A competency based critical review of leadership and management in my work organisation.
In the previous assignment, we needed to set up a company to sell a format DVD about managing cultural difference in the same working environment. And we needed to record a 10mins video and do a presentation. And I did the marketing part with another teammate in the team.This assignment likes a reflective essay.The feedback of the previous assignment from my group mates is that I don’t have enough conversation with group mates, however, I am friendly, helpful,easy to work with, good at writing and patient. And in this assignment, we need to write a sociogram, and it should be related to the video in the meeting (we recorded videos in almost every meeting about the previous project); for example, I raised a problem in the meeting and everyone considered about it.
The work organisation assignment has enabled you to experience or observe the leading and managing of people at first hand. You have produced something through people in a simulated work organisation. The main purpose of the individual assignment is to give you the opportunity to observe, analyse and evaluate how specific leadership and management competences are demonstrated within the work organisation and recommend behavioural changes that could be introduced to improve working effectiveness. You are also asked to consider the portability of specific behaviours between different organisational or national cultures. (N.B. it is not intended that this assignment is focussed on your management or leadership but any demonstration of management and leadership behaviours, including your own, however underdeveloped.)
Individual Task:
Select one aspect of management competence, from the following list:
1) Assertive Behaviour
2) Coaching
3) Conflict resolution
4) Co-ordinating (chosen one by me)
5) Creative problem solving
6) Delegating
7) Influencing
8) Leadership.
9) Motivating
10) Negotiating
11) Team building
12) Any other agreed with the module leader
Specific requirements of the task:
Write an assignment entitled "A competency based critical review of leadership and management in my work organisation."
To complete this task write responses to the following 3 questions:
1) What specifically have you observed and learnt from the experience focussing on one management competence?
Use the various sources of observational data located in your appendix i.e. personal journal, video transcripts, peer feedback, questionnaire data and tutor feedback, with an appropriate range of management concepts from your study of the subject to interpret your experience.
It may help to think of this section like the finding and conclusion of a report
(Suggested length 1000 words)
2) Evaluate how what you have learnt concerning best practice of the competence should inform and change the practice of the competence for the future.
This should be undertaken by considering the specific work organisation which you participated in or observed.
(Suggested length 700 words)
It may help to think of this section like the recommendations of a report
3) Identify and explain whether the best practice of the competence discussed in question 2 could be transferred into an employment situation when operating in a work organisation in your own national culture. If you are a UK based student, consider the transfer of the competence into a work organisation with which you are familiar.
(Suggested length 300 words)
The following appendix items must be included as course requirement:
1. A relevant Personal development journal entry (minimum 1).
2. Video transcripts of relevant incidents. (minimum 6)
3. Results from MBTI and Belbin questionnaires
4. Sociograms (minimum 6)
5. Behaviour categorisation forms (minimum 6)
6. Emotiograms (minimum 3)
7. Team critique surveys (minimum 4)
Items that should help with the assignment:
1) Visual recording of meetings
2) Transcripts of important incidents from the video recording
3) Process observation (e.g. sociograms, emotiograms, behaviour catagorisation, and team critique survey.)
4) Results of questionnaire data.
5) Personal journal
6) Reading, lecture material, relevant articles
7) Reflection and thinking
8) Discussion with group members and facilitators
9) Week 8 discussion with your tutor about your Personal Journal entry.
10) Poster display in Week 6. This should demonstrate in pictorial form what you have achieved and what you need to do to successfully complete the project (see below for more details in item 3).
It is a requirement to submit 1 Personal Journal to your tutor as indicated in the semester plan. The Journal will be signed and commented on by the tutor. Failure to submit will undermine your individual course work since feedback will not inform your future personal journals.
It is requirement that the work organisation produces a poster display as indicated in the semester plan for the tutor showing:
1. What the group has achieved,
2. What remains to be done,
3. How the group has made decisions,
4. What problems the group have experienced or anticipate
5. How the group have delegated the tasks.

Assignment length
The length of an assignment is limited by a set number of words to contribute towards the development of writing skills and to ensure all work is assessed equitably. We therefore require you to complete your assignments within the number of pages specified in the assignment brief.
You will need to think carefully about how best to explain your case within the permitted number of pages using, for example, an appropriate mix of text, drawings, diagrams and tables, supplemented by information contained in appendices.
Please also remember that a report can be enhanced or damaged through layout, for example, placing all tables and drawings in appendices can hamper the flow of discussion. Decisions therefore need to be made about the most appropriate place to use tables etc, to support your case.
The specified word count refers to the main body of the report and does not include front cover, title page, contents page, executive summary, reference list, bibliography or appendices.
Appendices themselves will not be marked. However, inappropriate use of appendices will be taken into consideration when awarding the final mark.
Words that exceed the maximum allowed will not be marked. If in doubt, you should discuss this with the Module Leader before submission.
