Understanding People and Organizations
1. I mostly agree with the self-assessment that has come out as the result. I have got quite
the similar numbers to what I had expected myself. For Example: Analyzing and Problem
Solving stage, I have got 2 out of 10. This means that I have to learn this skill a lot. I can
relate to it as I become very anxious when any problem arrives. For a few hours or days, I
am unable to decide what to do and how to find the solution to the problem. Similarly, I
am not a team member. I work really well when working independently but when it
comes to working with various people with different opinions, it become difficult. And it
is very obvious that one cannot achieve his or her objectives without the help of
managers and subordinates (Swarowsky, Leiz, & Niessen, 2010). Hence, 1 number is
well deserved in achieving objectives. Yes, I am good at learning new things and
developing myself into something different and further grow. Hence, I do not agree with
3 numbers out of 10 in Self Developing. Again 3 in Adapting to change is deserved as I
am not very good with changes as well. I like monotonous things and processes but I fell
a little unstable when any change happens. Though in the end I adapt with the changes
and stick to it.
2. I have learnt that these all are the skills which are required for working in an
organization. I need not to be fearful of the problem and with a calm mind I should take
out the solution of the problem (T. & I., 2010). I should look up to my manager if I am
unable to solve the problem. I should also work in teams as I need to respect others
opinion as well and take it in a healthy manner (Arrey, 2014). This gesture will help me
in achieving my objective which is again one of the weaknesses that I possess and will
also let me adjust in the situations when change occurs. It is said that if a person works
with unity, he or she can digest anything and becomes more adjusting as compared to a
person living or working alone.
3. There are in my belief 3 theoretical concepts which have given me a different insight to
work in the firm and in the most productive way. The first one is problem solving. A
person is always pressured when he or she works if he works under stressful atmosphere.
A person should always stay calm and composed at his workplace as there is nothing that
is more important than one’s health. There are always managers for help of their
subordinates. Second is working with teams. People work in teams for getting different
ideas and sharing thoughts from each other so that the work is done in a better way.
