1. Where do your managers, peers, and subordinates agree with your self-assessment? Where do they disagree? In what areas did you excel? In what areas would you most like to improve?
From the self-assessment, management, peers and subordinates agree with me a on a litany of items. I personally was very relieved to see that management, peers, and subordinates agreed with my assessments related to collaboration, judgement, positivity. Likewise, they all agreed with my assessments relating to problem, solving, coaching and communication. Each of the above elements consider a core competency within my overall professional abilities. For one, I espouse the belief that communication and team engagement are central to my teamwork skills. These skills have been supported and validated by my peers through this self-assessment.
Personally, from my prior work experience, many of my managers commend my ability to communicate with my peers. This is a critical element within my overall work environment. My first few jobs where in the retail and restaurant industry. Here, I was able to the learn the value of clear communication and how it eventually impacts the overall team dynamic. I have applied these communication skills throughout my work career and have attempted to further hone these skills within a leadership context. This is particularly true given the COVID-19 operating environment. Here, my current job has transitioned into a hybrid learning environment. This requirement requires constant and prolong communication throughout the course of the day. This is important as many teammates are now working from home and are looking to continue to operate efficiently within an online environment. I typically agree with my managers, as I look to communicate much more aggressively within these online environments. For one, communication as to what I am specifically working on has been very valuable within an online environment. More importantly, agree with managements assessment on my ability to effectively determine solutions. These solutions, particularly in an online format, are often derived through strong collaboration and teamwork skills. Here too, I agree with both the peer and subordinate evaluation of these elements (Andrade, 2008).
Finally, I am very proud that both subordinates and managers ranked my ethical skills very high. This is again very gratifying given the overall ethical needs presented during this COVID-19 labor environment. My teammates have consistently ranked my high from a ethical perspective as I look to exemplify high ethical standards with all of my work products.
As it relates to areas of disagreement, I scored relatively low on elements such as searching for new idea, sharing expertise, and participating in professional development associations. I disagree with these elements as I am heavily involved in professional organizations and have even taken leadership roles within them. Here, I believe the discrepancy is a result of many of my peers and subordinates not knowing that I am involved in these professional organizations and are therefore unable to properly substantiate the assessment. However, I have heavily involved in the local chapter of Toastmasters which looks to improve overall public speaking and communication skills for young professionals. I also disagree with the overall assessment from both management and my subordinates. I also believe that I am a very strong team player. I am very willing to provide and disseminate relevant technical expertise to others. However, from the management perspective, much of this is unnoticed as these contributions are not readily promoted to management. As a result, many of the contributions made, management is not fully aware of and therefore are unable to properly assess. Here, I disagree with the assessment and believe it should be higher relative to my contributions to the organization and the manner in which I share relevant information with both management and subordinates.
As it relates to areas in which I excel, the best elements are both my collaboration, teamwork, and communication skills. This where all substantiated by both management and subordinates during the evaluation. As noted above, I excel in these areas primarily due to my training very early in my working...
…Here, it has shown the ability to transition my communication skills into properly leadership and problem-solving skills as indicated by my assessment above. However, the power and legitimacy subtopic may be warranted given that I am just starting my career and therefore have to establish these areas with my leadership competencies.4. Conclusion. Offer concluding thoughts about what you think are the most important learnings/take-aways from the evaluation of your assessment results.
The most important learning and take away form the evaluation is that students must continually learn and improve. It is simply not sufficient in a dynamic environment to remain stagnant. The business environment is simply too dynamic for an indivdiaul to simply stay still in their overall development. From these assessments, I have learned that importance of continual learning and continual development of both soft and hard skills. Likewise, it is important to continually learn from others within the organization in a much more collaborative fashion (Andrade, 2010).
Next, another key takeaway is that individual perceptions of skills may not be indicative of what others perceive of you. Here, I believe I scored higher on certain elements that where actually scored lower by my peers, subordinates, and superiors. Here, I learned that it is very easy to have an inflated sense of self when it comes to a self-assessment. An evaluation allows for a much more realistic approach to assessment as it encorporates the views, opinions, and thoughts of multiple data points. This diversity of opinion allows, for a much more realistic approach towards evaluation. This also has allowed me to further identify areas of improvement and devise methods in which to properly improve myself from both a professional and personal level.
Finally, I learned that a single assessment should not be relied on in its entirety. It is much more advisable to have a diversified approach to assessment. For one, a single assessment can be very limiting in its ability to provide decision appropriate outcomes. Instead, having a diversified approach can help the individual validate and substantiate the…

Google's work environment is actually quite famous -- a place where creative people gather and work in a relatively free environment. Employees are allotted company time to work on individual, personal projects. They sell the company on things like "do cool things that matter," diversity, innovation. The company offers fairly generous benefits, for example, and it takes a slightly different approach to hiring. Google employees are motivated intrinsically, as evidenced
The author's study developed measures through which creativity can be determined; this was a process that was not thoroughly strengthened in Stokols et. al.'s study. Operationally defining the creativity variable would enable the authors to at least make a strong claim that what they were actually measuring is creativity in the workplace, rather than just personal stress and/or job satisfaction. Because of the poor operationalization on the expected outcome
