TASK
Pro- forma for the team work skill
What is the core skill to develop?
As per the thoughts given by Cottrell, (2015), it has been analysed that team work is defined as
the cooperative efforts of group of people towards the common goals. Development of team
working skill in every individual is highly important because it helps them achieving goals in
quicker manner with the support of one another strengths skill. It has been seen that business
activities which are performed by a team are more effective and successful in comparison of
those skills which are performed by individual at own level.
Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on?
This skills shows that each and every employee who perform in a team gets support of one
another knowledge and skills. This clearly shows importance of this skill in individuals life as
they are able to work in organisation with higher productivity. I have selected team work skill
for development as I think that its helps me enhancing my satisfaction level and also reduces
stress level as working in a team makes me interact with team members which releases my
stress. This release of stress motivates me to work in a company and also enhances my
productivity which increases profitability of company as all predetermined aims and targets are
attained in provided time period.

Reflect on your current competent regarding this skill. How did you access your
competence?
On the basis of my own evaluation, it is analysed that I am quite good at team working as it is
supported with the strong communication skill of mine. This means that my strong
communication skills helps me in influencing interest of team mates and also make them work
according to my guidance. As a result, this influence of mine helps me work with the team
members in effective manner that contributes in accomplishment of all goals and objectives in
the provided time frame. Along with this, my superiors has also told me I am working in a
comfort zone while working in a team which clearly depicts that I am good in team on the job
ability.
Can you identify contradiction from your analysis above?
I have personally identified that my superiors as well as team members believes that I am good
in team working skill but according to my analysis, I personally feels that at the time of
corporate meeting I am not able to corporate with the team members. This is because, I think
that having strong communication skill is not enough for the good team working but it also
requires some patience as well in order to sustain longer their.
How this skill will help me in the future?
Strong team employed ability will support in working on big projects in future as without
having support of team members it would not be possible for me to work in it. Along with this,
working with team members will also help me in learning many new skills as interaction with
team mates will allow me to go through from their skill and also helps me learning new
capability from themselves.
Pro- forma of Public speaking skill
What is the core skill to develop?
As per the viewpoint of Mischel, DeSmet and Kross, (2014), public speaking is considered as
ability of individual which makes them communicate or speak in a whole group by representing
themselves in front of them. Under this, I'm focused toward developing the skill as it will
support me in presenting my views and perception in front of others so that they can be
persuaded for the same.
