Draft of my action plan
My personal development plan is an action plan that I want to be an operation manager in New Zealand. To achieve my goal, I must first complete my bachelor's degree in management at Unitec. I want to divide my goal into three steps. My short-term goal is to pass four courses with minimum B grade this semester. I need to focus in class to achieve it. This goal development that I have to complete this year and can be measured with my course results. My Medium-term Goal is to earn a bachelor's degree in management at Unitec. This goal is the action that I have to complete within 2 years. This goal can be measured by my graduation. My long-term goal is to be an operation manager in New Zealand. despite the degree, I still need to learn some employability skills to become more competitive in the job market, such as Communication skills, Teamwork skills, Problem solving skills, Self-management skills and cultural awareness. I plan to achieve them within the next 5 years. This goal can be measured by my performance and employment success.
Outline the strategies that I intend to employ to upgrade my:
communication skills set
The strategy to improve my communication skills is that I should participate in school activities and make a lot of friends. I feel shy when I talking to foreigners, so I must speak more English to make me confident. I want to improve these skills in my school life when I can have a good relationship with my colleagues and customers in the workplace.
ethical awareness
The strategy to upgrade my ethical awareness is to learn the codes of Ethics and professional standards. Make sure I can understand the codes of Ethics and behave with integrity and due care. I want to improve this strategy through this semester.
cultural awareness of the bi-cultural and multi-cultural context of New Zealand
The strategy to upgrade my cultural awareness of the bi-cultural and multi-cultural context of New Zealand is to pay attention to differences in culture. I should try to do some research on the local customs and etiquette of New Zealand and Maori in my school life.
capabilities to respond and manage technical information
Success in management requires a range of manage technical skills. I plan to learn some management technical tools such as Microsoft Project, PowerPoint, XMind in 2 years by participating the relevant workshops. These skills not only help me to operate machines and software but also coordinate resources effectively.
problem solving skills
Problem-solving skills can be beneficial for my study and career because I always encounter problems in daily life. Improving problem-solving skills can help me to solve problems efficiently. In my opinion, helping people solve their problems by working on group assignments is a good way to improve my problem-solving skills. I can measure my problem-solving skills by analyzing the requirements of school assignments.
