Personal Development Plan

As we have learned in Chapter 8, employee development through performance management is important. However, we must not ignore the importance of ensuring our managers and leaders are developed. Just like subordinates are measured using performance standards, managers should also be measured against set standards.

For this assignment, you are required to create a self-assessment of yourself. Specifically, pretend that you’re a manager. Discuss the following:
Overall Strengths (2 minimum)

• Overall Weaknesses (2 minimum)
• Accomplishments in your Employment
• Two (2) personal goals and two (2) professional goals that you hope to accomplish
• Feedback that you can apply to achieve your goals. For this requirement, consider the feedback that you have received from parents, friends, classmates, instructors, etc. and how this feedback will assist you in improving/accomplishing your goals.

Think about your overall strengths and weaknesses in terms of competencies you need to be an effective manager at work. 

Consider the following scenarios:

#1: A meteorologist wants to collect and analyze as much data as they can on thunderstorms over the past decade to more accurately forecast a future trend for storms.

#2: A children’s physician is gathering data on the sleeping habits of children born with autism to provide a foundation for a new experiment on the subject.

Using the list of Open Data Sources (Links to an external site.) from the Open Data Research Guide (Links to an external site.), determine the best open data source for each of these two scenarios — where should the researchers look for data? To get credit for this assignment, submit a text entry containing:

• The data source you chose for each scenario
• Your reasoning — why is this data source the best choice?

Format: In a separate paragraph, answer ONLY two of the following questions below. Answer each question . Responses should demonstrate understanding of the reading and refer to relevant concepts from the chapters to explain your responses. 

What comes to mind when you hear the word feminist? How did you come to have the ideas you have about feminism?

• How do you see sexuality connect to identity in the media? Why do you think the media portrays sexuality and identity the way it does?

What are some common misconceptions of disability? How have persons with disabilities positively impacted the world and changed our perceptions?

• history of presenting problem; past psychiatric history; substance use/abuse; social history including where person was reared, extended family and relationships, friends, marital/partner history, etc.;
• relevant family history; medical history; mental status information;
• possible defense mechanisms client may be using; and
• cultural, oppression, discrimination, and spiritual considerations.

Though a real intake would be thorough and somewhat lengthy, for this paper keep this section brief and include only pertinent information.

1. Assessment of the problem(s) and client’s strengths.

1. A plan for working with the client and the problem(s).

1. Intervention(s) to be used with the client (link one of your interventions to a particular policy or programs, i.e., Medicaid, TANF, etc. and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the policy for client).

1. Evaluation of the process.

1. A plan for follow-up.

Part One

Consider sampling in statistics. Why do we take samples? Why do we want representative samples (and what does it mean)?

Part Two

Now, think about what you might work on for the final project (remember, to consult the list of subreddits Download remember, to consult the list of subreddits). Are there limitations to the data source and your sample (based on what you know and have seen so far)? Why? How might you design this differently to get a more representative sample?

Further – in your opinion is there still value to be gained even if a sample is not representative? [This will be discussed more later, but I want you to consider diverse data and what it has to offer us]
