Assessment Title:- Developing Management Capability
Task Description
Length: 2000 words
Format: Report Format
Task Required: The aim of this assignment is to allow participants to explore and develop key capabilities in one of the two key managing others capabilities addressed in the course.
You can choose either:
> Conflict and Negotiation, or
> Empathy and Trust, or
> Teams and Groups.
Students are then to prepare a literature review about the chosen topic that defines the key terms and outlines key theories or models and application (1000 words Approx).
Students must utilise at least three (3) of the diagnostic tools undertaken during the workshops (such as the Johari Window, Thomas Khilman Conflict Questionnaire, The Big 5, ESCI, Belbin Team Inventory etc.) that provide insights into current capabilities or preferences. Students are to contrast the results of the diagnostics tests and compare these to the literature so as to identify key strengths and weakness in their managing others capabilities (500 words Approx).
Students are then to identify two areas for improvement. Using your learnings from the literature review and diagnostic tools, develop a realistic plan of activities designed to improve your knowledge and skills over a 6-month period (500 words Approx).
Research Requirements: A minimum of 14 scholarly references are to be used that includes at least 4 peer reviewed journal articles included as citations within the report.
Keep in mind that the external sources (outside the textbooks) must be peer reviewed journal articles or scholarly book chapters. If you are in doubt of what constitutes a journal article or scholarly book chapter you need to ask your lecturer/professor or tutor.
