360 Degree Feedback

1. Discussion of the Personality Profile based on Big Five model of personality (surgency, agreeableness, adjustment, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) The Big Five Model: Surgency-is the ability to persuade or influence individuals to understand your point of view, vision, mission, and/or objective and is willing to follow your lead as a result. One of the character traits of surgency is competitiveness. Donald Trump is extremely competitive, with that said he creates an environment of competitive subordinates and/or followers. Agreeableness- in my opinion is one character trait that promotes indecisiveness. A leader must be in a position to consider feedback of his/her colleagues however the final decision should be a collection of substantive facts and evidence supporting the theory of change implementation and risk management. When I observe leaders who tend to agree often, I find it difficult to follow their lead when necessary. This type of flaw opens the door to confusion at times if the leader places great emphasis on the viewpoint of the staff without drawing his/her own conclusions. A leader must take every viewpoint under advisement before making a decision and implementing a strategic action plan.

Part I: What are 3 characteristics of well-written goals? A goal is considered to be an organizational blue print of how the organization plans to move forward and what steps they will have to take in order to achieve those goals. I would equate a well-written goal to that of a comprehensive business plan in which case management, leaders, and/or supervisors would have to prepare an outline of their main objective; estimate a potential time line for achievement; determine as to whether the specified deadline is feasible; evaluate the results of goal implementation; and identify possible outcomes and/or risks associated with goal setting. Management would be obligated to motivate and persuade their subordinates to follow the organizations plans of maximum achievement and increased performance measures. According to Dr. Edwin Locke's (2010) research, goals must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound). However, the three characteristics of goal-setting must be narrowed down into three subdivisions within the confines of the SMART assessment, such as: ? Clarity-management must establish a clearly identified objective that informs followers of what should take place in order to obtain adequate results, improve performance, and maintain efficiency. ? Feasible deadline integration-organizations must make sure that they do not overextend themselves by promising to fulfill obligations that are far beyond their capacity of acheivement. In most cases, organizations must ensure that their objectives are foreseeable and well within their reach of fulfillment. ? Realistic outcome forecast-organizations must anticipate changing variables within the goal setting process. For instance, management must take preventative steps to alleviate the element of risks, negative feedback, change resistance, and various obstacles that could hinder an organizations growth and performance.

Assuming that this question is geared towards leadership and their approach to evenly distributing work assignments, I would think the best approach is to identify each tasks level of importance and to determine which member of the group is best qualified to tackle the new responsibilities. As a leader, I try to have a clear objective and a precise plan of action with the following questions in mind such as: ? What is our main objective? ? What's the deadline? ? Whom will I be working with for this project? ? What is our groups strengths? ? What are our weaknesses? ? Who is a team player and who is not? ? Who should be removed from the task and who will be beneficial to the group for the completion of this project? Describe a time when you have participated as a leader and another time when you have been a free rider.. During the collaboration process within the team, I developed an interesting concept that the team as a whole approved of. As a result of always considering the feedback of my peers, I felt compelled to move forward. I made a list of everyone's skills and attributes to the current project and delegated as appropriate. I pride myself as being an active participant in a group setting as often as possible however, at various intervals throughout organizations there is always a possibility that you will not have an opportunity to lead for whatever reason in which case an individual might have to take a back seat and follow someone else's lead. I participated as a free rider only in some cases where team members are not eager and willing to accept feedback or ideas from an individual who lacks seniority in certain areas.
