The test that examines more in depth of leadership styles produced a somewhat predicted outcome. I know that my style and personality are strongly linked to achieving a task to completion. There are few times where I put people’s concerns or worries ahead of the task, generally when necessary but defaulting to task at hand as priority. I don’t believe that I’m inconsiderate of people as my style is to be balance the work loads and give people an opportunity to achieve their directives. This allows me to focus more on the issue at hand and worry less about people’s opinions.
He believed in digging deep to find the passion and desire you did not realize you had. He criticized when he needed to and gave praise when there was room. He taught me to never settle for mediocre. Today, I take his leadership and apply it to my everyday life by striving above and beyond what people expect. Life Purpose There use to be a time when I was not sure of my life purpose.
It says that I care about safety and security of people I love, such as family members, friends and others. It is very true since I would love to get things done as much as possible for them, and make sure that everything runs smoothly in their daily lives. I would spend my whole day doing things for a person without the need of anything in return. Even though I make myself feel that I am stupid, I always want to do over and over again for people in order to help them whenever they need me. I love to take responsibility when people can rely on me; thus whenever I could not accomplish it, I blame it on myself.
Carl Rogers, The author of the essay “Communication: Its Blocking and its Facilitation”, presents the idea that communication between people today is struggling. Rogers states that the “major factors in blocking or impending communication” is due to “our very natural tendency to judge” other people’s thoughts, ideas, and opinions without ever being in their shoes (419). Rogers goes in depth on the overlaying problems of communication these days but also gives us various ways to help us communicate on a new level of understanding. When communicating with individuals, we must listen and not immediately judge the person. Rogers puts blame on this as one of the biggest reasons for communication breakdown.
They help clear out resentments and help people understand each other. Their job makes it easier for them to resolve conflict on a personal level since they resolve other people’s conflicts on an everyday basis. Their conflict emulates all of the preceding functions. Even though John and Jeremy are best friends, they still experience conflict with each other but they used this conflict to get their problems out in the open. They came together at the end by making their goals clear to each other which, in turn helped clear out their resentments and helped them appreciate where the
However, I feel that one must be able to explore the opportunities around them and take advantage of them to truly learn and grow. My mother always told me that “one of life best teachers is life itself.” While going through the experience of moving to somewhere unfamiliar, I learned that one of my greatest qualities is being able to produce great work while under pressure and in unfamiliar territories. I am a
enjoy figuring out my own problems and not relying on others to do it for me. I take pride in figuring out what other struggle to do. I was surprised by a few area of my report such as my blind spot and Crisis. I didn’t realize that my actions could cause people upset and pain because I’m so focused on my good motive and realizing that developing a practice of mindfulness and reflection could help reduce becoming exhausted. Ethical Lens helps me visualize who I am as a person and puts my actions and goals into one report.
Let me fist began with accountability. Accountability is major part of being successful in life and in your career. It seems like in society, people are just looking for any avenue possible to shift the blame and not take responsibilities for their own actions. I feel employers are looking for someone who not only acknowledges his or her errors, and take responsibility for his or her actions, but also someone who is willing to learn from their mistakes and not blame someone else. Everyone makes mistakes but the real test is how you react.
(Solomon, Dekel, & Thomas, 2014) Workplace Conflict and Resolution Peace and conflict surrounds us in our everyday lives. Conflict in the workplace has always been there and some of us try to avoid such drama, especially when it is just pure childish and ignorant. Other’s just know how to walk away and the majority just feed into it. What everyone should know is how to manage and handle conflict. Escalation of the Topic
During this unit I learned that teambuilding is a great aspect in structuring trust and accountably among individuals. Trust was only established when my team members allowed themselves to listen to each other’s comments/ideas. If we would have stayed our stubborn selves nothing would have been accomplished. Accountability was established when my team members accepted their roles and fulfilled their duties. This caused my team to recognize the power of peer pressure and responsibility we had to take part in positive conflict when teammates were not meeting the proper standards.
