Essay: Experience Source Of Learning - Personal Development Plan

What Is The Experience Source Of Learning Development?

A personal development plan is essential for the evaluation of every individual. There are some key goals and strategies that important for the development of personal knowledge and understanding. In this development plan, self – assessment and need of understanding the goals and objective of the life are very important. There are some cases, where decision-making situations are not easy or on the other hand, the entire focus of the learning and evaluation may state something different. In that case, the strengths of my characters or instincts will help me out with the successful implementation of the plan. This is basically a plan that fits the goals and objectives of the personal understanding. This must be a plan to be formulated and these plans help me to reach or ensure better positional stage in my career.

I am learning through my MBA course and want to become a Chief Executive Officer of an organization. I am eying for the Chief Executive Officer post of National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC), as the company is one of the largest food –processing and agricultural companies in entire the Middle East and North Africa (Nadec.com.sa, 2018). I get to know that 20% stock of the company is owned by the government and rest is driven by the private sector. So this is considered the joint stock public company. The company owns six dairy firms and 60,000 cows and the total capacity of 1.5 million liters of milk are needed for daily basis. As the company has a good history and the served quality products to their customers so I wish to indulge with the company as a Chief Executive Officer. The company founded in 1981 and has more than 200 numbers of products so I have more business opportunities with those foods and agricultural options. 

I need to expand my horizon as I am focusing on such big companies like Nadec. In this personal development plan personal SWOT analysis identifies my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities or threats and this evaluation helps me to identify the weak points where I need to get focus and through the action plan, I also understand the possible planning that I need to take for the betterment of the gaining positions.

This section analyses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for me and those will influence my future chances of getting better job position.

• My personal administration sill is good and understands the importance of knowledge along with the general sound of training.
• In between the MBA course, pressure situation is quite adjustable for me and I am used with those situations and from these sections I gain confidence from them.
• I can manage a team and I have the potential to do so. In that case, my leadership quality will be an extra factor for the selected organization.

• I can balance the workplace handling and work-life balance procedure, In case of my MBA, some of the sections need extra care and time, in that case, study pressure maintenance and balancing my personal life is a learning curve for me.

• Communication is not a strong aspect for me. I am not comfortable enough to communicate in a significant manner. There are some cases, where conflict situations can be mitigated by the effective use of communication. However, I am not quite able to do that.
• Decision making is a big aspect of leadership and I have not got expertise in decision making. In some big decision for the organization, decision-making statements are important and that highlights the entire scenario of the organization to step forward and the good decision for the organization sustainability (McGrath, 2014).
• Planning perception is not good for me and I am not a future planner at all. The vision needs to be in future and that will bring more prosperity to the organization.
• Sometimes I feel unsure about the positional perspective and have not made my mind to express the feeling. Lack of confidence is the concerning aspect for me and I need to overcome this barrier so that I can maintain my good run in learning and job getting the arena.

• I get some opportunities in case of learning period and through the MBA learning course, I get to know some elements of learning through this process and these processes help me find out the right way to pursue my education.
• Company activity learning and problem-related situations are also provided by the learning course and that helps in case of making my career (Eisele et al., 2013).
• I learn the line manager concept, roles and responsibilities and these processes help me to find out the better managerial outcomes for me.

• There are some organizational commitments that make threats to me. The organizational process is very important in that aspect and the focused procedure is needed in that case, but due to inexperience mindset commitments are not fully acclaimed by me and that becomes a threat for the organization as well (Zepeda, 2013).
• Balance in work needs some strategies and if strategies are not implementing in an effective manner then major threat has been faced by the organization.

Goal Setting

• Some of the goals that I have to set for my development and these are the required goal lead in the positive framework of the work.
• The widen form of leadership understanding is another aspect that I need for the development of the personal understanding.
• Personal fitness is an important aspect of my development. In that case allocation of personal development is the concern matter for my future and I need to take care of this.
• The next goal is considered with core business analysis skill and this skill development is essential for that case (Kukulska-Hulme, 2012).
• The next goal setting arena is associated with improved planning and decision making skill of mine. I am the concerned person in that case and I need to motivate my own instincts to deliver the process is a right way to execution.
• I need to build my confidence as I want to be a leader so my perception and organizational knowledge is important for me.
• Communication is the most effective aspect of personal goal setting (Furman, 2012). In that case, my next goal is to improve my communication so that effective conflict situation can be mitigated.

There are some resources from where I get some knowledge to improve my development plan. The resources are like from where I am pursuing my MBA right now, which means universities or any of the learning sectors can be considered as resources. Some of the active learning sessions and line management process are the concerning aspect of personal development (Pedler, Burgoyne & Boydell, 2013). Advice from the senior managers also considered as resources from where I can understand that part of my leaning. As the senior colleagues are more experience than me so their practical experience helps me to extract the needed aspect of learning.

In case of project objectives, there are three sectors like Short-term Goal, Medium Term Goal and Long-term Goal (Larman, 2012). All these goals are presenting the objectives actually in form of resulting the prioritizing my ability and evaluate my position in this globalized competitive market.

The Short-term goal will be significant cross-cultural function determination and effective strategies to meet these goals. The process will take maximum 6months and I want a place where managers' engagement is relatively very high so that will encourage my short-term goal and help to retain the goal in quick time.

The Medium-term goal will be the mitigation of communication problem. The improvements in the sector and conflict challenges are there, but most of the time in case of organizational advancement better communication is required. Through the communication, enough support and significant process of management build up are there and interaction is the only process that helps to mitigate conflict situation and doing favour in case of retaining employees. It will take almost a year to complete (Dowling, 2014).

The Long-term plan is to understand the roles and responsibilities of a manager. As a manager, I have to take care of every single situation and that will impact on my organization. I need to improve the decision-making process as in case of crucial situation leaders or managers doing the right thing to decide the possible strategy for the organization, so I need to improve the section also. I am quite good in team management, but team bonding activities are also required in an organization, I need to improve this aspect also. The entire process can take almost 2 to 3 years and I need to plan for this entire process
