• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies.

• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust teaching to accommodate students’ learning needs.

• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual.

• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes.

• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics.

• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning.

If students have not received proper feedback, they must speak to compliance and quality assurance department/administration department in the RTO/person responsible for looking after the quality and compliance services of the RTO. For more information, please refer to RTO Student Handbook.

Question 1: Read the case study and answer following questions.

Jacinta Darlo is known at Larotte World PR for being a natural people developer. As the vice president of the firm’s financial services practice, Jacinta manages several senior account executives, including Carlo Agerson. Jacinta has overseen Carlo’s work since Carlo started at Larotte World four and a half years ago. Since the beginning, they have set goals through a collaborative process: Carlo develops draft goals, Jacinta comes up with ones she believes Carlo needs to focus on, and then they identify the overlap between them. “I want to make sure they are manageable but stretched too,” says Jacinta. The two regularly check in on these goals. Jacinta takes a hands-on approach, providing Carlo with regular input. They also sit down together at least four times a year to have a more formal discussion about Carlo’s ambitions.

Document Type: Unit Assessment Pack (UAP) Version 8 – Compliance and Quality Assura nce Department Release Date: Feb 2016 Review Date: Dec 2017 Unit Name: BSBWOR501 – Manage personal work prioriti es and professional development

One of Carlo’s goals is to become more of a thought leader on one of their largest financial services accounts. She has mastered the day-to-day work of managing the client and now needs to focus on the bigger picture. Carlo has been working on this goal for several months now by speaking up more in client meetings and providing more input into the content, not just the process, of their work. “We don’t need a goal review session. I give her constant feedback in the context of the work,” says Jacinta.

Jacinta also knows that ultimately Carlo is responsible for her own achievements. “I’m fully invested in making it work but I realized the limitations I have as a manager to make it happen,” she says. It hasn’t been necessary to talk about the consequences if Carlo fails to meet the goal — there are natural consequences in Larotte World’s high-performing culture. If you don’t succeed, you don’t get the better assignments.

The real test of Jacinta's leadership skills happened when company lost it's one of the client to Narlo PR, a competitor. Jacinta and Carlo worked as a team and got the client back in a record 2 weeks’ time, and gave Larotte World PR company it's next project of US $2713 billion.

1.1. Describe in 50-150 words, how Jacinta served as a positive role model in the workplace, by relating it with qualities of a role model in a professional environment?

Question 7: Read the case study and answer following questions in your own words.

Amy Werner took a job at the New York City-based search firm On-Ramps just over three years ago.

Amy joined at an integral time in the firm’s growth and quickly became a key asset to the small firm.

Sarah Grayson, one of the firm’s founding partners, manages Amy and explains, “Amy has a lot of institutional knowledge and is a high performer.” When she first began, she was working toward a degree in social work but taking classes at nights and on the weekends. A year and a half into the job, Amy’s school schedule became more complicated. Her internship requirements made working a traditional, full-time schedule difficult. Because of her star performance, Sarah and her fellow partners were keen to keep her on board while encouraging her to complete her degree. Amy remained full time but now works two days a week in the office, completing the rest of her hours on nights and weekends. As Amy says, “They have been nothing but supportive.”

The firm has a semi-annual review process where goals are set and discussed; they also do more frequent check-ins on goals during weekly meetings. Amy and Sarah have talked a lot about how OnRamps can support Amy not only by providing a flexible schedule but by thinking about the intersection of her studies and her work. They’ve found that there are lots of transferable skills between her job as a search associate and her work as a social worker, such as interviewing and client management. In explaining why they are so supportive of Amy’s educational activities, Sarah says, “We wouldn’t have done this for a low performer. We have to ask ourselves, ‘What would it take to hire another Amy?'” Amy will be finishing her master’s degree in May and she and Sarah have begun to discuss what’s next for her. Both hope that there is a way to combine her skills in search and her interest in social work to create a job that is ideal for both her and On-Ramps.

7.1. How Amy has taken initiative to prioritise and facilitate competing demands to achieve personal, team and organisational goals and objectives? (150-200 words)

Identify, evaluate, select and use development opportunities suitable to personal learning style/s to develop competence Participate in networks to enhance personal knowledge, skills and work relationships Identify and develop new skills to achieve and maintain a competitive edge

Each year Roche Pharmaceuticals conducts Voice Engagement Surveys to determine the key drivers of high engagement for their employees. In recent years, they have invested a lot of time into Leadership as it is one of the two top drives of engagement at Roche. Despite significant organisational change, Roche continued to achieve high levels of trust in leaders with 90% of staff rating Roche as a well-managed company. These great leadership results are “due to four leadership practices”, says Director of Prescription Medicines, Kirsten O'Doherty.

Firstly, Roche leaders involved employees in organisational change decision-making. They ran focus groups and surveyed all employees asking them what changes they would make to the organisation.

Employee recommendations were made available on their website, including the outcomes.

O'Doherty says, at Roche the “transparency and involvement in decision making is not lip service, it? real”. Secondly, clarity of direction is important. Regular town hall meetings enable the business plan to be understood by their employees. This allows employees to effectively be involved in the change process.

Thirdly, Roche recognise and reward high performance. Roche “value everybody that contributes but particularly value high performance”. Recently, they have created detailed descriptions of high performance to clarify Roche's expectations and promote fairness when allocating rewards. Lastly, Roche invest in their leaders by providing ongoing leadership skills training for managers in local and global programs. Organisational change and leading that change is important at Roche. Skills developed include, for example, how to be a leader in the change process, and the guidance of career development as a manager.

Project task: Developing a personal development plan Continuing from assessment 2 and assessment 3, student must now develop a personal development plan. Student must complete the personal development plan in the provided template.

What is a Personal Development Plan?

The aim of creating a personal development plan is to document a process of self-analysis, personal reflection and honest appraisal of your strengths and weaknesses. This should enable you to evaluate the value of the leadership and management training you have received, and to consider your future leadership development.

Page | 58

Document Type: Unit Assessment Pack (UAP) Version 8 – Compliance and Quality Assura nce Department Release Date: Feb 2016 Review Date: Dec 2017 Unit Name: BSBWOR501 – Manage personal work prioriti es and professional development

What do I need to do?

An example of a PDP included later in this GUIDE, and should be read in conjunction with the requirements outlined below. This task is relatively short, succinct and designed to be helpful in evaluating your leadership development. It enables you to reflect upon your recent experience and to focus on the next stage of your training and development. Creating your PDP has three stages as follows: Stage 1 – Personal Analysis. The first stage is designed to analyse your strengths and weaknesses. You will be able to draw heavily upon your career and the outcomes of courses that you may have attended. These should be supplemented by the perceived opportunities that will have been derived from your experience and any threats to your continued success.

Stage 2 – Setting Goals. This involves setting new and clearly definable goals for yourself which are measurable. The example PDP provides clear guidance on identifying these. You will need to consult your immediate superior (your first reporting officer/line manager) Stage 3 – Personal Objectives. This stage involves setting out your personal objectives. These can also be set in context within your civilian employment as shown in the example, which will be helpful in reinforcing its value.

Example of a Personal Development Plan Mr A is a 25 year old graduate working for a well-known mobile telecommunications company. He is 2 years into their graduate recruitment programme. He joined the organisation while at university and transferred to his current department following graduation. After a year he was encouraged to enter a managerial leadership and management development programme. He re-joined his department as a junior manager.

His employer is supportive and has been reasonably flexible and supportive in making allowances for the additional time off work to complete all the training modules.

Once properly qualified and with more experience, he is keen to take on more responsibility and be seconded to another part of the company.
