The following assignment is based on the readings from Chapters 1-3 of our online textbook, specifically focusing on the inner domains of Self-Awareness and Self-Management.
To Begin:
Take a few minutes to identify a recent professional or personal situation that required you to tap into your inner domains of self-awareness and self-management. (Please choose a situation that you are comfortable exploring in an assignment.)
Taking Action:
In a total of 400-500 words address the following questions from your personal perspective. Your responses can be in the form of an essay or you can write your responses to each question by first restating the question. (The words in the questions are not part of the total word count.)
- Describe a recent professional or personal situation that required you to tap into your inner domains of self-awareness and self-management.
- Self-awareness is the capability to recognize and understand one’s own emotional state, tendencies, strengths, and limits. Describe observable evidence of what you were experiencing in this situation that informed your self-awareness.
- Self-management is the capability to direct one’s reactions, emotional impulses, and resources constructively towards a goal. Describe observable evidence of what you were experiencing in this situation that informed your self-management.
- In the actual situation, what action did you take to address the situation and what was the impact of that action?
- Based on readings from our online textbook, Chapters 1-3, what self-awareness and self-management competencies would you tap into to address this situation in the future? How would you build these competencies?
