WGU C216 TASK 3 - MBA
COMPETENCIES AND CAREER
GOALS IN HR LEADERSHIP WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
, A. Three Competencies Developed
Throughout my MBA program, courses like Accounting for Decision
Makers and Financial Management sharpened my ability to analyze
financial reports, assess costs, and make investment decisions that
maximize returns. These skills were critical during the business
simulation, where understanding how production costs, pricing, and
investment in capacity impacted our bottom line helped us achieve
the highest financial performance score. This competency will
serve me well in HR or business leadership roles where managing
budgets, evaluating financial trade-offs, and calculating the return on
investment for workforce programs is essential. It allows me to
align people strategies with financial goals.
Courses like Data-Driven Decision Making and Operations
Management taught me how to gather, interpret, and apply data to
business challenges. During the simulation, I relied on sales reports,
production data, and performance metrics to refine strategies each
quarter from adjusting advertising budgets to scaling production
without overextending resources. In my career, data-driven
decision-making will be critical for analyzing recruitment metrics,
workforce trends, and organizational performance to drive strategic
decisions and optimize operations.
My courses in Ethical Leadership and Management Communication
strengthened my ability to lead with integrity and communicate
effectively in complex business situations. The simulation reinforced
this when balancing aggressive growth strategies with ethical
considerations like fair pricing, responsible production, and long-term
reputation. This competency is essential for leading teams,
navigating organizational change, and building a personal leadership
brand rooted in ethical decision-making and clear, effective
communication especially in people-centered roles like HR or talent
management.
B. SMART Goals
Specific:
Within the next 2 years, I will secure a director-level role in Human
Resources with an emphasis on organizational leadership, focusing on
leading strategic HR initiatives, workforce planning, and
organizational development.
Measurable:
I will target and apply to at least 3 Director-level roles per week after
