Organization of the exhibition schedules were one of my primary tasks as a coordination manager. The documentation needed for this process was the database iof clients, their requirements, budgeting, and floor plans designed for the venue. According to Garrison & Vaughan,(2008), organization is one of the primary functions of manager and important in keeping track of all tasks planned. This activity has provided me learning to improve the communication skills in both verbal and non verbal modes. Long arguments and negotiations with prospective clients and made them agree on the offered site plan and schedules if their activities were challenging but have provided me an edge on the other new internees 2. Increasing social networking Increasing social contacts and networking with new clients were an important task on this internship as I am a savvy internet user and use social networks like Facebook and Twitter to communicate friends and colleagues. For this advantage, I have developed the face book page of Creative Vision and started using Twitter account for intra office communication. These advancements have positively influenced the speed of working and have affected the company networking in an excellent manner. Our clients have preferred this fast communication mode for the updates of exhibition proceedings. A part from these successful venture, I have faced certain difficulties also in establishing the warm relationships with some seniors and my fellow interns. The success factors for my progress have affected negatively and it was become more difficult for me to decrease these barriers. The team management skills learned during this phase are very important as I had to learn to accept the difference of opinions, criticism, and stoppages from the team members. In this phase, the
tips given from my supervisor were very important, and have given me a real life edge on understanding the attitudes of my team members.
Task IV- Review of Personal Development Plan
4.1 Review of the effectiveness of PDP and activities Performed The critical assessment of designed goals of this internship opportunity needs to be made to analyze the success of the project. This action based Learning activity is analyzed on the basis of organizational as well as personal goals. The set goals were analyzed during and end of the internship period with significant areas are found like Effectiveness in future actions, work-to-do lists and searching of new solutions with creative edges. The supervisor at Creative Vision was not only peculiar about work deadlines but also taught practical ways to organize and lead the teams in crisis situations. Work Preciseness in future project needs planning and effective team management skills trio accommodate the differences, lead with a difference, and optimizing the minimal resources available in the organization. The absence of understanding consumers needs, lack of organization, and the ignorance of little details of projects can lead to serious blunders and may result in failure of the projects. Therefore, this tenure of about fo6ur weeks has given me lifelong learning. The initiatives of the launch of this mega brands exhibition has also added ample experiences of managing the tasks in urgent notices and how tight vision of a small creative agency like Creative Vision can make a difference for hundreds of clients, the trust of our clients were on the professionalism of our working teams and the visionary approaches of the CEO. All in all, the achievement of my three leadership and management skills planned in PDP were somewhat achieved through this experience and I have learnt a lot from my success and failures.
4.2 Further Development and update of PDP
In order to further develop the PDP in future and to conclude the learning experiences, the addition I am making here is mostly related to the internal willingness and leadership qualities that urge for success in any professional. The role of coordination manager was very important for the department as well as for the whole organization. In this role, I did not only learn from others experiences, discussion, social networking, but also from the hidden potential of myself. The role of supervisor is also very important in discovering the skills and polishing them for attaining better results. I am hopeful for future endeavors that I can utilize my learning experience in professional career and to advance my studies in the areas of team building and negotiation skills. Effective communication skills are mandatory in keeping connections within and outside the organization. Also, using analytical skills for decision making processes are also very important and I will use these skills in planning and analyzing processes in future tasks. Furthermore, team management is the area that needs to be primarily focused in future as I have faced serious difficulties in making collaboration in teams.
