...Organizational Behavior & Leadership Competency Assessment and Development Plan Self Competency – involves your overall ability to assess your own strengths and weaknesses, set and pursue professional goals, balance work and personal life and engage in new learning – including new or modified skills, behaviors, and attitudes. Development Plan for the Ethics Competency I need to learn the principle of ethics better. There are many principles that are involved in this competency that I feel are important to learn. Another area of development has a lot to do with that of diversity. People of different backgrounds may view my ethical standpoint to be different from theirs, and there have been various times I have come across this situation. In the definition above of ethics competency it mentions “choosing behaviors”, this is an area that I do need to develop in. Sometimes I allow my emotions to take over which may lead to an unnecessary and unethical reaction at that moment. Getting to know my emotions in that moment and being able to have better control of my emotions will help me make better decisions at the time of a problem or choice. Across Cultures Competency – involves your overall ability to recognize and embrace similarities and differences among nations and cultures and then approach key organizational and strategic issues with an open and curious mind.

...● By looking at the competency assessment I can see that the NFPE isn’t yet a competency that SH makes sure the Dietitians meet. I am aware that it is something that in progress. If that wasn’t the case I would suggest adding it to the competency assessment. ● I think that the computer skills section is pretty detailed for the day to day work, but I’m not sure this benefits the RDs in any way. If the RDs perform these tasks every day they should be competent, maybe it should be moved to a new hire competency list and checked off that way. ● I’m not sure if the team sees any strengths in this process since most of them have done it multiple times. I think that they view this process as a check off more than actually assessing their competencies....

...on in recent times on the issue of competency mapping. A lot of resource is spent and consultants are invited to do competency mapping. Competency mapping is gaining much more importance and organizations are aware of having good human resources or putting the right people on right job. Competency mapping is important and is an essential exercise. Every well managed firm should have well defined roles and list of competencies required to perform each role effectively. Such list should be used for recruitment, performance management, promotions, placements and training needs identification. In performing or carrying out work, it is essential that the required job skills first be articulated. This information not only helps to identify individuals who have the matching skills for doing the work but also the skills that will enhance the successful performance of the work. Yet often to perform well, it is not enough just to have these skills. It is also critical to complement the skills with the necessary knowledge and attitudes. For e.g. the necessary knowledge will enable an individual to apply the right skills for any work situation that will arise while having the right attitude will motivate him to give his best efforts. These skills, knowledge and attitudes required for the work are usually collectively referred as competencies. How Is “Competency” Defined in the Context of This Article?

The client has been here at the facility for three months now and the judge has ordered for a new competency evaluation to be completed. In order to complete the evaluation I need to know exactly why my client has been brought here.

...STAFF COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK July 2006 The Charles Darwin University Staff Competency Framework This booklet contains the Staff Competency Framework for Charles Darwin University. The Competency Framework outlines the range of knowledge, skills and attributes required of employees of the University for proficient workplace performance. Application of the framework occurs in the context of an individual’s role, and the recognition that different competencies, and different levels of competency, are necessary to perform a given set of activities. DEFINITION Competency is defined as the ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in employment. A competency standard is an industry-determined specification of performance which sets out the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to operate effectively in employment. Standards are made up of units of competency, which are themselves made up of elements of competency, together with performance criteria, a range of variables, and an evidence guide1. A competency framework describes a set of competency standards for employees and makes the expected knowledge and capabilities of employees explicit for those within and outside of the University. This set of standards has been determined by the University through a process of consultation and benchmarking. Competency frameworks are used by organisations to: • • • • • • Focus workplace performance on the organisation’s vision and values Align workplace behaviours...

...Core competency means that an individual or a company has a strong basis from which to gain additional ability to do so a specific job.it is a fundamental knowledge ability in a specific subject area or skill set.it is something that a firm can do well and it should provide consumer benefit and it is not easy for competitor to imitate though it provides competitive advantage. While cost savings is important to every company, it is no longer the only driving force in an outsourcing decision. Companies today need to take a broader view of outsourcing by isolating their core competencies, and then chipping away at all the functions that do not contribute to them. When a company starts evaluating their activities for outsourcing potential, any products or processes involved in the company’s core competencies should automatically be off-limits. These core competencies are the most important activities to the firm, so they need to stay inside the firm’s control. Rather than outsourcing these core competencies, a company would want to outsource the non-core, but still significant, functions to experts outside the firm. By doing so, skilled employees are freed up to focus on the core operations - the activities that add value to the product or service. Decision to form relationship: When the decision relates to using an external provider of product or service the question arises whether or not the provider’s service will be needed. If firm has the ability to have a core competency...

...Running head: EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL ENVIRONEMNT External and Internal Environment Analysis Bharti Gupta University of Phoenix External and Internal Environment Analysis: Mayo Clinic The purpose of this paper is to analyze the External and Internal environmental factors of Mayo Clinic (MC). Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit worldwide leader in medical care, research and education for people from all walks of life (Mayo Clinic, 2011). Various types of external and internal factors affect the smooth flow of business at Mayo Clinic.

...My Self-Competency Assessment as a Leader I have heard it said that one is born a leader with inherent leadership skills. I have witnessed how my close friends have been nominated yearly and voted as class officers. But this pattern ended when we graduated nursing school and went into different fields. New leaders have emerged amongst us with some starting as charge nurses after only a couple of years in practice. This redefined leadership in a whole new perspective. I would say now that a leader can be developed over time. The qualities of a good leader are something that can be learned and developed. The competent leader is a product of her experiences and how she responds to them. This will be my guiding principle as I plan my career path in the years to come. I have only been a leader in my current job for 6 years. I thought I knew a lot about my work and my organization. But until today, I can say that the American Association of Critical –Care Nurses (AACN) Nurse Manager Skills Inventory was an eye opener that I am not close to where I want to be. I learned that although my strength is The Art domain, there are still some subsets that challenge me to move towards the expert level. I have been on a consistent competent level on The Leader domain but not confident enough to put myself on the expert level. My greatest area of growth is The Science domain with emphasis on Financial Management. The realization that these domains rank from my strengths down to my weaknesses...

...Stick to the Core—or Go for More? “Cut!” Spike Sanchez stomped toward the stage, his arms waving the music to a stop. Wearing black from head to toe, sporting dark glasses, and sweating under the heat of the lights, he was losing his patience. A highly respected music video director, Sanchez was starting to wonder if taking on this advertising gig was such a great idea. “How many times do I have to tell you to point the logo on the can toward the camera during that move?” On stage was Maygan M, a pop singer whose star had risen in the months since she’d agreed to do this ad. She was a sweet-faced, 18-year-old beauty, dressed in a sequined, midriff-baring halter top, a skintight leopard microskirt, and platform shoes that had already tripped her up twice. She sheltered her eyes from the lights and glared at Sanchez. “Like I can even see the stupid logo,” she whined. “Maybe you could fix it on a computer or something?” “Or maybe you should just do what I say,” Sanchez shot back. “Then we might have some hope of airing this 30-second spot before your 15 minutes of fame are up!” He turned abruptly, strode off the stage, and dropped back into his director’s chair. “Let’s try it again from the top.” Maygan pouted at him for a moment and then flipped her long hair, spun around, and went back to her starting position. Sitting next to Sanchez was Ian Rafferty, cofounder and head of creative services for Advaark, a New York–based advertising agency. “Pretty tough to work with, isn’t...
