Managerial Self-Development

The focus of the unit is on developing self-reflection and self regulation skills among students. These skills are applied to developing self-awareness of managerial skill strengths and deficits and on developing an action plan to enhance strengths and reduce deficit skills. The unit’s theoretical foundation is social-cognitive theory, which considers both personal and situational dimensions, and their interactions, to be important in understanding behaviour and behaviour change. The unit provides a framework, for students to reflect on how personal and situational variables influence their own managerial skill strengths and deficits. In addition, the unit provides an opportunity to develop a self-managerial action plan to enhance strengths and redress skill deficits.
