performance evaluation

Using your own job (current or past) and briefly discuss how your performance was managed and evaluated.
Working in the Computer field for years. I find my job role seems to become more flexible. Now, I often find myself doing a little bit of everything. Especially when there is an absent employee, and I would take over his/her duties till he/she came back to resume his/her job role. Normally, my job is helping management to oversee this computer store, so as to make sure it is up and running smoothly. Usually, I manage my job with a method to plan for upcoming event early, so the work can be handled more efficiently without being in a hurry. Preparing the needed mentor and consulting for employees when issues occur would help my job performance to be better. Often, when a planned job gets done, we will take a look to see if there are areas that need to be adjusted (Nguyen, 2017). We will also do the evaluation and ask for feedbacks so as to make a progress and to have a better performance next time (Uzialko, 2018). 
Using your experience, consider the three most important job duties and design three (3) objects or measurements using the SMART method. 
 SMART method:
. Specific: Identifying and working on a project specifically
. Measureable: Using data and numbers that is countable
. Achievable: Making a goal to be realistic, achievable and reachable 
. Relevant: Linking the needs of the manager and team to the value of the project
. Time- Bound: Setting a time frame for finishing a project (Parkhill, 2017)
My job duties include: Giving the technical support to the front desk when an issue of invoice issuing occurs; verifying/ correcting both customer and products’ data; making sure work files are recorded and saved. Through SMART method, in our work place, projects can be better done. For instance, we can design our marketing to be more specific, measurable, and attainable. We can design our technical support to be more specific and relevant. We can design our HR policy to a degree that would be more specific in protecting our company from the possible employment lawsuits by designing a way that is more measurable, relevant, and workable (Practically Perfect PA, 2013).
Once you’ve done this, discuss your experience using this method. Did you find it difficult? Why or why not?
My experience of using SMART method: Using SMART method has made our company goals to be more clear and specific. It makes it easier for every employee to carry out our company’s goals. SMART method empowers each of us to become confident in achieving goals. It also assists me to become a better leader/ HR manager. Besides, I would like to become a HR director, who would become one of our company’s top executives. For this specific goal, I am looking forward to learn and gain the necessary knowledge /experiences / certification to be prepared for that job position if there is an opportunity (Parkhill, 2017).

Example of a Self-Concept Case Study

Cultural Intelligence for Leaders (2012) defined self-concept as “the totality of complex, organized, and dynamic system of learned beliefs, attitudes and opinions that each person holds to be true about his/her personal existence” & the self-concept we hold to be true helps us form a “perception of who we are based on expectations from, and responses to, our social environment; stimulated by internal and external factors that can create intense emotional responses, impacting on our willingness to learn and our choice of action - guiding our behaviors” (p. 127). In the case (WA, 2018) Jack is a 36-year-old leader within a major hospital who prides himself as a professional. In his work, he supports and helps each of his team members. In his personal life, he used to focus on eating healthy and exercising regularly. In the past year, his focus on healthy living declined because of professional responsibilities. As a consequence, his state of health deteriorated to a point that hi

DeBeers - the diamond trading company

PESTEL analysis Political aspect: In 1994 the DeBeers operation was prohibited in the United States territory because of antitrust legislation. These facts complicate the DeBeers operation and shake the whole company. Economic aspect: Although in 1990s DeBeers ruled the whole industry, after several events such as Soviet Union collapse and Alrosa’s appearing, DeBeers lost its control over the market. In addition, Canada’s appearing in the diamond market forced DeBeers to hold back a large portion of its diamonds from the market and purchase much of the excess supply from these producing countries often at inflated prices (McAdams, Reavis, 2008, p.7). Social aspect: In the mid-1990, Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Democratic Republic Congo were outflanked by rebel forces opposed to the government. DeBeers sponsored this military conflict by “blood diamonds” purchasing. Technological aspect: The main threat is the synthetic diamonds grown is the lab-conditions. This tec

Case Study 2: Young, Confident, and Moving too Fast

Introduction             The increasing complexities of organizations as it grows and as some take the path of globalization resulted in diversity and attracted many forms of cultural differences. Hence, the need to manage these cultural differences existing within organizations has been increasingly becoming necessary. This is particularly true for managers who may be caught in between various individual culture that each of its subordinates is accustomed to. Managing cultural differences requires what they called cultural intelligence (CQ). Broadly speaking, CQ is the ability to cut across various cultural contexts such as ethnic, generational, or organizational cultures (Livermore, 2011, p. 5). In this paper, the generational cultural differences between Joanne, the manager, and Julia, the newly hired subordinate will be discussed. To give a brief background, Julia is a confident, fast learner, and passionate young woman who wants to do more in her job without being micromanaged
