Academic and Employability Skills Report: University of London

This academic report presents a comprehensive self-assessment of a student's academic and employability skills, focusing on the development of skills essential for a General Manager role. The report begins with an introduction emphasizing the importance of strong management skills and the need for self-awareness, including the incorporation of team members' opinions in decision-making. A personal SWOT analysis is conducted to identify strengths (team management skills, writing skills), weaknesses (lack of active listening, nervous nature), opportunities (nonverbal/writing skills), and threats (lack of confidence, work pressure). The report then outlines the necessary skills for a General Manager, such as communication, and prioritizes skills using a priority matrix. The student highlights skills already possessed and those needing development, categorizing them into critical and do-now, critical but do-later, and those needing some work. The report emphasizes active listening, stress management, and feedback tolerance. In conclusion, the student plans to maintain a personal rating sheet to track progress and identify areas for improvement, referencing relevant literature to support the analysis and findings. The report is a practical demonstration of the student's self-awareness and commitment to professional development.
