SELF REFLECTION ASSESSMENT1
The respective paper is a self reflection about me and my management competencies and
capabilities based on the STAR Model of self-reflection. In the respective paper, I have utilized
my six capabilities and competencies in order to identify, comprehend, analyze and interpret my
positive as well as negative qualities, my shortcomings and drawbacks in the arena of
management and how can I improve the areas for the near future. To identify my capabilities, I
have maintained a journal of my competency throughout the course in order to evaluate them
while framing the paper.
As a student of Business Management, I have been subjected to different kinds of theories,
approaches and perspectives. Throughout the course, not only did I learn about the theories,
concepts, perspectives and dynamics of management, but have also learnt that a student of
management is expected to have certain qualities and competencies. Management skills that are
essential for a management enthusiast or a student who is pursuing management are: Technical
skills, conceptual skills, interpersonal skills and management skills apart from other tertiary
skills such as spontaneity and street-smartness. A management expert is expected to have highly
optimized skills and knowledge synergized with maximum potentiality and efficiency.
Throughout the course, in the first assessment, I have realized that the major skill that I required
for my profession was I am not open to criticism. A professional, an expert or a student who has
been working in the management environment within a corporate setting would be coming
across a plethora of opportunities as well as threats and winning and losing is a part of
professional life. Every professional should be open to criticism of him/her and his/her activities
in order to identify his/her faults and grow as a professional and an individual, which I lack.
Therefore, to improve myself in this arena, I have to be more patient and not be overconfident

STAR Model, the respective competency is analyzed hereafter.

discussion regarding my role.
Action: I was given the task of a management personnel and I was supposed to take the
managerial responsibility of the drug department.
Result: I realized that I lacked in the skills of being open to criticism from my peers and mentors.
I have been given the task of management personnel. I have committed certain mistakes such as
miscommunication and wrong interpretation in my course internship which has led to criticism.
However, as I was criticized, I lost patience and gave wrong conduct in my workplace which
meant that I am not flexible or unprejudiced to my notions of my abilities. Therefore, to improve
myself in this arena, I have to be more patient and not be overconfident about my code of
conduct, keeping an unprejudiced mind in the workplace by practicing mindfulness exercises.
Throughout the course, in the second assessment of week 2, I have realized that I have certain
limitations. I am not susceptible to procure opportunities surrounding me. Seeking opportunities
to learn within a learning environment is an interpersonal skill which every management student
is required to have. With the help of skills of seeking opportunities, a person can grow personally
and excel professionally. Opportunities in an organization or in a workplace are dime-a-dozen. It
is the talent and capability of the professionals that enable them to seek those opportunities by
