Abstract
The Blueprint for Personal & Professional Growth (BPPG) is designed to help individuals with development skills to become a leader, how to address strengths and weaknesses, and skills to help me achieve my personal and professional goals. Throughout this course, I learned how to individual and interpersonal behavior, working as a team, being diverse with other cultures, and how to make effective decisions to achieve goals in the organization. Reflecting the skills and knowledge I learned I will discuss teaming and interpersonal relationships, leading people, personal leadership goals, and outreach to contacts that helped with relationship management.
Part 1: Teaming and Interpersonal Relationships
Reflecting throughout the Leading People course, I learned leadership concepts, leadership styles, working with other cultures, effective decision making, and teamwork. The purpose of leaders applying motivation and coaching techniques is to get employees involved in their work and excited about working for the organization (DuBrin, 2013, p.305). Using recognition and career opportunities motivated me to work as a team player, a business professional, and going the extra mile to complete a task. According to DuBrin (2013, p.312), the premise underlying goal theory is that behavior is regulated by values and goals and what you are trying to accomplish. Achieving goals and building relationships, it is important to have effective decision making to collaborate on ideas that can build on the vision and overcome risks impacting production and clients.
Participating in Team D, I learned how to understand and critically analyze the problem with Leslie’s organization and knowing the issues on why her team is not selling products effectively. Effective decision making is important for the leader and their team to brainstorm on the issue,
