2.0 Audit and Evaluation of Key Skills
2.1 Examine and evaluate the development of your skills
Being a part of a group exercise, I have comprehended that I have certain potential and pitfalls.
As per my understanding, my strengths includes, problem solving, decision making,
research and planning and team work. However, I need to develop in the areas of time
management, communications. At several instances, I have discovered that I am quite
comfortable working in a team as I am inclined to learnt a lot from my peers. In addition, given a
scenario, where it required me to make a decision for the team I could always make the correct
decision. Nevertheless, due to poor communication skills I have failed at conveying my point of
view to my peers thus I encountered certain flaks from them. Moreover, I believe that I need to
improve my time management skills as well so that I can improve the work flow of my team.
2.2 Assess your individual contribution and the overall team performance
As stated above, my skills involve making good decision, solving problems and working
effectively in a team. Therefore with the help of my competencies I have been able to contribute
in improving the overall team performance. There have been instances when our seniors
assigned us with critical task that involved a lot of research and planning and based on which
certain important decisions had to be made. In all those situations I had to execute extensive
research and then make necessary decisions. Based on this research and decision different
activities were planned and assigned. Following this work protocol helped the team to be more
productive and provide excellent deliverables.
Furthermore, at times when my team encountered with any issue be it major or minor I always
tried to get to the root cause of it and them mitigate with appropriate strategies. When a crisis
aroused, I always consulted with my seniors and then executed a root cause analysis so that
get to know about the issue right from its inception. This always helped me to combat the
challenges once and for all. In this manner, I could ensure smooth functioning of my group. It is
obvious that with less number of issues present in the group, the propensity of high
performance was high. Therefore it is understood that the productivity of the entire team was
influenced by my problem solving skills. Along with this, my ability to work in a team has also
improved the overall team performance as I was always inclined to acknowledge the view points
of others before taking any step.
