Portrait of an ESFP - Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
(Extraverted Sensing with Introverted Feeling)
The Performer
As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five
senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according
to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
ESFP's live in the world of people possibilities. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and
fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and
drama in their lives.
ESFP’s have very strong inter-personal skills, and may find themselves in the role of the peacemaker
frequently. Since they make decisions by using their personal values, they are usually very sympathetic and
concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite generous and warm. They are very observant
about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding
warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because
they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care.
ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not
developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become
over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties
and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions.
For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people.
They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy
stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life
to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.
ESFP’s love people and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of
everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly
warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once
crossed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed
them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.
The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an
optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with them.
In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain
away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may not truly get to the nature of the issue, but

The document discusses personality types and how they impact team dynamics in software development. It defines temperament as innate personality traits versus character which develops through life experiences. It describes four main temperament types - Artisans, Guardians, Rational and Idealists - and how they differ in traits like sensation vs intuition, judging vs perception, thinking vs feeling, and extraversion vs introversion. Specifically, it provides an in-depth overview of the characteristics of Artisans, including their preference for hands-on, practical learning and focus on immediate needs over future planning.
The document provides descriptions of 16 personality types as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment. Each type is summarized in 1-2 sentences highlighting their key characteristics. The types include ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, INTP, ESTP, ESFP, ENFP, ENTP, ESTJ, ESFJ, ENFJ, and ENTJ.
The document provides an in-depth profile of the ISFJ (Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging) personality type. It describes ISFJs as warm, kind-hearted individuals who value harmony and cooperation. They have an excellent memory, strong sense of responsibility, and learn best through practical application. The document also discusses suitable careers for ISFJs, their strengths in relationships, as parents, and as friends.
ENTPs are highly creative individuals who enjoy taking risks and pursuing new ideas and challenges. They see possibilities in everything and are always generating new ideas and alternatives. This makes them well-suited for entrepreneurial careers. However, ENTPs may struggle with follow-through and can frustrate others with their frequent changes of focus. As parents and leaders, ENTPs encourage growth and new experiences in others but can neglect routine tasks and expressions of affection in favor of intellectual pursuits.
The document provides an overview of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment. It discusses the history of MBTI's development and describes its four dimensions used to assess personality types: Extroversion vs Introversion, Sensing vs Intuition, Thinking vs Feeling, and Judging vs Perceiving. Sixteen personality types are identified from combinations of the four dimensions. Common traits of each type are outlined. Famous individuals and their presumed types are also listed to illustrate the diversity of personalities.
ENTJs are natural born leaders who thrive in challenging careers. They are focused on achieving goals and solving problems in a logical, decisive manner. As executives, ENTJs are driven to advance organizations through visionary planning and efficient strategies. However, ENTJs may struggle with being overly harsh and lacking sensitivity to others' feelings. Developing intuition and balancing thinking with consideration of others can help ENTJs become more effective leaders.

The document discusses different personality types - Orange, Gold, Blue, and Green - based on a "true colors" personality assessment. For each color type, it provides characteristics, behaviors at work and in relationships, childhood tendencies, communication tips, and common stressors. It emphasizes that personality is complex and situational, and one should see individuals as unique rather than defined by a single color type.

The document discusses ways to be sensitive towards others. It provides tips for paying attention to facial expressions and body language to understand how others are feeling. It recommends asking open-ended questions, giving full attention without distractions, clarifying understanding, and choosing respectful ways to express feelings. The overall message is that being sensitive involves actively listening to understand others' perspectives and validating their emotions.
The document summarizes the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a psychological assessment that identifies a person's personality type based on their preferences in four dichotomies:
- Where they focus their energy (Extraversion/Introversion)
- How they take in information (Sensing/iNtuition)
- How they make decisions (Thinking/Feeling)
- How they organize their lives (Judging/Perceiving)
It describes the origins and uses of the MBTI, provides examples of characteristics associated with each preference, and notes some common biases that can occur between types. The conclusion emphasizes that the MBTI suggests but does not determine one's type,
Do you wish to live a more spiritual, holistic, and meaningful life? We have got you covered with our complete, in-depth guide to attaining self-actualization.
The document describes the INFJ personality type. INFJs make up less than 1% of the population but have a strong sense of idealism and morality. They are not just dreamers but take concrete steps to achieve goals and make a positive impact. INFJs find their purpose in helping others but want to address the root causes of problems to prevent the need for rescue. They are passionate, creative advocates who fight for their ideas and values with conviction but not for personal gain.
When it comes to finding the 'ideal' job, determining your personality profile can go a long way in helping you to find exactly what is 'ideal'.
Not sure what your personality preferences are? Book in for a session with a career consultant – it will be one of the most enjoyable and useful interactions of your professional life.

PROBLEM 14-7AProblem 14-7AQuestion 1a) Debt to equity ratiosPulaski CompanyScott Company Total liabilities$360,000.00$240,000.00Total Equity$500,000.00$200,000.00Debt-Equity Ratio0.721.2Question 2The debt to equity ratio measures the amount of debt a company uses has to finance its business for every dollar of equity it has. A higher debt to equity ratio implies that a company uses more debt than equity for financing. In this case, the debt to equity ratio for Pulaski Company is 0.72 which is less than 1 implying that the stockholder's equity exceeds the amount of debt borrowed. Thus Pulaski Company may not likely suffer from risks brought about by huge amount of debts in the capital structure. On the other hand, the debt to equity ratio of Scott Company is 1.2 which is greater than 1 implying that the debt exceeds the totalamount stockholders equity. Huge debts is associated with a lot of risks. First, there is the risk of defaulting whereby the company may be unable to repay its debt and therefore leading to bankruptcy. Second, a company may find it difficult to obtain additional funding from creditors.This is because the creditors prefer companies with low debt to equity ratio. Finally, there is the risks of violating the debt covenants. A covenant is an agreement that requires a company to maintain adequate financial ratio levels. Too much borrowings may violate this covenant. Since ScottCompany has a higher debt to equity ratio, it may experience these risks which may eventually lead to the company being declared bankrupt .

EXERCISE 11 USING STATISTICS TO DESCRIBE A STUDY SAMPLE
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
Most studies describe the subjects that comprise the study sample. This description of the sample is called the sample characteristics which may be presented in a table or the narrative of the article. The sample characteristics are often presented for each of the groups in a study (i.e. experimental and control groups). Descriptive statistics are used to generate sample characteristics, and the type of statistic used depends on the level of measurement of the demographic variables included in a study (Burns & Grove, 2007). For example, measuring gender produces nominal level data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, and mode. Measuring educational level usually produces ordinal data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, mode, median, and range. Obtaining each subject's specific age is an example of ratio data that can be described using mean, range, and standard deviation. Interval and ratio data are analyzed with the same type of statistics and are usually referred to as interval/ratio level data in this text.

Troy and Dalgas-Pelish (2003) conducted a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of a self-care intervention (Tiredness Management Guide [TMG]) on postpartum fatigue. The study subjects included 68 primiparous mothers, who were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (32 subjects) or the control group (36 subjects) using a computer program. The results of the study indicated that the TMG was effective in reducing levels of morning postpartum fatigue from the 2nd to 4th weeks postpartum. These researchers recommend that “mothers need to be informed that they will probably experience postpartum fatigue and be taught to assess and manage this phenomenon” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, pp. 44-5).
Relevant Study Results
“A total of 80 women were initially enrolled [in the study] … twelve of these women dropped out of the study resulting in a final sample of 68.” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, p. 39). The researchers presen.

Problem 1 (30 marks)Review enough information about .docxChantellPantoja184
Problem 1 (30 marks)
Review enough information about Trinidad Drilling Ltd. to propose a vision and strategic objectives for the company. Develop a balanced scorecard that will help the company achieve this vision and monitor how well it is accomplishing its strategic objectives. Include a strategy map in table format that shows objectives and performance measures, with arrows illustrating hypothesized cause-and -effect relationships. Provide rationale for your strategy map. The body of your report should not exceed 1,000 words. Cite material you used to prepare the response and provide references in an appendix.
Problem 2 (20 marks)
Ajax Auto Upholstery Ltd. manufactures upholstered products for automobiles, vans, and trucks. Among the various Ajax plants around Canada is the Owlseye plant located in rural Alberta.
The chief financial officer has just received a report indicating that Ajax could purchase the entire annual output of the Owlseye plant from a foreign supplier for $37 million per year.
The budgeted operating costs (in thousands) for the Owlseye plant’s for the coming year is as follows:
Materials $15,000
Labor
Direct $12,000
Supervision 4,000
Indirect plant 5,000 19,000
Overhead
Depreciation – plant 6,000
Utilities, property tax, maintenance 2,000
Pension expense 4,500
Plant manager and staff 2,500
Corporate headquarters overhead allocation 3,000 18,000
Total budgeted costs $52,000
If material purchase orders are cancelled as a consequence of the plant closing, termination charges would amount to 10 percent of the annual cost of direct materials in the first year (zero thereafter).
A clause in the Ajax union contract requires the company to provide employment assistance to its former employees for 12 months after a plant closes. The estimated cost to administer this service if the Owlseye plant closes would be $2 million. $3.6 million of next year’s pension expense would continue indefinitely whether or not the plant remains open. About $900,000 of labour would still be required in the first year after closure to decommission the plant. After that, the plant would be sold for an estimated $1 million. Utilities, property taxes, and maintenance costs would remain unchanged in the first year after closure, but disappear when the plant is sold.
The plant manager and her staff would be somewhat affected by the closing of the Owlseye plant. Some managers would still be responsible for managing three other plants. As a result, total management salaries would be about 50% of the current level, starting at closure and remaining into the future.
Required:
Assume you are the company’s chief financial officer. Perform a five-year financial analysis and make a recommendation whether to close the Owlseye plant on this basis. Provide support for and cautions about your recommendation with organized, clearly-labeled data. Use bullet points where appropriate.

Proof:
Problem 7 (20 points)*: In the 1990, the northern spotted owl became the center of a
nationwide controversy over the use and misuse of the majestic forests in the Pacific
Northwest. Environmentalists convinced the federal government that the owl was
threatened with extinction if logging continued in the old-growth forests (with trees over
200 years old), where the owls prefer to live. The timber industry, anticipating the loss of
30,000 to 100,000 jobs as a result of new government restrictions on logging, argued that
the owl should not be classified as a “threatened species” and cited a number of published
scientific reports to support its case.
Caught in the crossfire of the two lobbying groups, mathematical ecologists
intensified their drive to understand the population dynamics of the spotted owl. The life
cycle of a spotted owl divides naturally into three stages: juvenile (up to 1 year old),
subadult (1 to 2 years), and adult (over 2 years). The owls mate for life during the subadult
and adult stages, begin to breed as adults, and live for up to 20 years. Each owl pair
requires about 1,000 hectares (4 square miles) for its own home territory. A critical time in
the life cycle is when the juveniles leave the nest. To survive and become a subadult, a
juvenile must successfully find a new home range (and usually a mate).
A first step in studying the population dynamics is to model the population at yearly
intervals, at times denoted by 𝑘𝑘 = 0,1,2, …. Usually, one assumes that there is a 1:1 ratio of
males to females in each life stage and counts only the females. The population at year 𝑘𝑘
can be described by a vector 𝒙𝒙𝒌𝒌 = (𝑗𝑗𝑘𝑘 , 𝑠𝑠𝑘𝑘 , 𝑎𝑎𝑘𝑘 ), where 𝑗𝑗𝑘𝑘 , 𝑠𝑠𝑘𝑘 , and 𝑎𝑎𝑘𝑘 are the numbers of
females in the juvenile, subadult, and adult stages, respectively. Using actual field data from
demographic studies, a rese

Portrait of an ESFP - Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving .docx
1. Portrait of an ESFP - Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
(Extraverted Sensing with Introverted Feeling)
The Performer
As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally,
where you take things in via your five
senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is
internal, where you deal with things according
to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal
value system.
ESFP's live in the world of people possibilities. They love
people and new experiences. They are lively and
fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the
here-and-now, and relish excitement and
drama in their lives.
ESFP’s have very strong inter-personal skills, and may find
themselves in the role of the peacemaker
frequently. Since they make decisions by using their personal
values, they are usually very sympathetic and
concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite
generous and warm. They are very observant
about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with
someone before others might, responding
warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be
the best advice-givers in the world, because
they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for
giving practical care.
2. ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They
love to have fun. If the ESFP has not
developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to
rational thought processing, they tend to become
over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate
sensation and gratification than on their duties
and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term
consequences of their actions.
For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the
center of attention and perform for people.
They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain
them and make them happy. They enjoy
stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it.
They would love nothing more than for life
to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-
loving host.
ESFP’s love people and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their
greatest gifts is their general acceptance of
everyone. They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like
almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly
warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat
everyone as a friend. However, once
crossed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn
judgment against the person who crossed
them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation.
The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with
negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an
optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities,
negative possibilities do not sit well with them.
In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up
with simple, global statements to explain
away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may
3. not truly get to the nature of the issue, but
they serve the ESFP well by allowing them to get over it.
ESFP’s are likely to be very practical, although they hate
structure and routine. They like to "go with the
flow", trusting in their ability to improvise in any situation
presented to them. They learn best with "hands-
on" experience, rather than by studying a book. They're
uncomfortable with theory. If an ESFP hasn't
developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations
which involve a lot of theoretical thinking,
or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP
may have difficulty in school. On the other
hand, the ESFP does extremely well in situations where they're
allowed to learn by interacting with others,
or in which they "learn by doing".
ESFP’s have a very well-developed appreciation for aesthetic
beauty, and an excellent sense of space and
function. If they have the means, they're likely to have to have
many beautiful possessions, and an artfully
furnished home. In general, they take great pleasure in objects
of aesthetic beauty. They're likely to have a
strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good
food and good wine.
The ESFP is a great team player. He or she is not likely to
create any problems or fuss, and is likely to
create the most fun environment possible for getting the task
done. ESFP’s will do best in careers in which
they are able to use their excellent people skills, along with
their abilities to meld ideas into structured
formats. Since they are fast-paced individuals who like new
4. experiences, they should choose careers which
offer or require a lot of diversity, as well as people skills.
ESFP’s usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people,
and have a connection with animals and
small children that is not found in most other types. They're
likely to have a strong appreciation for the
beauties of nature as well.
The ESFP has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to
have fun. They like to bring others along on
their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're
flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in
people, and usually kind-hearted. They have a special ability to
get a lot of fun out of life, but they need to
watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the
moment.
Jungian functional preference ordering:
Dominant: Extraverted Sensing
Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling
Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking
Inferior: Introverted Intuition
ESFP’s generally have the following traits:
� Live in the present moment
� Are stimulated and excited by new experiences
� Practical and realistic
� Warmly interested in people
� Know how to have a good time, and how to make things fun
for others
� Independent and resourceful
� Spontaneous - seldom plan ahead
� Hate structure and routine
� Dislike theory and long written explanations
5. � Feel special bond with children and animals
� Strongly developed aesthetic appreciation for things
� Great people skills
ESFP’s are good at many things, but will not be happy unless
they have a lot of contact with people, and a
lot of new experiences. They should choose careers which
provide them with the opportunity to use their
great people skills and practical perspective, which will also
provide them with enough new challenges that
they will not become bored.
ESFP Relationships
ESFP’s are fun and delightful to be with. They live for the
moment, and know how to make the most of
each moment. They are genuinely, warmly interested in people,
and love to make others happy. They're
usually very kind-hearted and generous, and are always going
out of their way to do something nice for
someone. Their affection is simple, straight-forward and honest.
They dislike theory and complexities.
They often resist forming relationships which require them to
function on a high Intuitive or Thinking
level. They prefer for things to be light and happy, although
their warmth and affection runs deep. Their
potential downfall is the tendency to live entirely for the
present moment, and therefore to sometimes be
unaware of the direction that their relationship is heading, or to
be easily distracted from long-term
commitments.
ESFP Strengths
6. � Enthusiastic and fun-loving, they make everything enjoyable
� Clever, witty, direct, and popular, people are drawn towards
them
� Earthy and sensual
� Down to earth and practical, able to take care of daily needs
� Artistic and creative, they're likely to have attractive homes
� Flexible and diverse, they "go with the flow" extremely well
� They can leave bad relationships, although it's not easy
� Try to make the most of every moment
� Generous and warm-hearted
ESFP Weaknesses
� May be frivolous and risky with money
� Tend to be materialistic
� Extreme dislike of criticism, likely to take things extremely
personally
� Likely to ignore or escape conflict situations rather than face
them
� Lifelong commitments may be a struggle for them - they take
things one day at a time
� Don't pay enough attention to their own needs
� Tendency to neglect their health, or even abuse their bodies
� Always excited by something new, they may change partners
frequently
What does Success mean to an ESFP?
ESFP’s can’t help but spontaneously grasp the moment,
particularly if it offers a new sensation or
experience. And while the ESFP might seem to others to only be
interested in piling up new experiences, or
reliving old ones just to savor the quality of the sensations or
lively enjoyment they bring, the ESFP has in
fact a far more subtle relationship to life and the world around
7. them. Indeed, with their curious mixture of
Extraverted Sensation and Introverted Feeling, the ESFP can
show a wealth of complexity in their ways,
even if to the ESFP themselves, considering such matters is felt
to be a tedious and - to their way of seeing
the world - quite unnecessary task. For this reason, just
defining what success means to an ESFP requires
more than simply assuming that a life filled with satisfying,
quality experiences necessarily fulfills this
criteria, as the ESFP’s true needs and satisfactions will depend
greatly on the strength and refinement of
their Sensation and Feeling functions. But there is one thing
that defines all ESFP’s, and that is their
exuberant ability - and need - to engage with other people and
express that which grips them. So, whilst
success might come through many different paths, and be felt by
the ESFP in modes and preferences not
necessarily understood as success by other types, the successful
ESFP will nevertheless always be found
where they can live in full and open engagement with people
and able to express their talents, appreciations
and joys before the world at large.
Allowing Your ESFP Strengths to Flourish
As an ESFP, you have gifts that are specific to your personality
type that aren't natural strengths for other
types. By recognizing your special gifts and encouraging their
growth and development, you will more
readily see your place in the world, and how you can better use
your talents to achieve your dreams.
Nearly all ESFP’s will recognize the following characteristics
in themselves. They should embrace and
nourish these strengths:
� A great ability to understand the objective world, its facts
8. and realities.
� A talent for entertaining and pleasing others with words and
actions.
� An aptitude for getting the most out of any situation or place.
� Very skilled at finding the best of things for themselves and
others.
� A warm and generous attitude both as a giver and receiver.
� Exceptional natural musical and dramatic skills.
� A detailed and finely nuanced appreciation of the outside
world.
� Adept at detecting and recognizing the effects of minute
changes to their environment.
� A talent for learning to do practically anything by just
watching and doing.
� A reassuring and practical sense of the world which supports
others.
ESFP’s who have developed their Introverted Feeling to the
extent that they can integrate the concrete
world of their perceptions with a responsive and healthy system
of personal values will find that they enjoy
these very special gifts:
� Their refined tastes will make it a joy for others to be in their
company and homes.
� Their ability to weigh the value of their actions gives great
force to their talent for entertaining
people of all tastes.
� They will quickly differentiate between those things which
are of greater and lesser importance to
a situation.
9. � They will not just seek entertainment and things for their own
sake, but will seek always to find
that which they feel will provide the most value and reward for
themselves and others.
� The ESFP who augments their ability to recognize
opportunities (Extraverted Sensing) with a
strong internal value system (Introverted Feeling) will find
themselves more likely to attract, and
be attracted into, very rewarding relationships with others -
particularly with those of the opposite
sex.
� They will recognize and promote the talents of others.
� They can be counted on to defend the best and most life
promoting aspects of the world.
Potential Problem Areas
With any gift of strength, there is an associated weakness.
Without "bad", there would be no "good".
Without "difficult", there would be no "easy". We value our
strengths, but we often curse and ignore our
weaknesses. To grow as a person and get what we want out of
life, we must not only capitalize upon our
strengths, but also face our weaknesses and deal with them.
That means taking a hard look at our
personality type's potential problem areas.
ESFP’s are kind and creative beings with many special gifts. I
would like for the ESFP to keep in mind
some of the many positive things associated with being an ESFP
as they read some of this more negative
material. Also remember that the weaknesses associated with
being an ESFP are natural to your type.
10. Although it may be depressing to read about your type's
weaknesses, please remember that we offer this
information to enact positive change. We want people to grow
into their own potential, and to live happy
and successful lives.
Most of the weaker characteristics that are found in ESFP’s are
due to their dominant Extraverted Sensing
function overshadowing the rest of their personality. When this
function smothers everything else, the
ESFP can't use Introverted Feeling to properly judge the value
and propriety of their perceptions or actions.
The first ten of the following weaknesses derive in varying
degrees from this problem alone, whilst the rest
are due to the additional effect of the ESFP’s unique make up
and result from their diminished capacity to
use abstract reasoning:
� May be seen by others as unnecessarily coarse in their
behavior and life choices.
� May be unable to value or may ignore the preferences and
needs of others.
� May perceive even the most careful and objective criticism as
simply a ploy to spoil their
enjoyment of life.
� May have skewed or unrealistic ideas about the feelings of
others.
� May be unable to acknowledge or hear anything that would
lead to second thoughts or a more
careful appreciation.
� May blame their problems on the world at large, seeing
themselves as frustrated heroes battling
against the odds.
11. � May become totally self focused and oblivious to the havoc
they wreak on others feelings.
� May uncaringly use totally inappropriate social behavior
simply to make a point.
� May be overbearing in their judgments upon the taste and
dress of others.
� May come across to others as boastful and rash in their
attitudes.
� May rationalize the ways of the world in the most inane or
simplistic ways.
� May believe the most extraordinary things about inanimate
objects and their workings.
� May feel overwhelmed with tension and stress when driven
into a situation which requires deep
and careful consideration.
� Under great stress, may feel the world around them is alive
with dark, unseen influences.
Another difficulty, which is not so much a problem for the
ESFP but for those around them, particularly if
Introverted Thinking or Intuitive types, is that even when joyful
or in the midst of life, they may be
perceived as coldly self absorbed and oblivious to the feelings
of others, even when the truth is quite the
reverse. Should it somehow matter, then when in the company
of such people, the ESFP should take some
trouble to express their feelings and value judgments.
Explanation of Problems
Nearly all of the problematic characteristics described above
can be attributed in various degrees to the
common ESFP problem of being overly absorbed by the
sensations and immediate apparent facts of the
12. external world. ESFP’s are usually very spontaneous and
outgoing people who have little time for analysis
of the complexities behind the world they live in. They are
likely to treat any point of view other than their
own rather shortly, waving away in particular the more
intellectual and intuitive understandings of others as
irrelevant and totally secondary to the obvious realities of life.
If the ESFP does not learn how to deal with
the tension that arises between, what to them is the most
obvious and satisfying way to deal with the world
and those deeper intricacies which lie behind its facade, the
ESFP will begin to shut out any incoming
information which produces this tension. This is a natural
survival technique for the ESFP personality. The
main driver to the ESFP personality is Extraverted Sensation,
whose purpose is solely to perceive the
realities of the external world and by which the ESFP orients
themselves towards the things they need or
desire. If an ESFP's image of the world is threatened by
demands for careful judgment or reasoning, the
ESFP shuts out the demand in order to preserve and honor their
world view. This is totally natural, and
works well to protect the individual psyche from getting hurt.
However, the ESFP who exercises this type
of self-protection regularly will become not only more and more
careless of other people's needs and
perspectives, but also cut off in a world where the facts and
realities which they perceive become
interwoven with a belief system which supports only the ESFP’s
desire driven view. Under such
circumstances they will justify their own inappropriate
behaviors in the most astounding or rationally
simplistic ways, and will always find fault with others for
trying to complicate and disturb what ought to be
a simple and obvious way of life. It will be difficult for them to
maintain close personal relationships
13. because they will not only have unreasonable and simplistically
concrete expectations, but will be unable to
understand why such expectations cannot be easily met.
It’s not an uncommon tendency for the ESFP to look to their
inner world only for feelings that justify their
desires and perceptions. However, if this tendency is given free
reign, the resulting ESFP personality is too
self-centered to be happy or successful. Since the ESFP's
dominant function is Extraverted Sensing, they
must balance this with an auxiliary Introverted Feeling function
which is sufficiently refined to make
reasonably objective judgments about the value of the ESFP’s
actions and the people and things in their
life. The ESFP makes value judgments via Introverted Intuition.
This is also the ESFP's primary way of
dealing with their own internal subjective world. If the ESFP
uses Introverted Feeling only to serve the
purposes of Extraverted Sensing, then the ESFP is not using
Introversion effectively at all. As a result, the
ESFP does sufficiently consider the effects of their actions and
perceptions sufficiently for a strong value
system to arise in their personality. They see nothing but the
joys, satisfactions and sensations of the world
outside themselves, and deal with feeling only so far as it
supports their need for constant stimulation and
gratification. These individuals can often come across as coarse
and lustful, although can just as easily
seem the complete opposite, as refined and tasteful connoisseurs
who, nevertheless, at closer quarters
reveal their complete indifference to anything but the
satisfaction of their own desires.
At this point, I would like the reader to understand that, as with
all personality types, serious problems are
usually only encountered by those whose dominant function is
14. unusually strongly expressed against the
other functions. Such situations are rare and although the
problems discussed here can indeed be felt to
some level by all ESFP’s, most people regardless of their
personality type tend toward a balance within
both their personal and worldly relationships which occurs
despite differences in personality preference; a
balance driven by the need for comfort in others and the human
capacity for love. So whilst it is essential
for us to fine tune our relationships through knowledge and
understanding of our differences and peculiar
needs, it is also good for us to remember that the most simple
and childlike longings of the heart can also
be most powerful guides to happiness.
Solution
s
To grow as an individual, the ESFP needs to focus on increasing
their self understanding to allow a rational
and more objectively reasoned value system to arise within
themselves. In order for the ESFP to more
validly judge the value of their desires, actions and the things
they allow into their world, the ESFP needs
to know that their world view is not being threatened but
15. qualitatively reinforced by the strength and
objectivity of their judgments. The ESFP must consciously tell
himself/herself that a feeling that does not
agree with their desires or perceptions of the world is not an
indictment of their character but a clue to
greater understanding.
The ESFP who is concerned with personal growth will pay close
attention to their motivation for valuing
certain actions, interests and possessions over others. Do they
attend to their feelings to judge such things
according to a strong set of values which accords also with the
needs of others? Or, do they judge only to
support a personal desire? At the moment when something is
felt, is the ESFP concerned with adjusting
that feeling to fit in with what appears to them as the most
important things in the world? Or is she/he
concerned with allowing their feelings to be fully realized? To
achieve a better understanding of their
feelings, the ESFP should try to allow feelings their full force,
before setting them against their strong
desires. They should be consciously aware of their tendency to
discard anything that doesn't agree with
their immediate sense of appearance, and work towards
lessening this tendency. They should try to see
16. situations from other people's perspectives, without making
personal judgments about the situations or the
other people's perspectives. In general, they should work on
exercising their Feeling in a truly Introverted
sense. In other words, they should use Feeling to understand
how the world of their perceptions affects their
inner life, using it to discover the values that truly matter,
rather than simply to support their wishes. The
ESFP who successfully creates a strong value system can be
quite a powerful force for positive change.
Living Happily in our World as an ESFP
Some ESFP’s have difficulty fitting into our society. Their
problems are often a result of an uncaring
attitude to anything other than the moment, an unawareness of
the needs of others, or too simplistic a set of
expectations. All of these issues stem from using Introverted
Feeling in a diminished manner. An ESFP
who uses feeling to judge the value of their perceptions and
actions, rather than one who uses it only to
support their desires, will have a clearer, more refined
appreciation of the world and what it can offer. He
or she will also be more aware of how others may feel, and will
have more realistic expectations for others'
behavior within a relationship. Such well-adjusted ESFP’s will
17. fit happily into our society.
Unless you really understand Psychological Type and the
nuances of the various personality functions, it's a
difficult task to suddenly start to use Feeling in an Introverted
direction. It's difficult to even understand
what that means, much less to incorporate that directive into
your life. For the ESFP, the most important
thing is to recognize and understand that Feelings must not be
confused with sensations or the emotions
they unleash. Quite often we say “it feels good” when we really
mean that the sensation we are
experiencing is good. The sense of “Feeling” from a
psychological viewpoint is that it underlies that
rational, judging factor which discriminates rightness or
applicability from wrongness or misapplication,
guilt from pride etc. With this in mind, I am providing some
specific suggestions that may help you to
begin exercising your Introverted Feeling:
When a new prospect enters your life and stirs your appetite, sit
with it for a moment in your mind and
allow yourself to notice whether you have a lurking judgment
about it. Try to allow this judgment to come
forward on its own behalf and do not try to rationalize it nor be
18. afraid of it. Imagine that you are hearing
this judgment from the lips of another person, or perhaps from
God, anything to let it be felt objectively
within your mind. What is your Feeling function saying about
what your exciting new prospect really
means to you?
Think of a situation in your life in which you are sharing your
joys and enthusiasms with others, perhaps
entertaining them. Perhaps you are an entertainer. Watch the
looks and body language of others as you
speak or perform and notice that not all seem to be offering the
same emotional responses to your words or
actions. Each one is feeling you a different way, judging you a
different way. Try to notice the same
function within yourself now, the responsive person within you
who is also judging your words and
actions. How is he/she reacting to you?
When having a conversation with a friend or relative, dedicate
at least half of your time to discovering their
values and reasons. Concentrate on really understanding why
19. they feel as they do. Ask questions, and take
some time later to ask those same questions of yourself.
Think of the people who are closest to you. As you think of
each person, tell yourself "this person has their
own life going on, and they are more concerned with their own
life than they are with mine." Remember
that this doesn't mean that they don't care about you. It's the
natural order of things. Try to visualize what
that person is doing right now. What are they feeling, what
judgments are they possibly making about what
is happening to them? Don't compare their situation to your
own; just try to discover how you would feel in
their situation.
Try to identify the personality type of everyone that you come
into contact with for any length of time.
Ten Rules to Live By to Achieve ESFP Success
1. Feed Your Strengths! Encourage your natural expressive
abilities and hands-on talents. Nourish
your appreciation of the world. Give yourself opportunities to
enjoy life to the full.
20. 2. Face Your Weaknesses! Realize and accept that some traits
are strengths and some are
weaknesses. Facing and dealing with your weaknesses doesn't
mean that you have to change who
you are; it means that you want to be the best you possible. By
facing your weaknesses, you are
honoring your true self, rather than attacking yourself.
3. Express Your Feelings. Don't let worries build up inside of
you. If you are troubled by doubt or
fear, tell those close to you who will listen and offer counsel.
Don't make the mistake of “blipping
over it” or “sorting it out” some quick fix way.
4. Listen to Everything. Try not to accept everything at face
value. Let everything soak in and listen
to your feelings.
5. Smile at Criticism. Remember that people will not always
agree with you or understand you, even
if they value you greatly. Try to see disagreement and criticism
as an opportunity for growth. In
fact, that is exactly what it is.
6. Be Aware of Others. Remember that there are 15 other
21. personality types out there who see things
differently than you see them. Try to identify other people's
types. Try to understand their
perspectives.
7. Be Accountable for Yourself. Remember that your every
word and action affects those around
you, so it is important for you to be fully responsible for your
self, and to the values you hold.
8. Be Gentle in Your Expectations. You will always be
disappointed with others if you expect too
much of them. Being disappointed with another person is the
best way to drive them away. Treat
others with the same gentleness that you would like to be
treated with.
9. Assume the Best. Don't distress yourself by assuming the
worst. Remember that a positive attitude
often creates positive situations.
10. When in Doubt, Ask Questions! If something seems to be
wrong and you can’t put your finger on
it, maybe someone else can. Remember, there are many ways of
seeing the world, and perhaps
22. someone else’s way will reveal the truth.

1. Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to create a leadership development
plan, my foci would
be placed on self-management, leading others and innovation.
These are the 3 skills
that I will be developing for my career in the future. The Myers-
Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI) was used to analyze my personality and current
leadership style. The Central
Michigan University (CMU) leadership competency model was
used to assess my
current strengths and weaknesses as a leader. Based on the
27. assessments, my key
strength and weakness are self-management and leading others
respectively. After
which, a leadership development plan was written on action
steps that should be taken
to reach my goals within a timeframe. Mr Krishnan, had
evaluated my leadership plan
and gave some valuable feedbacks which will be incorporated
into my plan as well.
Finally, my leadership skills will be re-assessed 5 years later
using the same
assessment tool.

2. Introduction
Leadership developments are vital for organizations and
29. personal developments. This
report can help me to recognize how self-improvement and self-
assessment in the
areas of leadership and change management could impact on my
personal
development. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the
Central Michigan
University (CMU) leadership model will be used to evaluate my
strength and
weakness.
I see myself working in the F&B industry in 3 years time. I
would first pursue another
diploma in patisserie, a 1.5 years course after graduation. And
set up my own café
with my business partners, where I will be focusing on the
operations. In order to be
30. successful, I will need to develop related leadership skills.
3. Focus Area based on Industry
I would focus particularly on self-management, leading others
and innovation. I
believed that self-management is the most important aspect out
of the 5 dimensions
that everyone should develop on. If one is unable to manage
themselves, how can one
manage others and show leadership qualities.
3.1 Self-Management
Based on my job scope, time management is very important.
Being organized and
using time efficiently is crucial, as time is money. Being a
patisserie, preparations
31. must be done before opening and peak period to ensure steady
supply of dishes.
Subsequently, I have to manage stress, when being push to
develop new recipes
within a limited time frame and when business is not going well
as expected.
3.2 Leading Others
Being in charge of the operation, I have to lead my team.
Employees are the most
important element in any business. Thus, I must be able to
communicate well with my
employees, understand their needs, motivate employees to work
hard for success and
develop the potential in all my employees.
32. [BUSM 4194 – LEADING FOR CHANGE] 5
3.3 Innovations
In order to gain competitive advantage in the F&B industry,
being innovative is
crucial. Customers like unique, new and fun ideas, being
creative is essential for
generating ideas for developing new recipes, flavors and
promotions. Moreover,
consumers taste and preferences are constantly changing, I need
to cope with changes
and predict the next popular trend.
33. Being in this position, I feel that these are the 3 dimensions that
I should possess.
In contrast, social responsibility is not so crucial, other than
integrity and being
ethical, social knowledge and civic responsibility will not make
much of a difference
to the business. Lastly, task management, my business partners
will deal with the
management side of the business.
4. Assessments Tools
4.1 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
Source: Extracted from Personality Type, My Personality
(2007).
34. MBTI is a questionnaire used to determine a person’s
personality (Myers & Briggs
Foundation 2003), the results I obtained were ‘ISTJ’. Each
element is described in
Appendix A and an overview of ISTJ can be seen in Appendix
B.
[BUSM 4194 – LEADING FOR CHANGE] 6
This report suggests that I would prefer private conversations
with close friends than
groups, often quiet but serious in my work. Sensation people are
perfectionists, they
are detailed and précised. Uses reasoning skills to test options
of all cause and effects
(Killen & Williams 2009). Being judgmental, I like to be
organized and follow a
35. standard procedure (Killen & Williams 2009). Some of the
leadership traits that I
possess are reliable, stable, tradition, responsible, realistic and
diligent.
Subsequently, it suggested that I am adopting the task-centred
leadership approached
as I focus more on task than on emotions (University of
Saskatchewan n.d.), where
my main focus is about getting the work done effectively and
efficiently (Fleishman
1953). This is in line with my personality, as I like my work to
be done fast and quick.
In addition, according to Blake and Mouton ‘s Leadership Grid,
I am using the
authority-compliance management style, due to the fact that I
focus more on results
36. (Miller et al. 2012).
Lastly, ‘S’ (sensing) and ‘T’ (thinking), the report proposes
that I could adopt the
servant-leadership, to set up structure, rule and regulation as a
service (Lewis, Spears
& Lafferty 2010). Hence, everyone will follow the same rules
and be treated equally.
Once the structure is set and everyone is clear about it, it
enables others to get job
done more efficiently. While, ‘J’ (judging) servant leader
served their followers
through ‘pushing’ their capabilities, helping them organize and
develop themselves to
achieve goals (Lewis, Spears & Lafferty 2010).
37. 4.2 Leadership Competency Assessment
The second assessment tool, Leadership Competency
Assessment, is used to identify
my strength and weakness as a leader (CMU 2004). My report
can be seen in
Appendix C.
[BUSM 4194 – LEADING FOR CHANGE] 7
The score range from 1 to 6, 6 being the highest. I had obtained
a mean score of 4.7
for self-management, 4.03 for leading others, and 4.09 on
innovation. This assessment
38. tool can tell me exactly which competency that I should
improve or maintain.

Work Habits Work Attitudes Stress Management Self Insight
42. My strengths would be
self-management. I have a score of 5.4 on work habit, and based
on MBTI (Appendix
D), being organized denotes time management, setting goals as
goal orientation,
completing work without supervision as self-reliance and so on
(University of
Saskatchewan n.d.). I can say that I am really good in time
management. I would
organize and plan my schedule beforehand. I grew up
independently, thus, having to
do everything on my own, I feel that there is a need for
everything to be in schedule.
Being persistent would be my second strength, when faced with
difficulties, I will
insist to find a solution. Lastly, I am able to manage stress well,
this might be due to
43. my personality as a cheerful person, I believe that everything
will work out to be fine
eventually.
According to Miller et al. (2012), a charismatic leader needs to
have excellent verbal
communication skills that are able to portray the image of
credible, innovative and
trustworthy. In addition, having the ability to lead requires you
to have interpersonal
awareness, ability to communicate, influence, motivate and
develop others (Bapat et
al., n.d.).
However, a 95% score on introvert and 2.4 on communication
denotes that I am
44. severely lacking in charisma and leading skills. I admit that I
am relatively poor in
communication. I find it hard to strike and sustain a
conversation with others and I get
nervous easily when facing someone new. When I am young, I
used to be very
talkative, the teachers would always complaint to my parents.
Being in fear of canings
and scolding, I became quiet as I grew older.
Lastly, being high on sensing and judging, ISTJ do not like
changes. Truly, I would
prefer to follow standard procedures than to innovate, my
creative juice can only be
produce if I am interested in that subject. In this case, baking is
my passion and I will
be doing what I like, however, I would still like to improve on
45. my creativity skills
(score: 4)
Therefore, my key strength and weakness are self-management
(time management)
and leading others (communication) respectively.
[BUSM 4194 – LEADING FOR CHANGE] 9
5. Other Issues
Being a young entrepreneur, many other issues will be faced.
My employees might
even be older and have more experiences than me. My
credibility and ability to lead
will be doubt by many. In addition, even though now more
women are seen working
46. in the society, they are seldom in a leadership position (Haslam
& Ryan 2008). In the
past, women are only responsible for their home. Being a
woman, I am more likely to
be criticized for failure when holding a leadership position.
6. Leadership Development Plan
6.1 Improving Leading Others through Communication
First I would need to improve on my communication skills. This
will be an ongoing
process that I will start practicing, right from school and
throughout my life. I aim to
be-friend with a stranger per week from school. I also find that
online forum is a great
47. place to make new friends who shares the same interest, such as
the “cozy cot” and
“flower pot”. Both forums are women sites, so it is safe for me
to make friends there.

The second step is to involve myself in different activities
where I can expand my
social capital and learn how to communicate with others. I
spend most of my life
staying indoors. Recently, I joined a health fitness club where I
will visit once a week,
and made some new friends. Other than the wellness club, I
intend to join other
49. activities such as yoga and traveling.
Lastly, I would sign up a communication workshop by STTS.
They specialized in
communication skills training, where there will be group work
and discussions that
involves role-playing, interactions and participation (STTS
2013).
6.2 Improving Innovations through creativity
Instead of following a standard procedure, I should find out
alternatives ways to get
job done. By doing so, implies that I have to take risk and
improve my creative
problem solving skills. Problem solving skills can be developed
through stimulations.
I can start practicing this skill in school through group projects.
50. Subsequently, there
are many techniques that can be found online which I could
learn on my own, such as
‘Direct Attention Thinking Tools’ (DATT) developed by
Edward de Bono, to sharpen
my perception and improve my critical thinking skills through
the uses of 10 different
strategies (The SIM Group 2007).
While taking my diploma in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I had
attended creativity classes
and learned about the ‘Six Thinking Hats’. I will recover my
notes and refresh my
memory. Alternatively, I could attend creative thinking skills
workshops offered in
Singapore.
51. 6.3 Maintaining Self-Management Skills
Currently, I am using a schedule book to write down my
appointments and important
dates. However, I do not refer to them everyday, thus I have to
be more diligent in
updating and referring to my book to keep this sustainable.
While developing my creative problem solving and
communication skills, I am also
developing my learning skills at the same time.

52. 6.4 Charismatic Leadership
This will be my biggest challenge, to become less tasks-centred,
and move myself up
the Blake and Mouton’s Leadership Grid from ‘Authority-
Compliance’ to ‘Team
Management’, I need to develop myself into a charismatic
leader.
A charismatic leader is one who has strong interpersonal
relationship skills that is able
to influence followers to make meaningful contributions
towards the same goal
through referent power and expert power (Halpert 1990). At the
same time, it can help
to motivate and develop others.
This can develop my leading skills to a whole new level and
53. from this I can move
further to become a transformational leader (new goals 5 years
later). In order to do
so, my communication skills must be improved. Followed by,
changing my
personality, from quiet to outgoing, confidence, assertive and
being positive. This will
truly depend on my determination, and I would take up
toastmaster class as well.

Time Line:
7. Reviews on Leadership Development Plan
Mr. Krishnan (Appendix E) evaluated my leadership
development plan. He doubts my
ability to attain my charismatic goals, he mention that charisma
is not something that
everyone is born with, it is not easy to develop based on my
61. personality. He also
suggests that 4 years for communication skills is too long,
because my
communication skills have to be fully developed before I move
to work on my
charisma.
Next, he recommended me to use an online time management
calendar, Google
Calendar. Since phones are now parts of people’s life, it will be
more effective and
efficient when I can access it anytime.
Subsequently, he suggest that I could take up a part-time job
related to baking, since I
have some free time after graduation, to take this as an
opportunity to learn from
62. experienced bakers and how they operate a café.
Lastly, he suggests that I can look for a mentor from the
relevant industry, where he
has more experience and knowledge to guide and support me
when I have problems.

8. Follow Up Plans
I agree to Mr. Krishnan that it will be challenging for me to
64. develop my charisma. It
would take a lot of effort and determination. Thus, It may take
longer than 5 years.
Therefore, I would need to revise the time frame to 6 years for
my charismatic goal
and reduce my communication skills from 4 to 3 years.
Secondly, I will start using Google Calendar. I find it very
useful, as you can see from
Appendix F, it is able to remind me of an event via email, pop-
ups and sms that a
schedule book is not able to. Moreover, my phone is around me
all the time.
Lastly, I would like to take up his suggestion of having a part-
time job in the related
field. At the same time, I could build up a personal relationship
65. with a mentor that is
able to assist me in the future.
The action plan above will be re-incorporated in my LDP.
9. Plan Evaluation Approach & Conclusion
In 5 years time, I will re-assess my leadership skills using the
same assessment tools. I
will compare both results and see if there are any
improvements. Next I will evaluate
based on how I speak, the number of friends I had and the way
my employees
converse with me. I will also engage my close friends for
feedbacks on my
communication skills. In addition, I can observe how my words
can influence my
66. employees through their reactions. Subsequently, to see if I had
diligently jogs down
my schedules in Google Calendar. Lastly, by observing how I
manage different
situations through creative problem solving.
In conclusion, I hope that I can achieve all the goals I have set
in my LDP. I
understand that learning is continuous process and I will
continue to learn other skills.
Lastly, I look forward to my dreams of setting up my own café.

Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular
style of writing which involves both the way the report is
structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s
ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the
RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online
Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be
to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better
report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing.
68. There are many styles of referencing in use in different
disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use
the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you
via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is
uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course
site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be
enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference
between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page
36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an
ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning
everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a
far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and
hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable,
contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able
to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory.
Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in
69. the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends
on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in
your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as
described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of
ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a
reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will
be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises
50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a
way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
70. The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES
what you will be marked on. If you include additional material
that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks,
if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric,
you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer.
Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good
result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model
2. Identify you current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or
potential leader) within the context of the CMU

71. Word limit: 2500 words (not including your reference list or
any appendices you may wish to attach)
Due: see due date in assessment tasks folder
Submission procedure: The report must be submitted in both
electronic and hard copy.
See the submission section in the course site assessment tasks

5
72. Did you utilise the whole model or did you focus on a subset of
issues within the model? Why?
b
Diagnosis of your leadership strengths and
weaknesses
5
How did you carry out this diagnosis? What information /
journal article / other source will you cite in your report to
support the diagnostic process?
c
Industry-specific issues (e.g. manufacturing industry
vs financial consulting)
5
Considering the industry sector that you work in (or intend to
work in) are there any issues that are either unique or especially
important?
d
Person-specific issues (e.g. gender, age, culture)
5
Your personal characteristics are important in shaping your
73. leadership development. What can you say, for example, about
the impact of your gender or your age group or your cultural
background or the country / culture in which you are likely the
work?
e
Timeframe for plan (multi-staged? 2 years? 5 years?)
5
What time frames will you place on various aspects of your
leadership development? How soon could you reasonably
expect to achieve a leadership development goal?
f
Plan evaluation approach(es )
5
How will you know that you’ve achieved the goals set out in
your leadership development plan? What kind(s) of data and
information will inform this?
Your plan is supported by key theory and practice literature.
This literature has been cited and formatted according to the
RMIT Business Referencing Guide
15
74. Which ideas, theories and approaches in leadership have you
incorporated into your plan? Which reputable source will you
“cite” when discussing these?
There is clear evidence of input to leadership plan from an
industry leader.
What did the leader suggest?
What did you change as a consequence of the leader’s advice?
5
What did the industry leader have to say about your draft
leadership development plan? How have you modified your
draft as a consequence? (For example, if the leader you
consulted said that your timeframe to achieve your leadership
gaols was unrealistically short, did you then extend the
timeframe top achieve these?)
