OL 600 Module Two Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Self Analysis: Behavioral Competency: The Business Domain
Overview: For this journal task, you will conduct a self-reflection of your current strengths and skill gaps related to the behavioral competencies within the
business domain. You will also suggest ways to improve upon your weaknesses. This activity will help you practice the use of behavioral competencies that you
will need to complete your final project.
Journals in this course are private between each student and the instructor.
Prompt: First, review the module resources, including the text readings and SHRM resources. Next, carefully examine the behavioral competencies within the
business domain. The three clusters within the business domain are business acumen, consultation, and critical evaluation.
Once you are familiar with the business domain clusters, conduct a self-reflection and analysis by responding to the following three questions as your journal
assignment.
Strengths: What are your areas of strength within the business domain, and how did you determine a cluster as a strength? Provide supportive
examples.
Weaknesses: What are your areas of weakness within the business domain and how did you determine a cluster as a weakness? Provide supportive
examples.
Strategies: What are your strategies for the development of behavioral competencies within the business domain? Provide supportive examples and
information from your research.
Refer to the Module Two resources and other course materials to support your responses. Your instructor will provide feedback pertaining to your self-reflection
and offer recommendations for skill development.
