Personal Development Values

Question: What, in your opinion, is Personal Development Planning? Give some examples of the benefits that Personal Development. Answer: Introduction The Personal Development Plan is based on the activities, which are helpful for enhancing the personal knowledge and the self-identical values. Beausaert et al. (2013) stated that the human aspirations are significantly improvised with the application of the skilled performance development plan. The aim of this particular report is to evaluate a creative and elaborative self-development plan. The study will be helpful for me to apply the skills associated with my efforts in different personal objectives. It is to be noted that the personal development plan is mainly featured with the various ways that can be utilized to achieve the recognized goals (Beausaert et al. 2013). In this study, I shall be evaluating my strengths and weaknesses in basis of the application of management skills. In developing the quality parameter of the personal development plan, it is important to present the association of the QAA standards (Burnham 2015). I shall be implementing the SMART objectives for th e improvisation of the personal skills and ability to add more significance. Personal Development Plan The development of the personal skills reflects through our own way of performing and achieving the personal goals (Janssen et al. 2013). The implementation of the personal development plan helps in enhancing the self-awareness, identifying the experience and skills of our needs, creating the proper planning process to select the career, and keeping the information of the achievements. The recognition of the personal skills and experience helps in understanding the featured learning style, which provides the easier approach to concentrate on the proper way (Pedler, Burgoyne and Boydell 2013). The theme of the personal development plans is mainly applied to the institutional studies, reflective tools, and assessment techniques. It is to be noted that the personal development plan is mainly depending on the sense of direction that can be considered as the major advantages of the university students. It is to be indicated that the structuring the PDP plan is beneficial for the students of university. Firstly, PDP plan helps the university students to get more motivation, as this considers the structured planning (Eisele et al. 2013). The students can get more interests in their development attributes. The students become better learners and more self-aware. In fact, they can even improvise their employability skills through the development of PDP plan. The PDP plan even helps the university students to recognize their potentiality to build up their self-esteem. Personal Goals: SMART Objectives The maintenance of the quality standards is important to determine the progressive attitude of the university (Ellwood 2011). Therefore, I need to specify my SMART goals for presenting the skill specifications significantly. The implementation of the SMART objectives defines the impactful success regarding the fulfillment of my aspirations and desires. It is to be notified that the application of the SMART objectives provides the systematic and stabilized plan, which is beneficial for my future prospects. Specific Short Term- The plan will be implemented for enhancing the knowledge and self-awareness among the other colleagues in the university. Mid-Term- The objectives are focusing on the specific direction and depending on the motivational aspects. These aspects are mainly achieved through the development of the management skills. Long-Term- The implementation of the personal development plan is necessary for overcoming the loopholes underpinning the future activities based on my career specifications. Measurable In determining the improvisation of the education in the UK university, the recognition of the scale, purpose, and structure is important. The maintenance of the consistency on application of the learning tools is effective enough in achieving the requirements. In fact, the implication of such benefits would help in reaching towards the short term, mid-term, and long-term objectives. Achievable The arrangements of the training sessions, orientation classes, and other brainstorming sessions will be effective enough in enhancing my personal development skills. While communicating with the clients and presenting the financial status of the management will help the university to meet the objectives and influential orientation. Reliable It is to be noted that the personal development plan captures the interests of both the public and the students when we have been performing the activities of our daily lives. The development plan ensures the assimilations of the higher quality approaches for maintaining the regulatory factors. The maintenance of such aspects notifies the safeguard of my personal interests. Time Bound The short term objectives: 2-3 months Mid-Term objectives: 3-6 months Long Term Objectives: 6 months-2 years Table 1: SMART Objectives (Source: Created by Author) Personal Development Plan In defining my personal development planning, I have ensured several processes to provide the measurement of my progress. It is important for me to keep the records of my daily, weekly, and monthly progress. Moreover, I need to provide the records of my annual progress report to judge my capabilities. The progress emphasizes the maintenance of the UK quality codes for determining the completion of the higher education (Ainscow et al. 2013). It is important to keep the concentration on the academic requirements based on the University concerns. The establishments of the proper communicational transparency, positive thinking, optimistic attitude, commitments, simplicity, and accountability are necessary for determining the measurements of the progress. The establishment of the Seinfeld strategy provides the idea of the records that are needed to be kept on a daily basis and determines the achievement of the daily goals (Gjedrem 2012). While structuring the purposive achievement of the goals will be evaluated by arranging the meeting with my colleagues. It is very much helpful to share the personal experience with other people and this will help me in deriving the knowledge about their experiences as well. The maintenance of the proper schedule is essential in regards to the extraction of knowledge about the progressive attributes (Zakarevicius and Zuperkiene 2015). Therefore, I need to conduct the monthly review, which consists of 30 minutes of schedule that provides the measurement of my progress. In specifying the long-term objectives, I need to write down a report and mark the dates to ensure the measurement of my exact experience. It is to be noted that the personal development plan requires the presentation of the critical ana lysis based on the personal experiences (McKimm and Swanwick 2013). Therefore, I shall also evaluate the process of defining the experimental attributes that I have gained through the activities I have performed. In fact, I need to provide the different steps of my planning through the evaluation of the checklist and I shall use the social networking sites along with other media. It is to be noted that I need to change the planning procedure as per the requirements of the long-term purposes (Wisker et al. 2013). However, it is important for me to keep the records regarding the previous planning procedures to measure the progress. Importance I felt the importance of being positive to enhance the self-esteem and self-confidence during the implementation of the self-development plan. The power gained through the development plan helps me in accomplishing the goals I have set for myself. In fact, the maintenance of the self-actualization helped me in meeting each of the plans I set during the specification of my personal goals. The report presentation to the higher authority requires the evidence-based reviews. Therefore, the personal development plan is considered as the driving force for achieving success. The maintenance of the simple planning procedure helps in avoiding the complexities associated with the different management procedures. The improvisation of the communication skills would be effective enough in strengthening my commitments towards my responsibilities. The brainstorming session needs to be well maintained through the effective communicational process (Zakarevicius and Zuperkiene 2015). Hence, I will imp rovise my capabilities to communicate by using proper vocabulary during my training session. As per my perspectives, the maintenance of the accountability is the key way to ensure my commitments towards my responsibilities. Therefore, throughout the learning process, I shall keep the focus on enhancing the quality standards for the welfare of the university. Strength and Weakness The experience I have gained through the personal development plan is accumulating my strengths and weaknesses during learning session. The major strength I have found in myself is the ability to apply the technological skills in generating the innovative ideas. The training session I get during the learning activities was helpful enough in generating the structured and remarkable talents to achieve the success. The establishment of the communicational transparency helped me in gaining the power to overcome the obstacles that comes in my way of learning (Ainscow et al. 2013). I have found my strengths in developing the team and performed collaboratively to ensure the success. The environment was satisfactory enough in determining the improvisation of the quality standards. Similarly, I have found several disadvantages as well in keeping the concentration on the flexibility maintenance. The frequent absenteeism is one of the major issues I have come across during the training session. Moreover, I have seen that different employees provide their different approaches and requirements while working as a team. It is quite difficult to address each of the requirements and solutions may disappoint others (McKimm and Swanwick 2013). The transformation of the weakness into strength requires the fixation of the issues more specifically. SMART Objectives of Developed Management Skills The improvisation in the management skills is effective enough in considering the situation management. The outcomes need to be flexible in determining the operational activities of the university. In an educational institution, the maintenance of the salient features like patience, kindness, consideration is the key way to achieve success. In defining the proper management skills, leading the people towards the proper track is essential (Arguelles and Bay 2014). The management skills are considered as the driving force for the establishment of the effective team efforts. If the management can ensure the skilful attributes of maintaining the communication transparency, it would be strengthening the employee commitments. When the employees are effectively participating in the organizational activities, that particular organizational can ensure the strengthened position. In fact, it is to be indicated the remarkable management skills can even enhance the quality parameter of the organi zational productivity. The application of the skilled management procedure is enhancing the employee performance ratio. However, the specific, measurable, achievable, reliability, and time bound skills of the management can add value to the competitive advantage of an organization. The establishment of the SMART management activities is as follows: Specific The management has to ensure the active participations in engaging the students for improvising the quality standards. Measurement The maintenance of the specific track is essential and it has to be presented through improvement cycle. Achievable The perceived changes regarding the improvisation of the management process is achievable. Reliability The university needs to eliminate the unreasonable expectations and initiate the focus on required changes and amendments. Time Bound The fulfillment of the objectives Table 2: SMART objectives for management skills (Source: Created by Author) Conclusion The personal development is essential in describing the enhancements of the self-awareness. The study provides the structured method of the self-development plan that can initiate the idea of the progressive attitude. The specification of the proper management skills is ensuring the enhancements of the organizational profitability. The personal development plan identifies the necessity of forming the communicational transparency. The effectiveness of the applied development plan can determine the personification and enhancement of the skilful self-attributes. The study provides the idea of the SMART objectives on self-development aspects and management skills. The necessity of maintaining the personal development plan is thus evaluated in this study.
