1REFLECTIVE MBA ASSIGNMENT
The respective essay is a reflection about my learning experience gained from
undertaking the capstone subject and assessments which had been provided to me as I was
enrolled in the MBA (Master of Business Administration) course. In the paper, I have also
looked back at the MBA course holistically to identify special skills that I have developed that
would assist me to become an effective and efficient professional in my workplace.
Reflective capabilities can be defined as the capabilities of a particular individual which
are being introspected through a series of self assessment, self realization and self-actualization.
With the help of reflective capabilities, an individual can strive to achieve the best possible
version of him/her holistically, which means, not just professionally, but personally too.
Reflection is an intellectual exercise that arises from self-doubt and follows the path of self-
assessment, self-introspection, self realization and self actualization which is an important part of
a human being in order to survive and thrive in the competitive world (Coulson and Harvey
2013). Reflective capabilities largely depend on the situation from where the individual who is
reflecting him/her belongs to or is aiming at, the internal as well as external characteristics of the
individual, the profession he/she is interested to pursue and the environment where he/she
traditionally belongs to or want to belong to. Self reflection provides a person with an
introspection and analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in their
capabilities and provides an insight of their core competencies which proves to be immensely
helpful in their professional and personal life as it develops an individual into a complete being.
The essential capstone skills that have been put up as a workshop and assessment
materials are: competitive advantage through innovation and growth, leadership communication
and assimilation, presentation of workplace investigation with the help of reports and newsletters
and employability and trends.
