Strengths: What are your areas of strength within the Interpersonal cluster
and how did
you determine a competency
as a strength? Provide supportive examples.
Due to the interpersonal cluster, the HR (Human Resources) division can establish and
maintain relationships with other departments and employees. Relationship management is a
shared responsibility between company executives and individuals from outside the company.
The three behavioral characteristics that comprise the Interpersonal cluster are Communication,
Global & Cultural Effectiveness, and Relationship Management (SHRM, 2018).
One of my
strengths is behavioral competency in relationship management, which is part of the
interpersonal cluster. According to
SHRM (2018), Networking, relationship building,
cooperation, conflict management, and negotiation are the five-sub competencies that form the
relationship management competency. Managing relationships is a crucial part of human
resources work, and each of the sub-competencies is vital to that end. Daily, my role as a FAYS
Support Specialist requires me to manage relationships. When problems emerge, we attempt to
have weekly huddle sessions to discuss them. If we can all agree that we are dealing with the
same problem, we can work together to find a solution much more quickly. Relationship
building, both within and outside the company, is a key component of our job as healthcare
professionals, and these sub competences help us do just that. One of my strengths is the ability
to communicate well. Effective communication is crucial to my professional success. We are
always exchanging information with one another, and it is critical that we do it well if we want to
complete the task at hand. Message delivery, information exchange, and listening make up
communication. As an example, one of our responsibilities as Support Specialist is to confirm
patients' health insurance and collect demographic information. Teamwork relies on the ability to
communicate, listen, and relay accurate information.

Weaknesses: What are your areas of weakness within the interpersonal domain, and how
did you determine a cluster as a weakness? Provide supportive examples.
There are aspects
of the interpersonal domain where I excel and places where I need
improvement. Where I fall short is in relationship management competencies pertaining to
negotiations. Too often, I let my desires dictate the outcome of a problem, rather than
considering the feelings and perspectives of my colleagues. Listening is also important here; I
have always considered myself an excellent listener, but I have realized that in the face of
patients and coworkers, my listening skills may be useful for some improvement in the
healthcare industry. My performance around global and
cultural effectiveness as well. I am lucky
to work in a diverse workplace. Every day, we encounter people from many levels of society, and
although I may struggle to understand even the most basic aspects of their culture, I do my best
to learn about them. I should also be up to date on any related global happenings that may impact
the organization. Although I would strongly encourage it, I am not yet able
to claim that I have
collaborated
with people from many cultural backgrounds.
Strategies: What are your strategies for the development of behavioral competencies
within
the interpersonal domain? Provide supportive examples and information from
your
research.
As a first step in developing the interpersonal cluster's behavioral competences, I would
focus on strengthening my areas of weakness. For the sake of my company and its numerous
endeavors, I would build and nurture connections with people outside of it. In addition, I will
make it a point to hear out my teammates' problems and collaborate with them to find answers.
Being prepared, listening attentively, and setting clear boundaries are all ways to become a better
