2REFLECTIVE REVIEW
CPD or the continuous development process is the method by which the
individuals are able to find out their areas of strengths and weakness. It enables them to
make sure that they are taking proper steps in order to overcome then same. It is the
process by which the employees or any individuals try to make sure that they are being
able to put themselves into proper practice on a regular basis. There are different kinds
of learning styles that the individual can use for developing themselves. It is for this
reason that CPD is a very useful tool that the individuals often use to overcome their
areas of weaknesses.
There are many learning events that are used for knowing about the current
proficiency of the individuals. They are not only able to fund out their current strengths
and weakness. At the same time they can make a proper record of their previous year’s
experiences and make arrangements for the future as well. The CPID map is really very
helpful in understanding the leadership and the management qualities that must be
present within the individuals in order to become successful employees in the near
future.

Development Record – based on previous 12 months
Personal Analysis
STRENGTHS Areas for further development
As per my previous 12 months experience,
I have seen that my strength is to deal with
pressure and maintain a good personal
administration. In other words, I have been
able to lead a team of HR professionals
and train them properly.
I realized that one of the big problem that I
was facing was facing was to explain the
plans to my subordinates, This shows that
I have to be much more organized so that
I can devote some time in making proper
planning. I have to plan things properly
before trying tom explains it to my
subordinates.
OPPORTUNITIES Threats
I have to try and become much more
adaptable and flexible. This will help me to
work over my leadership skills. I have to
work over the Behavioral flexibility. This is
a very essential trait for a leader. This will
be very helpful for my future career.
I thought that being a woman it will be
tough for me to rise up in the management
position. There were many challenges that
I had to face in my professional career
throughout then last 1 year. I witnessed
much discrimination at the workplace
because of the fact that I was a female.
There was large scale gender
discrimination. This can be a threat in my
path of progress.

mood and my actions. In my last year’s experiment I have seen that in order to

carry on my work properly
Personal values
In my last year’s experience, I have realized that there are some important
qualities that are compulsory for becoming a good leader and a good HR
manager. Self awareness is one of the most essential qualities. I need to work on
this so that I am able to work over my own experience. Being aware of one’s mood
is very important to lead a team. Relationship management is another important
quality that helps the managers to spread and convey their positivity to the rest of
the employees.
