DeVry card 548 Full Course-latest 2016 without week1 Assignment And
Week7 Final Presentation
Question
Week 1 discussion
Dq1
VARK Learning Style Inventory
This week we began our study of Career Strategy by taking the VARK
Learning Style Inventory to determine our individual preferences on how we
acquire knowledge. Please comment on your indicated learning style, and explain how you
think you can put it to the best use.
Dq2
Self-Awareness and Career Success
Why is understanding yourself important in your career development? How
can you ensure that an employer will realize that you have a clear grasp of who
you are and what you have to offer?
Week 2 discussion
Dq1
Life Skills
In "What Color Is Your Parachute?" (2007, now in its 36th
printing, Ten Speed Press), Richard Bolles suggests that there are three life
skills that schools should teach but don't: (1) How to find a job, (2) How to
choose and find an appropriate partner, husband, or wife, and (3) How to think
and how to make good decisions. Do you think the author is correct? You do NOT need to read the book to
discuss this question.
Dq2
DISC Personality Profile
This week we began our self-analysis by taking the AMA DISC Personality
Survey (TM) to establish a personal baseline for our work in the course. Your full
results will be filed in the Dropbox by the end of Week 2. See DocSharing
for the report format. Please comment here on any perceptions or conclusions you wish to share
with the class at this point. What does this work mean to you? Did you recognize the person described
in the DISC results? From your knowledge of your classmates, and what they said
in class and report here on their DISC, do you think this report is accurate?
Week 3 discussion
Dq1
Role Models
Class, let's discuss any conclusions that you reached on your research
and writing about role models. What did you find that was important to you, and what most surprised you
about the individuals in your report on role models? What can you begin to
transfer to your own perceptions of career tracks? Will there be any
"shifts" in direction on your work at Keller?
Dq2
Career Aspects
Class, let's discuss our progress in submitting our assignments for the
Dropbox this week. How did you find 1) setting longer term goals, 2) setting short term
academic goals, and 3) anticipating obstacles? Also, how do the results of your
Stress Processing Inventory affect these three lists? Do you have any comments
you wish to share with the class?
Week 4 discussion
Dq1
Emerging Global Trends
Class, in this thread please discuss your perceptions of the research
into international organizations and issues. Let's keep this
focused and start with three questions. What most impressed you in this research? What emerging trends did you
find that may affect your career choices? How has this research affected your
choices, either in terms of timing for transition points in your career, for
possible career changes, or for global locations for your work?
Dq2
Career Futures
Class, in this thread we will discuss what we anticipate for career
outlooks three, five, and ten years after your date of graduation with your MBA
degree. Become a career
consultant for this thread. With the additional knowledge gained from your research this week,
imagine you are making a "time line" to advise someone with career
ambitions similar to yours. What would you tell them? While our discussion in the other thread for
this week may involve large global issues, make your recommendations here
specific. What are three
key points you would make?
Week 5 discussion
Dq1
Global Leaders.
In the book Global Literacies (Simon & Schuster 2000), Robert Rosen
states :
"Leaders are kept awake at night by hard business realities: the
need to generate profitable growth, reach markets quickly, protect their
reputation, and anticipate the unexpected.
But their deeper sleeplessness comes from the human challengers: How can
they acquire and retain the best talent to lead their companies through change?
How can they promote teamwork across boundaries and borders? How can they
develop executives to lead in the world? 'Our scarcest resource is globally
literate leaders,' warns Alfred Zeien, chairman and CEO of Gillette, one of the
Unites States' most global companies" (page 25).
Class, in this thread, let's discuss key elements of leaders operating
within global organizations. What are some key skill sets and personality traits of "globally
literate leaders?"
Dq2
Meaningful Work
In the book The New Global Leaders (Jossy-Bass 1999), Manfred F.R. de Vries (with
Elizabeth Florent-Treacy) states:
"Work in organizations, directed toward achieving shared goals,
also answers another human need: it allows us to feel useful. Individuals
need to commit themselves to something that is valuable, that has a positive
impact. Through
usefulness is a highly subjective experience, it is linked to the particular
objectives and causes that drive individuals to transcend their customary
abilities. Because a
search for usefulness--for meaning--largely determines a person's life course,
it also influences life in organizations. Once again,
this poses a challenge for the global leader: how to find a purpose or
objective that employees from different cultures see as meaningful, inspiring
them to strive in ways that simplistic formulas of return on investment and
profit maximization cannot."
Is there some truth to the author's contention? What is it that we would
find meaningful to our life's purpose in the midst of an organization or work
setting?
Week 6 discussion
Dq1
Leading Change
In his book Leading Change (HBS Press 1996), John Kotter states:
"A strategy of embracing the past will probably become increasingly
ineffective over the next few decades. Better for most of us to start learning now how to cope with change, to
develop whatever leadership potential we have, and to help our organizations in
the transformation process. Better for most of us, despite the risks, to leap into the future. And to do so
sooner rather than later."
Do you agree with the author? If he is correct, how can we apply that to
our own career plans?
Dq2
Learning To Keep Learning
In an article titled "Learning To Keep Learning" in the New
York Times, dated December 13, 2006, Thomas L. Friedman
states:
"I listened to this with mixed emotions. Part of me said
'Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to have a government that was so focused on
innovation -- instead of one that is basically anti-science.' My other
emotion was skepticism. Oh, you know the line: Great Britain dominated the 19th century, America
dominated the 20th and now China is going to dominate the 21st. It's game over.
"No question, China has been able to command an impressive effort
to end illiteracy, greatly increasing its number of high school grads and new
universities. But I still
believe it is very hard to produce a culture of innovation in a country that
censors [Google] which for me is a proxy for curtailing people's ability to
imagine and try anything they want. You can command K-12 education. But you can't command innovation. Rigor and competence, without freedom, will take China only so far. China will have
to find a way to loosen up, without losing control, if it wants to be a truly
innovative nation." (access through ProQuest Data Base in the Keller
library-article 94 of 239 listed therein for that issue)
Comment on how one can stay abreast of changes that will likely affect a
career plan. How will we
keep up to date in time to make effective career transitions?
Week 7 discussion

CARD548 PREPARATION GUIDE: DISC Assignment
Personal Styles Analysis:
The AMA DISC SurveyTM
INTRODUCTION:
The DISC Survey is designed to measure four basic styles of behavior. Those are
Directing, Influencing, Supportive, and Contemplative. Each style has
strong points, and possible weaknesses, to an individual’s effectiveness. The survey
materials will show both productive aspects of each of the four styles, as well
as counterproductive aspects.
Take the DISC Survey online using the instructions found in the Week One
Assignments page. Then, complete the following assignment that is due in the Dropbox by
the end of Week Two of the session.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
Write a 3 to no more than 5 page double-spaced paper [be sure to use
subheadings to identify each section] in which you use the results of your DISC
Survey. The content of
your DISC paper should include, but is not limited to, answers to the following
questions:
Describe your strongest style(s) and your weakest style. Provide
examples to illustrate how the strong styles characterize you (or, in the case
of your weakest style, do not characterize you). If your profile
is balanced, describe either how the four styles equally characterize you or
how your styles change depending on circumstances.
Consider the possible effects of family, school, organizational
memberships, and/or culture on the development of your self-reported styles. Discuss the
factor that you think was most important in shaping your personal styles.
Discuss the impact of your styles in terms of two factors--such as
interpersonal relations, group activities, individual or managerial performance.
Focus on a single style and a concrete, behavioral strategy for change.
If there are certain issues that you would prefer not to discuss, simply
exclude them from your paper and focus on other styles, events, or factors.
Your assignments are due by Sunday, end of week two, 11:59 P.M. (MT). Submit your
assignment to the Dropbox. The assignment is worth 100 points.
Week 3
CARD548 PREPARATION GUIDE: SPR Assignment
Stress Processing Report
INTRODUCTION:
The Stress Processing Report is designed to assist you in uncovering
thinking patterns that may be limiting your personal success or causing you
distress. This
survey/report is only effective if you consider it confidential and personal,
and an accurate benchmark of how you are perceiving life at this particular
moment. With that
approach, you will be able to design goals to improve your effectiveness and
attempt to limit the stressors in your life. You will decide
how much of the results of this SPR work to share with the instructor and your
class mates.
Take the SPR online using the instructions found in the Week Two
Assignments page. Then, complete the following assignment that is due in the Dropbox by
the end of Week three of the session.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT:
Write a 2 to no more than 3 page double-spaced paper [be sure to use
subheadings to identify each section] in which you use the results of your SPR.The content of
your SPR paper should include, but is not limited to, answers to the following questions:
Review the information in all 19 domains of your SPR. What are the
three areas of greatest need (lowest scores) and what cluster(s) do they fall
in? What key behaviors may apply to these areas?
Does your experience confirm the SPR results and indicate to you that
the problems indicated are real and important? What is most important, and what
domain needs attention at this point?
Review the behavior examples for this critical domain. Describe where
these behaviors were learned, and what causes you to continue to be influenced
by them. Then consider
the self-improvement suggestions for these behaviors. What steps do
you think should be taken to improve feelings and behaviors in this area?
Describe a focused behavioral strategy for change that you believe would
work and that appears attainable in the near term.
If there are certain issues that you would prefer not to discuss, simply
exclude them from your paper and focus on other events or factors in the SPR.
Your assignments are due by Sunday, end of week three, 11:59 P.M. (MT). Submit your
assignment to the Dropbox. The assignment is worth 40 points.
