Abstract
As students are highly influenced in the learning process by their emotions, they also need a proper time for self-reflection. This paper aims to present the main insights of business students in the Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania when challenged to set their personal development plans, after reflecting on their own strengths and weaknesses observed especially through JOHARI window used in class and three self-assessment questionnaires—drivers (working styles), career anchors and Belbin (team roles). Building personal development plans is an important step in the educational process. Although not taken at its real value because of the young age of the students, it is an activity that should be considered each semester, very well linked to the management discipline and to the career development of students/future graduates.
Keywords: Students, personal development plans, motivation, educational process.
