Next, carefully examine the behavioral competencies within the business domain. The three clusters within the business domain are business acumen, consultation, and critical evaluation.

Once you are familiar with the business domain clusters, conduct a self-reflection and analysis by responding to the following three questions as your journal entry.

– Strengths: What are your areas of strength within the business domain, and how did you determine a cluster as a strength? Provide supportive examples.

– Weaknesses: What are your areas of weakness within the business domain and how did you determine a cluster as a weakness? Provide supportive examples.

– Strategies: What are your strategies for the development of behavioral competencies within the business domain? Provide supportive examples and information from your research.
