Self-Reflection

A good manager relies on the feedback of others to gain insight into projects, decisions, and personal issues. Dwight knows that without personal reflection on the feedback given to you, it is not likely to encourage improvement. If, for example, Jane says to you, "Your need for speed in making this decision is clouding your chances of making better choices." and your immediate response is, "You may be right, but speed is more important this time." and you do not go back later to reflect on the position you took with Jane you will likely make the same mistakes again. Reflecting on how it all worked or did not for you and why you will teach valuable ideas from the experience. These ideas will make the same experience easier to comprehend and better respond to. This technique is used in the military, law enforcement, and first responders and is often referred to as debriefing. Self-reflection is your personal debriefing step.

Being the last week of the course, Dwight is anxious to see how you "debrief" the course material.

To this end, Dwight would like you to prepare a personal memo to Ike and himself explaining why you possess the skills of a contemporary manager. The memo should include the following:

Directions:

1. By FRIDAY, August 4, 2023, complete the following:
   • Justify five of the ten skills presented by Dwight for EC as the top five you feel are most important for today's managers. Include an analysis of the skills needed in today's business environment and trends in the wheelchair industry.
   • Identify three skills Dwight and Ike left off the list and explain why they should include them.
   • Of the eight skills chosen above, select two that you believe need more development and two that represent your strengths. Explain the reasoning behind your choices.
   • You must use course material, APA in-text citations, and a reference list to support your responses.

• Please make sure the answer given is correct and in detail. I am barely passing the class and need to do very well on the post to graduate
