For my project management class, I had to do a SWOT analysis. In short, I had to evaluate myself from a management prospective.
For me, this wasn’t so hard. I just got promoted a few months back and now I am doing a lot more management style work. Keep in mind, this is project management not line management. The difference is that a line manager has influence over the people who work for them while a project manager is your coworker who has been asked by management to see a project through. This means that I have a team of people working for me but I have no influence over their pay, job or performance evaluation so if they don’t do as I ask, I can ask again where a line manager can directly impact their career.
If you are truly interested, you can read my paper (attached). I turned it in today so it hasn’t been graded yet. Also, if you are a student at CityU and you are planning to copy my paper for your own class, you are a scumbag.
If you really want to read my self analysis, it is attached here
