I Have Researched And Developed A Plan For Improvement

Utilizing self-management strategies, a person engages in a controlling behavior through implementing strategies to manipulate the antecedents and consequences of target behaviors which make the controlled or target behavior more or less likely to occur. Controlling behaviors may be setting goals, self-monitoring, or have reinforcing or punishing effects on the target behavior which causes a change in frequency of occurrence. Through a program of self-management one can learn to live a more successful life, achieve goals, replace bad habits with better habits, learn new skills, and master difficult

One of my assets is my self-awareness. As it is illustrated in the table above I scored a 60 out of a possible 66 in self-awareness, which indicates I have developed an ability to be a master of myself. I am very aware of the way in which others view me, and the way in which I project myself to others. I believe this is an important asset because being self-aware helps me to develop and maintain self-control. This is extremely important in my career since my company, Company, Inc., is a startup company with a fairly small number of employees. Since I am one of the first fifty employees to be hired in the company, I feel that I have a very strong understanding of the direction in which the company is going and sometimes feel that I should have a larger say in company decisions than I actually do based on my current position. In this regard my self-awareness helps me to have the self-control to be patient enough to trust my managers and leaders in the company to make the right decisions moving forward. I am able to determine when it is appropriate for me to interject and/or

One of my evaluations in my interview profile is self monitoring. It is the tendency of an

The novel, “The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement”, by Eliyahu Goldratt focuses on a production plant that has a failing system which can potentially shut down if the system that it operates under does not right itself and show improvements. The book is structured like a business textbook but is written as a novel. “The Goal” uses a scenario in the production world that can occur to any production manager. Eliyahu Goldratt uses the main character, Alex Rogo a plant manager with UniCo Company for the past 15 years, puts him in the students seat.

Some advantages of the self-administered survey are: Low cost. Extensive training is not required to administer the survey. Processing and analysis are usually simpler and cheaper than for other methods. The reduction in bias error. The questionnaire reduces the bias that might result from personal characteristics of interviewers and/or their interviewing skills. Greater anonymity, absence of an interviewer provides greater anonymity for the respondent. This is especially helpful when the survey deals with sensitive issues such as questions about involvement in a gang, because respondents are more likely to respond to sensitive questions when they are not face to face with an interviewer.

Operant conditioning is a great technique that can be used in studies in order to gain more information on how humans or other species learn but it is also an effective method in bettering ourselves. Whether it is learning a new skill or diminishing a negative habit, operant conditioning can help us achieve our goals if done the correct way. For this method, I chose to utilize operant conditioning to better my study skills. Like many students, I have trouble with studying effectively without getting distracted and not truly retaining the information for a long period of time. I chose to improve this behavior in order to achieve higher grades as well as learn material and know it for a longer amount of time. By the end of my operant conditioning journey, I hoped to have built the foundation of a new studying skills that I would be able to use for the rest of my college career and beyond.

When a student merely reviews the information in a textbook or notes, but doesn’t take the time to test themselves to see if they really understand what they are reading or if they review the test questions while looking at the answers, it can have a negative effect on their test scores. However, if the student were to alter their study patterns they could not only do better on the test, but retain more of the information.

Self-awareness involves the ability to understand and evaluate your own emotions through reflection, self-comparisons and feedback from others (Steiner, 2014). Self-awareness aims at enhancing self-knowledge, behavioral, and emotional improvements, and accommodating weaknesses (Steiner, 2014). It allows individuals to understand how they think, behave, and respond to situations that they encounter. To achieve this, feedback from other people is required. People who are self-aware are self-driven, resourceful, eager to learn, self-motivated, and problem-solvers. They also portray independence of self-concept (Steiner, 2014). Self-awareness helps an individual to practice effective self-management.

The self-improvement effort is a hard process since you are looking at yourself in the mirror. As most people the reflection happens at the beginning of the year by hitting the gym and starting a diet. As the weeks go by the gym slowly loses members and health food stay on the shelves. My action plan starts with the beginning understanding that I will not fail. The benefits of physical health would be the first and most important change since it will help extend my life span and also enrich my focus. I used to trial mountain bikes every weekend after the hour drive to the trail and waking up extremely early. The value of fresh air and clarity always allowed me to really think on my ride back about new goals I want to accomplish.
