Report Guidelines

The self-awareness report is designed to be a practical exercise with personal benefits – a real-life self-management strategy to assist you in obtaining a suitable employment position and developing your career. This report should demonstrate a solid self-awareness and discuss your career-related strengths and weaknesses.

You discussion should focus on the Organisational Behaviour (OB) factors discussed in this unit. Include the following headings/parts:

Executive Summary

Remember that an Executive Summary of a report is just that, a summary. It contains a statement of report purpose and an overview of the actual and specific findings. Generally, it should be no longer than one page and does not count towards the word limit of your report. The Executive Summary can only be written after you have completed your report. Write in past tense (e.g. The purpose of this report was to …). If an Executive Summary is well written the reader should be able to understand the main points, findings, and conclusions of the actual report without having to read the full report. Be sure to check the Academic Skills Quick Guides for details on how to write an excellent executive summary.
