To improve my area of assisting
others in making ethical decisions, I
must consider how my actions will
impact others.
In addition to this, I must reflect
prior to take any decisions for the
team.
The SWOT Analysis will help
me to distinguish relations
between strength and
opportunities, and weakness
and threats to understand the
degree of impact of my
decisions on others.
Consequently, I will be able to
assist others in making
constructive decisions.
I must use SWOT analysis, to serve
as a reference point for prospective
decisions. While approaching a
decision, I will conduct SWOT
analysis and look for connections
between strengths and opportunities
and weaknesses and threats.
If there are strong relations between
strengths and opportunities, it is a
upright sign that I should proceed.
To perform this
activity, I will seek
help from my
supervisor. 3-5 weeks

enthusiasm and motivation to
put efforts into their work.

collaboration within the team and
encourage happiness. Also I will set
distinctive goals and purposes to
each member of the team and Offer

In order to enhance my areas of
pressure and stress, as a potential
project manager, I will try some
effective relaxation techniques.
Successfully conducting stress
management sessions will help
to effectively deal with my
stress as well as management
levels. The sessions will offer
me techniques of identifying
areas which will give me
utmost stress and will help me
to combat them at the right
time.
To improve stress and high anxiety
level, I will take stress management
sessions. Also I will keep a journal
for a month or two to identify
situations which tend to create
highest level of stress and effective
ways to respond to them.
To perform these
activities, I will seek
help from my peers
with whom I can
openly converse about
these areas of my
weaknesses and who
will be able to evaluate
my progress.
