one strength and one area for improvement.
2. Drawing on theory, explain why the strength/developmental need might affect your
current performance and/or how it might positively or negatively impact your future
career. When considering theory, you will want to find research articles (academic ones)
in support of your hypothesis that the strength will be of benefit to your career and that
the area for development will negatively affect your performance (or alternatively, why
improvement in this area will be necessary for your career).
Developmental Plan
Now you need to develop a plan for improvement. Your plan should be realistic and you
should provide a convincing argument for why you believe it will be effective. In order to be
persuasive, I recommend that you support your plan with evidence (i.e., research the potential
methods that can be used to improve a particular skill and include this evidence in your
paper).
1. Develop a plan of action for capitalizing on one of your strengths.
a. Develop a plan for how you believe you can capitalize on your area of strength.
Use specific behavioural example(s) to indicate how your plan will give you an
opportunity to use the competency to advance your career. The plan should be
realistic and you should apply what you know about goal setting to ensure that
the plan is likely to be motivating (e.g., consider whether your plan has SMART
goals).
b. You will need to indicate what would constitute career success and how your
plan will bring you closer to achieving it. Further, you need to use research to
convince the reader that your plan will be effective.
2. Develop a plan for how you believe you can improve one of your areas of weakness.
1. Use specific behavioural example(s) to indicate how your plan will be
implemented. The plan should be realistic and you should apply what you know
about goal setting to ensure that the plan is likely to be motivating (e.g., consider
whether your plan has SMART goals).
2.
You will need to indicate what would constitute improvement. You should
explain the criteria for achieving proficiency on the competency. In addition,
you should provide a specific behavioural example of how you would
demonstrate improvement in your own life/career.
3.
Research the plan. Look for evidence to support the idea that you can improve
the identified skill and that your method is likely to be successful. If your idea
has not been tested, then you should provide a theoretical explanation for why it
will work. Please use academic theory and research to support your plan.
Format Requirements
The paper should be no longer than 8 pages in length and should be 12-point Times New Roman
Font, double spaced, with 1-inch margins. You should have a minimum of 6 distinct academic
references. The paper is worth 20% of your grade.
