From the basis of my personal experience from my workplace environment. Being as a
branch manager at APS is the very big opportunity to work. I gained many good experience
with my teammates that motivates me in my decision and helps me to implement in better
way. I am very calm and polite person that better understand the situations and also analyse
what is best for the company. I observed the most important thing in the business that team
members and their support is the most important thing within the organisation that makes the
person more reliable and productive. My emotional strength is my confidence and positivity
that makes the teammates more motivated and happy. On the other side, my emotional
weaknesses is to get anger in some certain situation when work is not been completing as per
the planned manner. Suc anger makes everyone scared and difficulty. However, I need to
work upon my anger and should take some good practices to reduce my consciousness.

PART 2 - WORKPLACE SCENARIO BASED ON A CASE
ORGANISATION- PORTFOLIO OF EVIDENCE
SIMULATED WORK ORGANISATION:
The portfolio of evidence comprises the assessment of the application of your emotional
intelligence usage knowledge whilst managing a project and its team. You will use the given case
study below and will need to demonstrate your emotional intelligence to increase self-awareness,
self-management, social awareness and relationship management as well as identifying the impact
of own emotions on others whilst managing your team applied to any workplace.
ORGANISATIONAL BACKGROUND
(Information partly sourced from various similar organisational sources and other external source. The
information contexts have been significantly modified and re-written.)
APS (Australian Parcel Service) is Australian based cargo organisation with over 5,000 employees
moving one million packages each month through the use of air, rail, sea and land transportation
systems. For the last decade, the organisation has been one of the most successful cargo and parcel
enterprises of Australia. This is due to innovation with their digital technologies and also human
management system.
While founder Joe Burns was focused on logistics and speed, from the start he believed that people
were the key to business, and that leadership and human management is about continuous growth:
“Leaders get out in front and stay there by raising the standards by which they judge themselves –
and by which they are willing to be judged.” This vision has translated to the “PSP Philosophy” –
People-Service-Profit – which drives APS today.
The company identifies that the human-side of leadership has grown more complex, and looking to
the future, is committed to developing leadership capabilities to manage the changing nature of
workforce. The goal is leaders who are better at emotional intelligence, influence, make decisions
that are both quick and accurate, and are able to build a culture where people feel the dedication and
drive for exceptional performance in a way that’s sustainable and creates real value for all
stakeholders.
To measure leadership and Emotional Intelligence performance, APS administers an annual survey
where every employee can provide feedback about managers. The survey themes include respect,
fairness, listening, and trust – leadership responsibilities that are all about relationships and emotions.
This commitment to people-first leadership created an interest in “emotional intelligence” as a
learnable skillset that would equip managers to deliver the APS way.
Even though the leadership training was state of the art — among the top ten in the world – the APS
Global Leadership Institute is charged with continuously updating and innovating in keeping with that
Joe Burns call for continuously “raising the standards.” Located near the company’s primary hub, the
Leadership Institute (TLI) serves as the leadership university for APS Express.
ORGANISATIONAL VALUES
The success of human management and leadership at APS offers several insights to us. Firstly, the
organisation has not only placed some moral values but also implemented them with appropriate
projects and process. One good example is the INTELLIGENCE LEGACY training program for new
leaders and managers. Below exhibit the three major values of the organisation.
Emotional Intelligence - Assessment Task 1 v2, Last updated by NC 10/07/19 Page 11
A92109

T-1.8.1_v3
Link to what matters. At APS, concepts like “discretionary effort” and the leadership requirements
from the annual survey create an internal “case” for emotional intelligence. The champions of this
project have helped leaders see that the learnable skills of emotional intelligence are building blocks
to create the kind of people-first leadership the company wants – which, in turn, increases economic
value. This recognition has built support of the initiative at very senior levels.
Build internal capacity. By developing an internal team of emotional intelligence practitioners, the
company has been able to assimilate the concepts and skills of EQ and “translate” them to work
within the company culture. Having a large, strong team of emotional intelligence coaches and
trainers means this program can be delivered at a large scale, creating a new “strand of DNA” to
support the desired organisational culture.
Walk the Talk. The company tells managers to put people first, so the company puts people first. By
supporting new managers to be good people and investing in their growth right at the start of their
management careers, APS senior leadership is providing a powerful role model.
In 2018, APS implemented a new training program for new managers to consider the impact they
wished to have as leaders – the intelligence legacy they were creating. A core component of the
INTELLIGENCE LEGACY course was a module on emotional intelligence using the organisational
Emotional Intelligence situations. The results were very positive, in part because the course was very
realistic and practical with scenarios from previous organisational situations.
Recently the organisation had a recruitment drive and you have been hired as one of the branch
managers of this company. As part of the induction and training, you have also completed the
INTELLIGENCE LEGACY course and ready to move to your regional branch as the new branch
manager. As a branch manager you will lead a team that consists of several employees and as well
as team leaders.
Your task is to create a report on “Emotional Intelligence Analysis”, assuming you are the newly
hired/appointed Branch Manager of APS Company.
The report comprises of completing all the tasks from Task A-Task G, as given below. This aims on
demonstrating your ability on how you can implement and utilise the information you adopted through
attending the course.
To generate the report, you must complete all tasks from Task A - Task G by following the
instructions as stated for each. Ensure to provide details of the front cover page template of the report
as given in the next page.

complete all his obligations before the festival, leaving him stress free to enjoy his time with his family

self and acknowledge accomplishments as well as barriers to limitations. Self-actualisation can define
the endeavour to reach personal goals and self-improvement.
At times, to meet your professional needs, you need to reflect on your personal needs which is
balanced by human behaviour that influences the urge to improve quality of life.
Abraham Maslow (1943) produced a model with a hierarchy of needs, that tends to support
individuals to comprehend what inspires people to escalate and be successful. The model states that
there is a need to fulfil your basic needs prior focusing on the higher level of needs.
Although Maslow's hierarchy is usually used as a personal psychology tool, this also can be adopted
to a project management setting, where an individual team member or the whole project team working
on the project tends to channel their way towards satisfying the succeeding needs with the
determination to surpass whatever impedes their work fulfilment.
The following diagram shows the how Maslow’s hierarchy is structured.
As a Manager, supporting your team members with opportunities to express their thoughts and
feelings is a step in the right direction towards fulfilling their fundamental needs in the workplace.
To be able to support your team achieve such fulfillments you too, as an individual, need to identify
internal factors that motivate your behavior to have a much happier life and feel accomplished. Only
then you can create a highly motivated and productive workforce.
Using the five levels in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, outline how you have applied or can apply them
to fulfil your personal need as well as professional needs and state your related emotions for each
need:
