CIPD Behaviors: A Reflective Review on Strengths and Development Areas

This report provides a critical reflective review of personal capabilities in the context of effective people management and development, utilizing the CIPD core profession behaviors as a framework. It identifies three key areas of strength: situational decision-making, valuing people, and working inclusively, providing evidence from professional experiences in sales and accounting to support these strengths. Conversely, three areas requiring further development are highlighted: passion for learning, commercial drive, and professional courage and influence, with a rationale for why improvement in these areas is essential for future success in people management and leadership roles. The report concludes with a reflexive review of how these core strengths will be further enhanced and how the areas needing development will be addressed through specific strategies, such as enhancing critical analysis skills, improving emotional intelligence, studying change management models, and learning leadership theories. The ultimate goal is to align personal capabilities with CIPD profession behaviors to improve people management skills and achieve professional success.
