Ratifying the Republic: Antifederalists and Fed-
eralists in Constitutional Time. By David J. Sie-
mers. (Stanford: Stanford Univetsity Press,
2002. XX, 292 pp. $55.00, ISBN 0-8047-4106-
9.)
This book helps answer a significant question
about the eatly tepublic: why did atgument
about the Constitution's legitimacy cease aftet
its tatification? David J. Siemers addresses this
question by sctutinizing Antifedetalist leaders.
He shows that Antifedetalists helped legiti-
mize the Constitution and assured constitu-
tional governance aftet 1788.
Despite serious feats about the Constitu-
tion, Antifedetalist leadets were committed to
the rule of law and popular sovereignty. Aftet
tatification Antifedetalist leadets acquiesced
graceftiUy. They acknowledged that the people
should decíate ftindamental law and that rati-
fication was an example of populat sovet-
eignty. These stances, Siemets suggests, legiti-
mized the Constitution duting the Republic's
fotmative yeats.
Antifederalist leaders' contribution was not
confined to their quick acceptance of the
Constitution. By examining the congtesses of
the 1790s, Siemers shows that many fotmet
Antifederalist leadets patticipated in the new
4. national government. Alexandet Hamilton's
financial ptogtam confitmed their worst fears.
Rather than reject the Constitution, howevet,
Antifedetalists used early Federalist atguments
against the most extreme Federalists. Fotmet
Antifederalists used the essays by Publius to
portray loose consttuction and the doctrine of
Book Reviews 1003
implied powers as unconstitutional. Siemers
explains tbat argument for strict construction
and demands to follow original intent began
witb tbe former Antifederalists in tbe 1790s.
Tbese ideas suggest tbe significance of tbe An-
tifederalists well afi:er 1789.
Of course, during tbe 1790s Antifederalists
joined witb many former Federalists. Wben
discussing tbis latter group, called by Siemers
tbe Madisonians, Ratifying tbe Republic is less
useful. Siemers argues tbat Federalist 10 was
quickly peripberal to James Madison's tbougbt
and tbat Madison dropped it by tbe early
1790s. Political scientists used to say tbat all
American politics sprang from Federalist 10.
Tbat view was as unbelpful as saying tbat
notbing did. Siemers argues tbat Madison jet-
tisoned tbe tbinking in Federalist 10 because
after 1789 tbe Federalists demonstrated tbat
an interested minority could seize control of
government. In response, Madison advocated
building a majority witb a political party and
tbe two-party system.
5. Siemers's own evidence and virtually every-
tbing Madison wrote suggests tbat Madison
never viewed tbe party of Hamilton as a legit-
imate republican opponent or as an acceptable
political party. Indeed, I suspect tbat Madi-
son's defense of party was close to Edmund
Burke's. For Madison, a party was tbe princi-
pled group tbat advocated, agitated, and ran
candidates because it understood tbe common
good and used tbe tactics of popular politics to
tbwart interested factions seeking to misuse
power. For Madison, as for Burke, a political
party was quite legitimate, but political parties
were not.
Tbere are common tbemes connecting
Madison's tbinking in Federalist 10 to bis fears
during tbe 1790s. Nevertbeless, Siemers does
a fine job answering an important question
about tbe Antifederalists. Five years afi:er tbe
ratification of tbe Constitution, virtually ev-
erytbing Antifederalists feared under tbe Con-
stitution occurred. Tbey did not demand a
new convention or amendments tbat would
fundamentally alter tbe nation's political sys-
tem. Siemers explains wby.

Tbomas Jefferson and tbe Wall of Separation be-
tween Gburcb and State. By Daniel L. Dreis-
bacb. (New York: New York University Press,
2002. X, 283 pp. $42.00, ISBN 0-8147-1935-
6. X.)
Few figures of speecb bave exercised a stronger
bold over tbe American political and legal
imagination, especially in the last balf century,
tban Tbomas Jefferson's "wall of separation."
Invoked by tbe Supreme Court in numerous
cburcb-state cases beginning witb Everson v.
Board of Education (1947), tbe metapbor's
meaning and utility bave been scrutinized and
debated from seemingly every possible angle.
Still, Daniel L. Dreisbacb believes tbere is
more to be learned because of tbe failure of
scboiars and jurists to pay close enougb atten-
tion to tbe specific bistorical context out of
wbicb Jefferson wrote the pbrase in bis letter
to tbe Danbury Baptist Association of Con-
necticut in early 1802.
Building upon bis own important article in
the. Journal of Cburcb and State (1997), Dreis-
bacb provides a useful description and analysis
of tbe political world in wbicb tbe wall was
originally erected and a careful examination of
tbe letter's actual text. He argues tbat, amid
tbe Federalist-Republican squabbles sur-
rounding tbe 1800 election, Jefïerson con-
ceived tbe letter as a response to attacks tbat
bis failure to declare days of national tbanks-
giving and fasting was a sign of bis own bostil-
ity to religion. Tbougb writing to allies in tbe
cause of religious liberty as well as to support-
ers of Republican politics, tbe president never-
tbeless took great care to crafi: bis words re-
garding tbe meaning of tbe First Amendment.
He wisbed to make a case tbat on jurisdictional
7. grounds tbe national government, including
tbe cbief executive, bad no autbority in mat-
ters of religion. By implication, tbe Bill of
Rigbts reserved tbat power to tbe states.
Hence, be could not issue religious proclama-
tions as president, sometbing be bad been
willing to do as a colonial and state official.

Office Hours
Instead of traditional or virtual office hours, I believe that
leveraging technology to your advantage is best, therefore, I
make myself available at any time you need assistance or have a
question (during normal waking hours please). Feel free to text
me on my cell phone listed above (I prefer text since it is less
disruptive if I am doing something else when you try to reach
me). I will respond via text as quickly as possible and we can
arrange a phone call if needed as well. If you would like to talk
with me at any time between live chat sessions, send me an
email message at any time, day or night, with your questions or
to set up a meeting. You should expect a response from me
fairly quickly, within 24 hours most of the time, but no later
than 48 hours. Of course, you can also contact me via
telephone. If I am unavailable, feel free to leave voicemail on
my cell phone, I check that frequently. Follow up your
voicemail with a quick email message to let me know it is there,
in case there is some glitch and I do not get the voicemail in a
timely manner.
Get Acquainted Postings:It is very helpful to know something
about the other students enrolled in this course. Post your brief
bio to the classroom Discussion Board no later than the end of
the 1st week of class. This DB can be found in folder titled
“Week One”. You will see a sample there in the form of my
introduction.
Interaction Tools
Familiarize yourself with the course website by taking the time
to review all of the features. Click on all of the tabs, open all of
the folders, and look for ways to help you feel a part of the
12. community that is this class. Begin with the “Start Here” folder.
Here you can work through the process of learning your way
around the site. In addition, several features in this course
website are designed to purposefully aid you in interacting with
your classmates and your faculty member. A few of these
features include the course announcements, the “Get Acquainted
Discussion”, email, and of course the Collaborate Live
Conferencing function that will allow us to ‘hold live chats’
weekly. Be sure to read the announcements posted by me
throughout each week.
A minimum of one, 60 minute live chat session will be
scheduled each week on Wednesday evenings from 7-8 PM. To
access the live chat sessions you will simply need to click on
the Live Chat tab. When you do this a box will open with a
section titled “Collaborate”. Click here and you will be able to
access the live chat as it is going on or the archives of a chat
you missed. Although these sessions are optional, this live
interactive forum can provide you with the opportunity to ask
questions about the assignments, share ideas with other students
and faculty, and delve a bit deeper into the content area. Though
not mandatory, your active participation in the live chat
sessions do allow you to accumulate “participation/engagement’
points in the course. The purpose of the chat session is to allow
for directed discussion of assignments and some aspects of
course content. If you are unable to attend Live Chats you can
still earn those participation/engagement points. To do so you
must watch/listen to the recorded chat. When you are done,
upload a 2-paragraph discussion of what we talked about in the
live chat to the “Live Chat-Missed Session” dropbox in the
folder for the week you missed. In addition, list any questions I
asked and your response to those questions. I need to have this
prior to the start of the next live chat. One other reminder; do
not sign into the live chat if you are in a face-to-face course at
that time. You will lose participation points in both classes if
you do so.
13. Remember: All Live Chat Sessions are archived for students to
watch/listen to at a later time. Bring your questions, your
experiences, your sense of humor, and your insights! Submit
Assignments
The Discussion Board assignments are posted directly into the
discussion board found in the folders for weeks assigned. You
do not need to submit these assignments elsewhere. Do however
be careful to post directly into the Discussion Board. Do not
attach your DB work. All other assignments will be submitted to
the Turnitin Drop Box for the week assigned. These are visible
under the Lessons Tab and in the folder for the week each is
due.
Coursework:
1) All assignments cannot have more than 10% of your work in
quoted content. If you submit a document with more than that
you will receive a deduction as follows:
(a) 16-20%: 50%
(b) Above 20%: zero on the assignment
2) I do not accept late work. If you submit something past the
due date/time I will not grade it and you will receive a zero for
the assignment.
3) I do not accept any work that has been submitted in another
course.
4) I am very serious about source citations, APA format, and
plagiarism. This is a master’s level course. As a minimum, you
will cite sources as you use them and provide references. All
words taken directly from another source will be in quotation
marks and cited as required for APA. This is true for all
assignments. In APA if you do not cite the source in the body of
your work, you cannot list it as a source. If you do not cite
14. sources/reference at all you will receive a zero for your work, I
will not grade it.
5) Wikipedia, changingminds.com, dictionaries, or other sources
that are not scholarlyare not to be used in this course. If you
are unsure if it is a scholarly resource or not, ask a librarian.
Do not list any sources that are not scholarly in your work.
Assignments, Format, and Grading:
I will work to answer all emails within 24 hours. In addition all
work submitted will be graded within 72 hours of the closure of
the due date/time frame. If I am to be late on that for any
reason, I will email the class and let you know the issue and
expected time for completion.
All written work, including the DB postings should be
constructed using MS Word, Times New Roman Font of 12.
Double-space your answers for readability and double space
between paragraphs. I do not allow for listing, numbered,
alphabetized or bulleted lists as a part of your answers in the
work in this course. Pay attention to spelling and grammar.
Information from all sources must be denoted as such through
the use of proper citations. Pay special attention to the
approximate length of the assignment. If it says 3-4 pages, I’ll
be looking for a minimum of 3 pages. If you are not hitting that
mark, your grade will suffer. Cover pages, abstracts, executive
summaries, charts, graphics and photos do not count in the page
or paragraph minimums.
Assignment Deadlines:
In the learning environment as well as in the work environment,
due dates are essential. The course assignments have due dates
to ensure that the student can in fact successfully complete the
class within the course timeframe while also benefiting from
instructor input before preparing each new assignment. Also
important is timely participation in the interactive components
15. of the classroom.
No late work will be accepted, it will not be reviewed, and will
receive an automatic zero.
Turnitin Usage
Turnitin is used via the drop boxes for all written papers. The
faculty member may also at any point submit DB postings for
review in Turnitin in this course. The drop boxes allow the
student to submit the paper within the weekly folders. In
addition, the faculty member can access the work there, grade
it, and when completed, the work with faculty comments is
made available to student within the same weekly folder.
Turnitin therefore acts as an assignment depository, a place for
faculty to pick up, review, grade and offer feedback to students,
and as a plagiarism check point. I will grade and review work in
the Turnitin drop box. I will review every paper for plagiarism
by taking out the bibliography, the work in quotation marks,
and then ascertaining whether there are issues or not. I will
contact you if I have a concern. I have set the system up so that
you are able to see the same report I see in Turnitin. Please
review the content on academic integrity below and feel free to
ask questions.Student Code of Conduct
All students must communicate in a professional manner in this
classroom. The classroom refers to any technological
mechanism used including the Discussion Board areas and Chat
Rooms. All communications and interactions must be done in a
respectful manner. Treat everyone professionally and with
respect. Use of inappropriate language will not be tolerated.
Academic Honesty
Ohio Dominican considers plagiarism and academic dishonesty
a serious offense. Academic Integrity is key to learning and
personal growth. The Student Handbook, Course Catalog, and
each course syllabus define plagiarism and explain academic
16. honesty. Please refer to the policies set forth in those
publications.
Academic Integrity
All policies on academic honesty will be strictly enforced.
Along with preparing for and attending classes, each student has
the responsibility of promoting high academic standards.
Academic dishonesty includes: (a) cheating, (b) fabrications and
falsifications, (c) multiple submissions, (d) plagiarism, (see
comments below), (e) complicity in academic dishonesty.
Proven cases of dishonesty will result in a grade of F in the
course and possible dismissal.
Plagiarism
Each student is expected to present his or her own work. All
papers, examinations, and other assignments must be original or
explicit acknowledgment must be given for the use of another
person’s ideas or language. Examples of plagiarism as it might
occur in term papers, research projects, group projects, or other
written assignments are listed below.
1. Failure to use quotation marks:
a. All work that is quoted directly from a source should be
enclosed in quotation marks and followed by proper reference
notation. Failure to use quotation marks, even when footnotes
are provided, is plagiarism.
2. Failure to document ideas:
a. When a student uses one or more ideas from and/or
paraphrases a source, he or she must appropriately reference
such material. Failure to provide an exact reference is
plagiarism.
3. False documentation:
a. falsifying or inventing sources or page references is
plagiarism.
17. In addition, when team assignments are given, it is considered
to be a violation of academic integrity to place someone’s name
on a project that they did not participate fully in completing. If
you allow your name to be placed on a team assignment when
you did not participate, it will be construed as falsely indicating
that you worked on a submission and therefore a violation of
academic integrity. On the other hand, if you place someone’s
name or allow someone’s name to be placed on a submission
when you know they did not contribute, you will be violating
academic integrity as defined here. If you didn’t work on it,
don’t allow someone to put your name on the submission. If
someone on the team did not contribute to the submission then
do not allow that person’s name to be placed on the submission
to protect yourself.
Disability Services and Support
It is the policy and practice of Ohio Dominican University to
provide reasonable accommodations for students with properly
documented disabilities. Students who need accommodations
for a disability must first register with the Office of Disability
Services to verify the disability and to establish eligibility for
accommodations. Students who have questions about Disability
Services are invited to contact Leia Arnold, Director of
Disability Services in Erskine Hall, Room 214, by
email [email protected] or phone 614-251-4233 for a
confidential discussion.
Written Assignment Expectations:
All written work should be presented in a professional style and
follow basic principles of effective written communication. In
addition the following format requirements are mandatory:
18. · Double-spaced
· 1-inch margins
· 12 pt. Times New Roman Font
· APA style standards (without the use of abstracts for this
course)
· Free from grammatical and/or typographical errors
· Demonstrated graduate-level critical thinking, reflection,
synthesis and analysis skills
· All written work submitted will be graded on both composition
and content.
· All work must be developed utilizing MS Word.
· You may not submit any work from another course.
· Failure to use APA citations and references will result in a
zero
Assignment Details (See end of syllabus for details on article
critique requirements, research paper requirements, case study
write up, and PDP requirements).
Discussion Boards
You will complete discussion board assignments in weeks 1
through 8. All discussion board assignments are to be framed as
academic work. They should not be informal in language or
presentation. I grade two things in the discussion board: Your
answers to the questions I have posted AND your participation
in the discussion board through quality interaction with your
classmates around the content we are studying that week. The
DB grade you receive will reflect the quality of your post
content, writing and your attention to the written work
expectations listed above. The quality of your participation will
be reflected in your “participation/engagement’ score for the
course.
Do not attach files in the Discussion Board. It simply takes too
much time for us all to open them and read them. I will NOT
19. open an attachment in the DB. You must post your response in
the space provided in the discussion board area. To do so, click
on the new post. In the DB you are to provide the question, then
your answer. If you are responding to a classmate’s work, you
read the post then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on
reply. Be sure to include the name of the person you are writing
to and your own name in your replies.

my introduction.
Industry Analysis
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop the
business research, writing, and citation skills you will need to
be successful in the ODU MBA/MHA Programs. Additionally,
you will gain experience utilizing three important business
databases available through the ODU Library web pages.
Industry Choices Fall I - 2017:
Banks
Hospitals
Airlines
Insurance
Instructions
1. Compose a full four page paper (not including title page or
reference page) that accomplishes the following:
a. Provides a summary of the history and current functioning of
the industry you have been assigned. Your paper should offer a
brief (a few paragraphs) industry history, external factors that
impact the industry (e.g. economic trends, legislation, customer
demographic trends, etc.), current products and service
offerings, basis for competition in the industry (business
models), description of markets served, identification of major
25. competitors, and a brief assessment of the financial health of
the industry. Given that you are limited to four full typed pages,
you will need to be concise, organized, and efficient in your
word choice.
b. Your paper should be supported with at least 5 in text and
reference citations from different sources. You must include at
least one source from each of the three data bases described
below. You will be using APA citation style and may use the
APA template available in Microsoft Word or one provided in
PantherLearn. All APA guidelines should be followed including
those related to in-text citations, cover page, reference page
preparation, running head, etc.
c. Your paper will be graded based on quality of content,
strength of writing skills, quality of sources, and quality of
APA citation.
d. An example industry analysis paper is provided in
PantherLearn.
e. Do not include an executive summary or abstract
Data Bases
1. Online Data Base: Morningstar Library Edition: This is an
extensive data base focused on providing investor’s information
about publically traded companies. It can be found among the
business data bases on our Library’s web pages. Once you get
into the data base you can type the name or “ticker” for a
company in your industry in the search box. Then you can
quickly find detailed information on the company. The
“Analyst’s Report” is particularly helpful as it offers current
information on the organization and its industry prepared by an
analyst with expertise in understanding the particular industry
and company. Additionally the “financial statements” and “key
ratios” links offer current and historical financial information.
2. Standard and Poors Net Advantage: This is an extensive data
base best known for its high quality industry information. To
26. access this, click on the “Industries” tab (at the top) and select
your industry. The information is rich and includes relevant
trends, competitive environment, financial analysis “how to”
information, as well as information on other relevant industry
metrics. The data base also includes other information on
organizations as well.
3. Business Source Complete: This is an extensive data base
best known for its quick access to magazine, trade, and journal
articles. The searchable data base allows you to search for
articles in specific trade publications, magazines or journals
relevant to your industry. In this data base you can also access
SWOT analyses and Datamonitor Company or Industry profiles.
These Datamonitor profiles are extensive research reports on
publically traded companies or Industries.
Recommendations for Success on MBA Submissions
1. While in the MBA you will be writing numbers
research/analysis assignments. Typically, in research/analysis
papers you are not to include your opinions unless specifically
asked for in the assignment.
2. Cite all sources using APA (American Psychological
Association) citation style. You should cite both in-text and in a
Reference page provided at the end of your paper. When you
create a “New Document” in Word, click on “My Template” and
then select “APA Format.” Use this template for building your
paper to simplify all APA formatting issues. Note that APA
resources can be linked through the Course Page. Your papers
must include a cover sheet, body of the paper, and bibliography
all APA style.
3. Writing skills are important! If you know writing skills are a
growth area for you, then work with the Writing Center at ODU
BEFORE turning in your papers. They can help you improve
your final draft and help you further develop your writing skills
at the same time.
27. Essays
All article essays are due on Saturday night by midnight. APA
format and citation is a must. Follow formatting as is written
earlier in the syllabus (times new roman font of 12, double
space, one inch margins, cover page & reference page). The
analysis should be written following your thorough reading of
the respective article(s) and should include the following
components:
· Essential content from the articles synthesized into a summary
of what the author(s) had to say about the topic.
· A discussion of how the information in the articles content is
useful in professional development or career planning. Feel free
to use “I” statements in this section.
· Your reflections on the content in the articles from your own
personal and professional experience. You may use “I” in this
section.
· Write these essays as if your reader has never read the articles
and is not a member of our class. Present this essay as if you
were submitting it to a professional or trade journal sharing the
information your garnered from your sources and integrating
your own experiences.
*Essay format to include: Intro paragraph, body of the work,
and a conclusion. Essays should be 3-4 pages (no more, no
less), not including cover page and reference page.
Article Presentations
Students will construct, deliver and film a presentation utilizing
power point (or another such product). All presentations will be
approximately 5 minutes in length. Articles will be selected on
the first night of class from the list provided below. In addition
to presenting the article, students will write an essay about it
28. (see section above) and submit it prior to the start of class.

Professional Development Plan
The Professional Development Plan (PDP) will provide you the
unique opportunity to assess your strengths, weaknesses, and
undeveloped capabilities in light of your vision for your
professional future. Through the use of assessment
instrumentation, developmental theory, and other tools, you will
formulate a personal, detailed road map that will target specific
competencies for future development. Competency development
will typically leverage work roles, project assignments, training
opportunities, and your MBA/MHA Program to meet
developmental objectives. The PDP will be amended and
updated in your final MBA course, MBA 690.
In your PDP you should include the following:
29. 1. Personal Vision Statement – carefully craft the text for an
article that will be written about you in 3-5 years (your choice
in terms of relevant time frame). The article will appear in an
industry periodical or a corporate newsletter. It will praise and
summarize your work and personal accomplishments over the
stated time period. It should be as detailed and comprehensive
as possible. As you prepare to craft this, consider where you
want to be personally and professionally at the end of the time
frame. What do you want to be “doing” and how will you be
making a difference? Also consider the challenges that may lie
along the way. It is fair that there might be wins and losses as
well as sacrifices and rewards on your path and reflected in
your article. Your path need not be “stereotypical” (e.g.
climbing the corporate ladder) but can be as creative and
outside-the-lines as you are. Finally, in preparation of
composing this make sure you consider how your journey
reflects your core values.
1. Assessment Instrument Summary and Interpretation
This section will provide you an opportunity to summarize and
reflect upon the results of the Assessment Instruments you have
taken in the course. For each instrument you should provide (1)
a clear description of the instrument taken, results, and what
they are stated to mean (a chart may be a convenient way to
present this data) and (2) Your reflections on those outcomes
and meanings as they relate to you and your future vision. You
should do this for each of the four instruments below. Finally,
you should discuss patterns you observed across all instruments
that you believe are important.
1. Competency Sort (Include table)
1. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
1. Clifton StrengthsFinder
1. Emotional Intelligence Appraisal
1. Presentation Skills
1. Writing Skills Assessment
30. 1. Personal SWOT Analysis – Your SWOT analysis should
contain the following sections:
1. Strengths: Identify and define specifically what you believe
to be your greatest strengths (generically speaking). This should
not be a set of one-word answers. Consider the unique contexts
in which your strengths have developed and been used. Also
consider nuances of your particular manifestation of a particular
strength – be specific and offer examples. Finally, consider the
scope and scale of your use of the strength. “Strong
Management Skills,” for example, is simply too broad – what is
the scope and scale of your successful management experience;
what types of activities or projects were you managing; what
was the nature of your direct reports prior education,
experience, and degree of autonomy? What other contextual
factors should be included that might have interacted with your
successful use of Management Skills? Research suggests that
managers successful in one context may not be successful in a
different one. A thoughtful process here may result in you
further refining your understanding of your “strengths.”
1. Weaknesses: Identify and define specifically what you
believe to be your areas of greatest challenge. Describe the
unique contexts in which your weaknesses have exhibited
themselves and be specific with examples. For example, simply
saying, “poor delegation skills” is insufficient. In what specific
situations did you attempt to delegate and meet with a sense that
things had not gone well? Who were you attempting to delegate
to and what were you delegating? Often questions such as these
will cause you to reframe and restate your “weakness.”
1. Under (or un-) developed Capabilities: In this section attempt
to identify those Competencies that you believe will be
important to your future, but have not, as of yet, been
significantly developed. This is different than a weakness
31. (something you have tried repeatedly and know has been a
challenge). This is simply something that you have not had an
opportunity to develop. For example, “Team Leadership” if you
have never led a team. Again, try to be a specific as possible.
1. Possible Emerging New Opportunities – Are there possible
opportunities that may or should present themselves? If so,
discuss those opportunities. Are there possibilities that you plan
to seek out or pursue? If so, discuss those possibilities and your
plans with regard to them.
1. Trends that may be important to your future: Try to identify
several external (to you) trends that you believe will be relevant
to your future and then do some additional research to learn
more about them. For example, if you aspire to open a coffee
shop, you may want to research business trends related to coffee
retail products. You may want to also understand recent changes
in coffee value chain issues such as “Fair Trade Coffee.” If you
are considering working toward a position in the healthcare
industry, then explore trends in healthcare. The trends you
identify should be ones that may be interactive with your Vision
Statement and thus may end up as “actionable” on your
development plan as an educational goal.
1. Threats to your Vision – Are there things that might get in
the way of you achieving your vision? Discuss each of these and
how you might mitigate any potential negative impact.
1. Identify 3 competencies for development: Identify 3
competencies for development and discuss why each was
chosen. The selected competencies should support the
achievement of your personal vision statement. You can target
strengths in order to turn them into “Towering Strengths,”
weaknesses that you believe might “get in the way” if not
strengthened, or undeveloped competencies that you believe
will need to be developed in the future if you are to achieve
32. your vision.
1. Detailed Development Plan: For each targeted competency,
your detailed development plan should include the following:
1. Detailed and specific definition of the competency –
“Improve presentation skills” is not enough. Try to be as
specific as possible. Not only, will it help you focus your
development efforts, it will also help you evaluate your
progress along the way.
1. For each competency identify at least three activities that
support its development. Your activities should include at least
one activity that”
1. Provides “inputs” or new information about the competency –
this could be a literature review with specific targeted readings,
attending a specific workshop or seminar, reading a specific
book, etc.
1. Provides “practice” of the new competency – this could be
assumption of a new work or committee role, or “doing”
specific things differently at work or as part of a social group.
1. Provides feedback to you based on your “practice” activity
above. So, if you read a book on “delegation skills,” and then
take on a new committee leadership role in order to “practice”
your delegation skills, then you could seek “feedback” on your
progress from a committee member, peer, mentor, or boss.
1. All “inputs” and “activities” identified above should be
specific and “calenderable.” That is, they should be specific
activities with dates for completion or attendance. Non-specific
and non-calendared development plans gather dust and lose
momentum.
1. Your development plan can be built as a chart if helpful.
1. Feedback from someone other than yourself on your
Competency Sort Results for your current skills.
33. Steps for Competency Sort Assignment
Cut the competency sort cards out and put them into a pile.
Place the card sort tally sheet on a table beside you.
Take the competency sort cards and put them into 4 piles bases
on your current skill. One pile will include things you are
strong at, the second one will include things you have some
capability at, the third will hold a pile of skills you are weak at,
and the 4th will be the pile you place all things you haven’t
developed as a skill yet.
Now, take a moment and look over the skills in pile 1 and in
pile 2. Be particularly hard on yourself….and be sure you’ve
got those in the right pile. Very often we are a bit too generous
with those skills we designate as strengths. When done, record
your findings on the Card Sort Tally Sheet. Starting with the
first pile (things you think you are strong at), go thru the pile
putting a one by the skills on the Card Sort Tally Sheet. So if
you think you are strong in delegating skills (number 14 on the
sheet), you put a 1 there. Continue with all skills in that pile.
Next move to the 2nd pile, 3rd, and 4th noting which skills fell
into which pile on the Card Sort Tally Sheet.
You then reshuffle the Competency Sort Cards and begin anew.
This time you are going to sort the skills based on the current
job you hold. You are not assessing you in the job. Instead you
are going to sort the skills based on how often ANYONE in the
job needs to utilize the skill to do it well. Here you go thru the
pile and this time create 4 piles. In pile one you will put all
things that are Important or Essential in performing the job
well. Next in pile 2. Be sure to differentiate the ones and twos!
Next you will place the skills that are Important At Times, then
Seldom or rarely important for pile 3, leaving those skills that
are Not Important for pile four. Record these results in the
second column of the Card Sort Tally Sheet.
Now begin thinking about where you would like to be in your
career/professionally in 3-5 years. Then work at drafting a
vision statement (see PDP instructions in the syllabus).
34. You then shuffle the cards one more time and think about the
position you aspire to in your vision statement. What is that job
like? What skills are utilized there? You then repeat just what
you did in the last grouping. In pile one you will put all things
that are Important or Essential in performing that aspirational
job well. Next in pile 2 you will place the skills that are
Important At Times, then Seldom or rarely important for pile 3,
leaving those skills that are Not Important for pile four. Record
these results in the second column of the Card Sort Tally Sheet.
When you are done you do two things:
1. Compare the differences between your current skill set and
the job you have. Are you over challenged, under challenged ,
or balanced?
2. Compare your current skill set to the job you’d like to hold in
3-5 years. Will you be over challenged (need to grow some
skills to be ready now), under challenged (not using your
strengths in a future job), or balanced?
