Description

I have been assigned to do a project which helped me to understand the importance of corporate social responsibility of businesses to increase their skills. I made proper schedule of my report formation and used internet to understand all information and project in my report writing effectively (Figurska, 2016).

This helped me to gain better information about all the skills which are required to make the report to develop my knowledge and to make effective decision. I wanted to learn all the skills to generate effective performance in my life and also become more efficiency person to achieve objectives.

Feelings

I am feeling that communication skills is very essential to gain better information and perform effective learning process (Margariti, 2018). I feel that managers of multinational businesses faces many challenges due to lack of effective communication skills, team work, time management skills, information and communication technology skills to formulate effective corporate social responsibility in the market. This has increased my thinking of importance and benefit of conducting personal development plan and motivating myself to attain all the skills and increase my potential to achieve all the objectives effectively. I think that personal development plan provide broad understanding about my strengths and weaknesses to gain better understanding of my tasks. I feel more confident in understanding all the skills and self evaluate them.

This report has also increased the efficiency of my learning process and provided me bring knowledge about all the skills required to increase my engagement with other people around me. I also helped myself by reading more books and gain better information about social responsibilities to understand the issues which are faced by companies and made me more concerned about society as they are not more educated. I have seen more people uneducated then to listen to companies. By this report I also understand that it is very essential to self asses the skills and knowledge of own self to make sure the efficiency to achieve the objective assigned by superiors (Verweij and et.al., 2018).
