1. Explain the purpose of the following types of assessment in learning and development • Initial Assessment • Formative Assessment • Summative Assessment Formative Assessment Initial assessment provides the information needed to plan an individual’s learning and improve their chances of learning effectively. Without it, there are only assumptions. It’s always possible to make some predictions about learners from an application form or selection test, but it’s an insecure basis for planning. Learners themselves bring assumptions about learning based on the past, and some of these may get in the way of looking ahead to a new way of learning.
If you were using the cognitive approach you would only get qualitative data which could be a problem as not everyone interprets the same answer in the same way. This would be more objective. This would also mean it is not valid as you are measuring why you think

Self-managed teams are difficult to implement, and Dalman along with Lei would need to take that into consideration and be willing to invest some of their time into developing the team and then removing their self once they feel comfortable with team handling the situations. By assigning managers under their level, the self-managed teams would be better equipped to handle daily activities. This would involve training the self-managed teams to better plan and determine what type of training would help manage their daily responsibilities. Once the self-managed teams are trained and assigned the goal would be to reduce Dalman’s involvement in having to go visit the operating locations and addressing manager operation concerns, and Lei would be able to completely
Following Peekay in his journey and seeing how he succeeded without always having help and support was a huge eye opener for me. I realized that it may be good to have a little assistance here and there when you need it, but ultimately you must be able to count on yourself because you determine your own destiny. Becoming independent is something that everyone has to experience sooner or later and a great place to start is with something small like a sport and then move on to bigger things in life such as getting your first job, your own home, and starting a family without your parents always at your side. I thought that The Power of One was definitely one of the most inspiring and well written books I have ever read. It had so many life lessons hidden deep inside the context of every page and every chapter.
I am the type of person who wants to know everything and be the best at every task I perform, and doing the necessary work to identify the appropriate source of information will make that task just a bit easier. Conclusion I believe that the role of the knowledge worker has changed, thanks mostly to technology. Most people have become so reliant on technology that they have become lazy. But the true knowledge workers do what is needed in search of more knowledge, and those are the real assets to the organization. It has been proven that knowledge workers cannot be effective if they are micromanaged or told how they need to complete their tasks (Hammer, 2004).
Sometimes you’ve got to approach somebody to get more out of the experience. Pausch and his father was Disney and his dad wanted to ride in the very front but didn’t think they could. “Sometimes all you have to do is ask.” (177). The point is to stop wondering what you can and can’t do, go figure out and get the answer. We all have people we don’t like but we probably didn’t give them enough time.
In order to do this the leader must understand their followers and “speak their language.” Effectively communicating the overall vision and expressing what you stand for are the key components to this practice. I have worked on projects where the overall goal was not 100% clear. When the goal is not clear people have a propensity to lose focus and move on to other things. Challenge the process – for me, this practice was most the interesting. “Leaders are pioneers, people who are will to step out into the unknown.” I agree with Warren Bennis “leaders learn by leading, and they learn best by leading in the face obstacles.” The experience of leading a group through a project or task provides the leader with a list of do’s and don’ts for the future.
If all members of the team are equally capable of doing the work of particular discipline, then team member are substituted for one another. In that case teams have to learn from each other and how to work together as well. Teams, even more than individuals, learn through errors and mistakes because of the many interactions among members’ more than well-designed training program or well preparation of individuals. The team work would allow for more learning among the team with new ways of doing things to improve team performance-even if some of the new ways turned out not to work. Team management as one of the main factors of speed up the learning shows how the management affects the team work.
It was Mike’s plan to work in some of the various departments and learn more about the day to day operations before taking on senior management. In addition he admitted to not having skills in leading job execution, “it [business school] didn’t teach me how to get the job done or the execution of a decision” (Rowe & Guerrero, 2011). This lack of leadership would prove to be critical in managing his new employees, as he would need interpersonal techniques to gain the trust of other managers who wanted his job and felt his success was a bi-product of nepotism. His lack of leadership would also affect his ability to bring positive change to the culture of the organization as a whole. Though Mike was aware that the store was failing to meet financial goals, upon
