Communication  Assignment
1. Identify the most commonly cited skills and competencies associated with successful managing
and leading in organisations.
2. Nominate one management skill (see further the different skills in the textbooks), or one aspect
of a relevant management skill, to develop further over the semester.
3. Justify your selection of this management skill based on relevant past experiences (especially
any ‘critical incidents’), completed self-assessment exercises (see further below), future career
ambitions, and/or relevant theory.
4. Pinpoint any ‘guidelines’ (principles and/or methods) which have influenced your past approach
to this management skill (that is, explicit or implicit theories informing your practice).
5. State up to three issues, questions or problems relating to the development and/or application of
your chosen management skill that you would like to investigate further in the next assessment.
Note: stating these issues, questions or problems early on will help you be more focussed in the
next research task. You can modify these in the second assessment if you need to.
In the appendices to your paper, please include:

You should include the scores of at least three ‘Associates’, or people who know you well or who

a copy of your associates questions are on pages 44-47. You will need to use photocopies of these
pages.

Myers Briggs and DISC personality tests, Strengthsfinder2.0, Standout etc.)
