Managerial competence is largely dependent on the ability of manager to effectively
between different competing roles. The Competing values framework identifies eight competing
roles that a manager must perform effectively in order to function effectively. These roles
include director, broker, mentor, monitor, producer, innovator, and facilitator and coordinator
(Quinn et al., 2015). As shown on my first spider web, Monitor producer and facilitator roles
were the notable areas in which I had the requisite skills.
By comparing the two attempts it is clearly visible that I have experienced areas of
notable changes between the first and second CVF spider webs. In particular, while in my first
CVF spider web I had three roles with an equal score of 6.0, broker role emerged as the most
competent area in the second CVF spider web. There was a notable improvement to this role
from the initial 5.5 to 6.5.A similar trend was also witnessed in the mentor role which improved
from 5.5 to 5.7, innovator role from 4.7 to 5.5 and coordinator role whose score improved from
5.8 to 6.0. On the contrary also, major reversal changes were also witnessed between the two
CVF Spider webs. For example the score for the monitor role declined from 6.0 recorded in the
first web to 5.2.Similarly, the scores recorded for producer and facilitator role declined to 5.2
down from 6.0 achieved in the first test. Finally, while the initial spider web identified the
innovator role as my weakest area, this was not the case in the second attempt. Based on these
results it is evident that areas of significant changes were experienced between the First and the
second spider web.
The changes witnessed in the two tests were precipitated by several factors which
can be categorized as work, learning and personal factors. Particularly, some of the notable
positive changes recorded in the second spider web were made possible by my unending desire
