Decision Making and Problem Solving
GIBBS’S REFLECTIVE CYCLE
Gibbs’s reflective cycle is currently used by me to reflect on own different skills or
abilities which I have developed for the development of personality & professionalism.
Generally, in year 1988, this Gibb’s reflective cycle first presented by Graham Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs
has provided a logical structure to be learnt from experience. In this reflective cycle of Gibbs,
there are six stage includes which has been mentioned below for reflecting on self-improvement
of skills.
Description
Recently I have participated in a group discussion with various colleagues. In that
discussion, me and colleagues have discussed on lots of topics. In this situation, that discussion
was putted positively effect on my daily life (Bowen and Bowen, 2017). Reason is, in that
discussion, all people were discussing such topics and factors which made use highly motivated
for improving our own personal & professional life. From the self management lectures I

understood that solving personal skills and knowledge is important in a group so that everyone
can benefit from them. Generally, all members of that group discussion have shared such
productive techniques and strategies with each other which enable used to develop own skills
and abilities in every effective manner. In that group discussion, we are total six members were
participated which induces me. Basically, in discussion, all people were very excellent in own
respective areas of knowledge. So that enabled me to learn lots of new things through colleagues
in the last group discussion. From the time management lecture I also understand the importance
of reducing stress and that can take place when all the tasks are completed on time and the
problems are also solved effectively. All people have discussed on personal and professional
development topic, because our main target was, to make our self to effectively develop different
skills and abilities. Reason is, development of skills and abilities is very necessary task for
developing personality and professionalism. Performance has to be managed and for that
problem solving and decision making is very essential for myself so that there is going to be a
better result which can come out from it.
Feelings
That group discussion was really productive for me because I gained a lot of knowledge
and skills which are essential. Basically, when me and colleagues was discussing various topics
in discussion of group, then I was focused on listening, because if we listen things properly, then
we can simply analyse them. I have felt that, only speaking not makes any conversation
effective, because we always have required to maintain a productive balance between speaking
and listening. The group members had a lot of knowledge and skills in respect to this topic which
is why they were able to give in their best. I felt less confident because I did not have the right
knowledge to be able to take the right measures. I told to my different colleagues also this same
thing that, we have to maintain balance between speaking and listening to get appropriate results
and outcomes.
Evaluation
After knowing my opinion on the balance of speaking and listening, my colleagues was
completely agreed with me. One of the colleague told me that, you have deeply understood the
skill of decision making, because you’re work distribution opinion has shown great knowledge
of this skill (Cortellazzo, Bruni and Zampieri, 2019). That colleague told me that, after
developing your problem solving skill, you will enable simply to develop your personality and
