Context:
The assessment suite in this subject is designed to provide students with a framework to
understand organisational behavior and the dynamics of the business environment. The
assessment suite aims to equip students with the necessary skills to understand the
constraints managers and emerging leaders face in developing strategies to leverage
advantages and overcome constraints and barriers in organisations.
Instructions:
Students will will create a SWOT Analysis on themselves and reflect on their current status as
a manager. Students will then comment on their fit with the organisation identified in
Assessment One. The second assignment should include:
 assessment of personal strengths and weaknesses as viewed by self and others.
Students will need to complete a minimum of three self-assessment tools and refer
to these results in their SWOT Analysis;

 feedback received from other people you have been associated with. Feedback is
considered naturally occurring data and includes conversations, emails, formal
references and performance appraisals. You will need to reflect on who is providing
the feedback and how you appear to be progressing;
 a discussion of the opportunities and threats that will impact on your management
journey, including self-development for continuous improvement;
 integration of theory and concepts from the subject, in particular Modules 2-6,
including an assessment of your communication, values and ethics, experience with
managing diversity, experience with networking and working collaboratively, your
ability to give and receive feedback, your ability to influence others and your
capacity to be a leader now and in the future;
 a critical assessment of how you are placed or misplaced within the chosen
organisation from Assessment One; and whether or not you see a future at this
organisation.
The word limit for this report is 2,000. The total word count excludes the following sections:
title page, executive summary, table of contents, references list, appendices, citations,
tables and graphs. Students should submit one file through Turnitin. I need help writing my essay – research paper review the
Turnitin percentage carefully to confirm that the total percentage does not exceed 25% as
well as any single source does not account for more than 5%.
There are a number of forms the report could take. The exact form of the report will
depend on the additional research the student will undertake; students should aim for the
demonstration of deep learning, founded on reflection, rather than on getting any aspect of
the brief ‘right.’
Students should commence this assignment early, keep regular backups and ensure they
submit the correct, final version. Students should use this brief as the instruction set for the
assignment requirements. Additionally, the rubric below can be used to describe what
unacceptable, functional, proficient, advanced and exceptional assignments might look like
according to the criteria in the leftmost column of each row.
As this is a Masters level subject, students are expected to engage with high-quality
academic journal articles, using the Torrens University Library. Textbooks, Wikipedia and, in
general, anything that can be obtained through an open Google search page are considered
supplementary material.
Students should begin their reflection, if they have not already previously done it, by
undertaking some of the readily available online self-assessment tools. Your facilitator will
provide some examples including the Gallup Strengths Finder Assessment tool and the
Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test.

Learning Rubrics
There are numerous ways to interpret the assessment brief. This rubric should not be used as a prescription or tick-the-box list of
requirements but as a description of an amalgam of several possible interpretations and the standards they might take. The assessment will
be graded holistically, based on the criteria in the leftmost column. Your interpretation may not match the rubric exactly as you may extend
the requirements, using your initiative to demonstrate your mastery of the subject matter. Additionally, you may demonstrate elements
described in the Advanced column and still be graded ‘Functional’ for one or more of the criteria (the reverse trend is also possible). Higher
performing submissions will depend on wider reading, rather than on the rubric verbatim.
