Assignment Task
Consider the content and theory that you have learnt in the Module - Managing Self and Others and apply this to answer the following question
Question 1 - Career Development and Lifelong Learning
1. Create your own individual PDP that shows evidence of your development achieved in the past 12 months and applies your planned development for the next 12 months.
To achieve this, you must demonstrate how you manage yourself. This should include how you manage stress, positive thinking and assertiveness to produce your own career development plans. You should create plans for goal setting, a personal skills audit and a personal SWOT. From this, you can then create your PDP.
Within your PDP include examples and evidence that demonstrate advanced learning methods, learning resources, learning timescales, expected outcomes and any necessary communications that may support your learning and development. Please read Lesson 3 Career Development, Future Planning and Reflective Practice for information on how to complete your skills audit, SWOT and PDP. (800 words) (20 marks) (LO5)
2. Produce an illustrated report that assesses how strategies for skills development and lifelong learning may enable career development for you and your team colleagues.
To achieve this, evaluate concepts associated with career development strategies in order to consider how the skills and career development of employees through integrated personal development planning may support employee motivation and, ultimately, employee retention and progression. (1200 words) (30 marks) (LOs 1 & 2)

How may high performance people be developed by effective performance management?

2. Produce an illustrated report that evaluates how high-performance strategies enable you to reflect on how you may work effectively as part of a team.
To achieve this, consider how strategies intended to develop high performance may enable you to meet your personal development needs when working with individuals (individual differences, perceptions and attitudes, learning, development and motivation communication skills) and, in doing so, help create high performing teams.
