the pathway towards growth. This report will deal in the personal reflection of PD and the values
that have been learned during the process of development. The identification of the dilemmas in
regards to the workspace, life and studies along with the formulation a plan to achieve the goals
in life will also be highlighted in the report furthermore.
Reflection on the PD in regards to the self-awareness and personal experiences.
The relation of the personal development is closely linked to the self-awareness of an individual.
It helps in the generation of an opportunity to comprehend towards the significant area of life
that requires an improvement. The relative importance of the personal development planning can
be described as the development of the strengths and boosting of the level of confidence within
an individual. This will help me to focus on the varied dimensions that seem to be out of my
comfort zone. My interest is in the field of management and the necessary skills that are required
for the learning objectives will thereby be explicated in this segment of the report (Garcia, 2022).
The real-life experiences that have been practiced in life by me in regards to the field will also be
elucidated furthermore.
The skills acquired in the process of learning – The analogy of the most significant 4 C’s for the
learning objectives will prove to be an aid for me in order to comprehend towards the process of
learning. This includes the inclusion of critical thinking, creative and innovative analogy,
communicating in an active manner and collaborating efficaciously. The analysis of the
problems that can arise in the decision-making process must be done in a befitting manner by me
through the appropriate classification of the varied segments of the theme. The brainstorming for
fetching the best course of action for the process to be undertaken will help me in the creative
analogy of the learning dimensions. The fluency in the communication along with the active
listening will prove to be an aid for me to careful pay attention towards the possible solutions of

the problems. The comprehensive learning of the allocation of the resources will imping the
responsibility mechanism in me (Gordon, 2022).
The personal experiences in the field of management – The acquirement of a position in a
company helps in the gaining of significant experiences with varied skills and capabilities. I have
worked with reputed companies and the expertise that have been gained by me as a Project Head,
helped me realized the importance of practical learning. The excelling as the supreme leader of
the team, making the human resources of the project, to attain the competitive edge for the firm
and the values and standards that have been learned by me throughout, will definitely help me in
the accomplishment of influential elevation in the coming future.
The reflection upon the values and insights acquired during the process of growth.
The conduction of the activities must be in accordance to right and appropriate virtues
and should not harm any individual in any manner. The leaders of the management teams must
abide the morals, which will help in the provision of accurate guidance to carry forwards a
particular task (Groen, 2022). The primary of the beliefs and principles that must be
acknowledged by me in life should be:
Admission of mistakes – We all are humans and the certainty of occurrence of an mistake in life
is significant and we should not blame it on the others. I should be brave enough to admit my
mistakes an try to not repeat in the coming future. Each of the experience will only help me
learning and improving which will prove to be ad in order to guide my fellow employees in the
team.
Promotion of Diversity – The harnessing of this segment is an imperative tool for a leader. The
employees belonging to varied backgrounds and experiences should always feel welcome in the
company they are working for and this aspect must be taken taken by me as the project head of
the team.
Value of Listening – The viewpoints of the employees should be taken into account and they
must feel that their feedback and suggestions are taken seriously. They should not feel any
sought of negligence in regards to their share in the functioning of the office (He and et. al.,
2022). The employee's contribution is very significant and critical for the growth and
development of the company.

Analysis of the dilemma faced in life in respect to the balance between work, home and study
life.
There is an imperative need to maintain a balance between work, study and home life in
order to excel in each of the segment. The inefficacy in either of the management can lead to the
creation of issues. There are certain tips that can be taken into account be me in order to establish
an effective balance between the personal life, academia and the work life.
Never Procrastinate – The delaying of the activities can lead to significant loss of time as well as
it will end up to be a hue pile and will become a burden eventually. I should never taken this
approach of procrastination in life as it will only increase the level of stress rather that adding up
of any sought a welfare towards life.
Avoidance of Multitasking – The consumption of energy is comparatively more when we try to
do a bunch of activities at once. Each of the task requires complete focus towards it and the lack
in either of the activity can lead to its failure (Kipiani, 2022). Therefore, I will never try to do
multiple things ta once and the best approach that will be take by me is complete one particular
task and then moving on to the other.
Avoidance of Distractions – The work life should never be mix matched with the personal life or
the academia. The implication of one division should not impact the functioning of the other.
Also, the social media distractions must not be taken in a serious manner or else it will create
significant problems in the lifestyle.
Sticking up to a Schedule – The time management that has been decided by an individual should
be scheduled in such a manner that it does not get affected by any sought of modification. I
should divide the appropriate time between the work space and the personal life to avoid the
scope of mismanagement in life.
The particular area that requires a scope of change with outlining a plan.
One aspect of my life that requires a change – The constant desire of me to direct the workforce
irrespective of the requirement needs to change. The approach should mend into the direction of
directive to instructive. The supervision over the operations of the employees must not seem to
be like that of a dictatorship (Larsen, 2022). The employees should not feel excess pressure and
rather should be comfortable in sharing their respective viewpoints with me.

The formulation of a brief personal development analysis can help me to achieve the desired
objectives in life ascertained by now (Travers, 2022). This can be done through a conduction of a
personal SWOT scrutiny which will enumerate the positive as well as the negative dimension of
my personality along with a number of opportunities and the relevant threats in the pathway
Strengths – My personal strength lies behind the conception of effectual time management skills
and the ability to procure the best resources for the job.
Weaknesses – The disregard towards the consideration of the employees needs and requirements
as per the identification of my personnel weakness which requires an alteration .
Opportunities – The learning of varied project management related software to be capable of
rendering the modern day requirements and evolve according to the technological advancements.
Threats – The lack of understanding between the personnel and me because of the ineffective
communique can create significant threat to my position in the team.
PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
TARGET
The primary target of mine if
to become instructive rather
than a directive project for the
effectual and smooth
functioning of the team.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN
The significant step that can
be taken by me is to
understand the employees
through conduction of team
conferences or meetings and
try to comprehend towards
their skills and relative
expertise and provide them
with appropriate guidance
which will help them to
achieve their determinate
goals and also help in the
attainment of the targets of
the company.
TIMELINE
There can be no definite time
line is this regard, as the
understanding level between
the employees and me will
develop with time. I can try
my level best to focus upon
their needs and requirements.

Preparation of short-term plans to be achieved for a progressive career in the future.
The necessary qualities of an effective executive must be identified in order to flourish
and embellish in the coning future. The identified traits of an influential project head of the
company can thereby be explicated in this section of the study.
Experience – It is the mandate skill for a project manager to have in order to effectively
communicate the job responsibilities to the employees. This will furthermore help in building a
level of trust among-st the workforce (Munoz, 2022).
Delegation – The accurate and the proper delegation of the tasks in regards to the capabilities
and skills of the employees is thereby necessary for the leaders. The completion of the tasks by
the personnel on time will lead to the enhancement of productivity of the firm
The effectual steps that can be taken to achieve the competence level for the managerial role can
be enumerated by me for the improvement in the effectiveness of the company. These steps start
with the creation of credibility among-st the management team through following with the words
that were promise at the very beginning. The decisions must be fair and accordance to the
fundamentals of the management. An operative collaboration is thereby necessary for the
complete involvement of the team towards the attainment of the desired goals and objectives of
the firm (Rogers, 2022).
CONCLUSION
An inference can thus be made that it is imperative and mandatory to identify and
enumerate the aspects for the significant growth in life in regards to the attainment of the goals
that are set through the examination of the level of productivity it withholds. The explication of a
reflection upon the PD proved to be an aid for the understanding of the loopholes and the
strengths of an individual. The values that have been imbibed during the different stages of
growth, also helped in the building of a strong and influential character of a human. The
standardization of the short-term goals assisted in the recognition of a directive pathway which
will help in the achievement of the objectives in a deliberative manner, was another aspect of the
report.
