Gibbs' Reflective Cycle
This model was developed by Graham Gibbs in 1988 to provide a relevant structure
learning from the different experiences. This structure is basically helpful for examining the
experiences and provides the cyclic nature and make repeated experiences to learn and plan the
things in more appropriate methods. It mainly cover the six stages related to description,
feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan.
Description: For the completion of the group report, my group and I decided to divide
the work in each members so that each member can gain knowledge on each elements. It has
expected to complete the assignment in one piece for which the team members are able to work
and make significant schedule time to sit and discuss the factors. We have work on the Nike
company that how the company deals with their organisational behaviour. Here, we divide the
task in four segments and in last the recommendations are completed on the mutual decisions.
Feelings: In the initial stage I feel little stressed after analysing that I had lots of work to
do. Furthermore, after dividing the task in different people are make me more satisfying and
happy as we had been taken the smart work. During the completion of assignment, I feel
distracted and get frustrated due to improper team management. In addition to this, some of the
work are not done properly which I needed to be rewrite into the assignment. I made a consultant
with team and further decide to complete the task in one night. Looking back, I analysed that all
the ups and down helps to feel satisfied and complete the task in given time.
Evaluation: There are different things which are going good and well by the each group
members. Like I and my team completed all the task on the time with good quality of work.
Furthermore, team members are so supportive that they make all efforts for complete the
assignment. I have faced issues in making decision on time and get nervous to manage the time
in appropriate manners. Whereas, I found that I am good in collaboration and remembering the
things at a glance. It will further helps me to work at professional level and try to developed the
skills in different platform.
Analysis: I think all the working activities are going well and able to manage my
Organisational Behaviour assignment in an efficient manner. I think my team is able to work to
save the time and work in different scenario. I had searched on different concepts of the
assignment and try to work on the difficult sections in order to complete task on time.

Conclusion: I have learned that different things are used when project is needed to be
completed in a group. It is related to divide the activities in equal basis and each member should
have the capability to help each other. This would further help in realisation to work enough and
complete the activities in different ways. With the help of this project I and my team are able to
generate more information about the Nike Company's policies and practices related to
organisational behaviour.
Action Plan: When I am working with another group in future, I will talk to each other
about their strength and weakness. That will be helpful for decline the possibility of chaos within
the team and complete the work activities on time. To manage the confident, I analyse the
activities effectively and try to make an action plan or personal development plan for enhancing
my skills in an efficient manner.

and make different human resources to work significantly and improve the world of work. It is
the set of international benchmark for the growth of people professional development. In order to
make better decision and act as the confidence and make a career development and growth.
With the help of CIPD professional map I have analysed that there are different key
behavioural practices which are used to identified the personal growth and analyse the key factor
to experience for the growth of different platform. I analysed different behaviours which are
described at the first hand professional competences. In that three main behaviour which suites
my progress and for the growth of each behaviour and professional development. I have
evaluated three main behaviours are decisive thinker, Collaborative and courage to accept the
challenge.
Commentary on individual behaviour
In the above mentioned CIPD behaviour tools, I have analysed that after completing the
group assignment, I have faced issues in managing decisive thinker ability, as this skills is
helpful for developed to analyse and understand the data for make information quickly. With the
use of information and various options I am not able to take decision in an effective time or not
able to defend the decision which was taken by me.
