In my team we had numerous of skills that we identified between us. These skills helped us to develop ideas and plan our event plan. as a team we came up with a numerous of ideas that helped us gain success on the actual event day. There were advantages and disadvantages that as a team we had to face, but we overcame all of those problems and we worked together instead of falling apart and not negotiating on a decision. This was one of our key strengths.
Each member freely expressed their opinions on the presentation, whether we liked another members’ input or not, respectfully, constructively and without alienating the other members. Suggestions were put forward requesting other’s opinions regarding any changes that were necessary. There were no major problems with communication, my team members have put their opinions forward, and at no time was there any real tension between group members. Although there were some time lags due to personal commitments and illness, everyone participated in the Wiki discussion board. Instead of having a clear “leader” for the group, we all put forward suggestions and worked towards our common goal.
Then again, I do not work as indicated by agendas and in order to start achieving my goals, I need to be highly motivated. After taking the survey, I learned that I need to manage my time accordingly. There should be time for fun and time for serious work. Individuals who have lower future orientation experience arousal procrastination, putting things off to get a last minute rush. I sometimes distance from or reject future goals so that I can reduce present tension and look for more immediate and pleasurable rewards than longer arranges or future objectives.
When I began the decision making process, the problem I had diagnosed was I no longer wished to be away from my family for long extended periods of time. I looked for alternative solutions for this problem, such as changing my military occupational status. After reviewing possible solutions within the Marine Corps, I found I would not solve the major problem I had, which was the issue of extended periods of time away from my family. Through this evaluation, I made the choice to end my enlistment with the Marine Corps. This choice was implemented and as we now know, I have been working in the civilian sector for the past 6 years.
Decision Making Process Wilmar Smith MGT/230 March 22, 2012 Ralph Apuan Decision Making Process Making decisions is about choices and how to go about them. Making a choice is about being decisive and following through with a plan and pushing forward. But how does one make a decision? According to “Bateman & Snell (2011)“, there are six steps in making a decision; identify and diagnose the problem, generate alternative solutions, evaluate alternatives, make the choice, implement the decision, and evaluate the decision.” (Bateman & Snell, 2011) The first step in making a decision is said to identify and diagnose the problem. This allows you to understand that a problem exists and that a solution must be formulated.
The Decision Making Process MGT/230 July 16, 2012 The Decision Making Process The steps in the decision making process helped me in the past, especially this past spring when I had to decide between two job offers. Identifying the problem, examining the solutions, comparing the alternatives, making the decision, and implementing that decision seemed to be easy in hindsight but at the time it was stressful. I had to decide whether to accept a position as a contractor at a large IT solutions company or a permanent position in the healthcare
Sixes will fight for their beliefs or family and friends more so than they would for themselves. The reason for this intense loyalty is that at their core Sixes are insecure and have anxiety, so they don’t want to be abandoned and left without their support system (i.e. friends and family). When I am really true with myself I see that most of the characteristics of a Type 6 reflect my personality even the negative attributes. Some negative attributes ascribed to a Six that honestly reflect me are as follows: critical of self when expectations are not met, procrastinating due to fear of failure, worry about being taking advantage of, and always scanning for danger.
This is based on the assumption that making tough choices means, making choices that are unethical. It takes courage to make unpopular decisions that reflect ethical values, and those people who stand up for ethics are often alone in the crowd. When companies fail to talk about values, you lose a valuable opportunity to build and reinforce your ethical culture. It may be difficult, but the rewards far exceed the costs. 3.
1.) Identify a fear that has prevented you from achieving the desired goal. Discuss a time where you overcame a fear that led to growth or success. My biggest fear has been my anxiety and fear of failure. No matter where I would go or what I would do I had to overcome that anxiety just, so I could open that front door and go outside.
Personal Reflection Paper In my first discussion question that I answered for this course I said that the difference between thinking and critical thinking was the way that we act upon a thought. I also said that a critical thinker will ask more questions to have a better idea about a particular issue. According to Elder (2009), “It is the art of analyzing and evaluating with the goal of improving thought.” (p.9). During this course I have learned many interesting subjects in relation to critical thinking, but there are three that I found to be most significant. The first one is that individuality means more than claiming independence, it means achieving it by acknowledging the influences that have shaped my thinking, by sorting and evaluating my ideas and attitudes, and finally by choosing the best ideas by resisting the pressure of habit and by changing the ways that I think because the evidence tells me to do so.
