Being a part of drill team has helped me with control by helping others in learning routines or chants with taking charge when others do not. I learned that although I am young, I am in control of my own progress, and I am the one who can change situations for better or for worse. The biggest impact my drill team experience has given me, is determination to push myself to achieve. Without the heart or skill to do something there is no progression. This experience describes the dedication I have to go to college because it showed me I am capable of handling the challenges it may offer.
Selected Citations from Poor Richard's Almanack “None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.” and “How few there are who have courage enough to own their Faults, or resolution enough to mend them!” These quotations basically mean that most people don't like to look inside themselves and see their flaws. A well-bred and courageous person sees who they are and acknowledges it without getting discouraged or insecure. The second part means that most people go on with their lives dealing with their flaws and trying to fix them to make themselves a better person. We all know that as humans it is in our nature that we make mistakes and faults but few of us have the guts to acknowledge their faults. These quotes is relevant to me that in every fault or failure I make I don’t have to be defensive about it but accept these mistakes and to use them as stepping stone to improve myself and change for the better.
If properly executed with an actual resister, pulling this lever can positively influence adoption of the initiative by the resister and his or her friends. We highly believe not to do this decision because we tried two times in the first round and received the unsatisfied result that the person confronted as a resister was upset and unconvinced by our discussion. Moreover, we have lost credibility and now some employees are less enthusiastic about the change initiative. Hence we deem that the person who has strict different thought with us is hard to confront, therefore, we did not take this decision in the second
I am the type of person who wants to know everything and be the best at every task I perform, and doing the necessary work to identify the appropriate source of information will make that task just a bit easier. Conclusion I believe that the role of the knowledge worker has changed, thanks mostly to technology. Most people have become so reliant on technology that they have become lazy. But the true knowledge workers do what is needed in search of more knowledge, and those are the real assets to the organization. It has been proven that knowledge workers cannot be effective if they are micromanaged or told how they need to complete their tasks (Hammer, 2004).
However, he scores low in engagement. He tends to alienate his co-workers which can build distrust between them. It is recommended that he take the Communications Skills survey so that the company can help him develop his interpersonal skills to build a more cohesive team. Tim Scott also has high job satisfaction, but tends to act first and think later. It would be beneficial to have him take the What Time of Day am I Most Productive survey to see if his poor decision making is based on his ability to focus.
Question 1. One way that Cliff could take advantage of principles of operant conditioning to modify his staff behaivor is to give them consequences for bad behavior. Some people need to have consequences so that will not try to get away with bad behavior all of the time. Question 2.The use of punishment didn't work well for Cliff's predecessor because he frequently used it and never reinforced or rewarded good behavior. Reinforcement would remain preferable at controlling behavior because it is a presentation of something that is pleasant and rewarding which will produce a more effective outcome.
I felt Kane’s argument was a bit ineffective since he kept focusing more on Jim Getty (his competition) thus making him look like a bad person. It seemed as if Boss Jim Getty had committed some crime, however Kane did not explain what he had done wrong. I do feel that he made those who were classified in the lower-class happy that someone wanted to do something to help them. However, Kane forgot to mention what his promise to help this class of people would entitle. I believe that without mentioning what you would like to do in order to help people out you leave the audience doubting if your promise will live up to it.
If he lets himself get out of control so much that he hates someone, then his inner self and soul breaks down or degrades. This means that overall everyone’s opinion does matter and mean a lot, but how you approach it is what matters most. Quote 2: Success is not really success if you haven’t succeeded past any obstacles to get to that sussessful life. “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” Booker T. Washington was telling his readers how he felt through the voice of this quote. This says to me a lot to myself and teach me a lesson.
Not to mention the unhealthy factors. Stated by Michael Scott a well known writer, he said “Some athletes should just ask themselves one question: Do we really want to harm our bodies and tarnish the image of sports in order to be successful?”. Michael is exactly right because a game is just 60 minutes but injury can be a life time. If you live life for the moment then sports aren’t your thing. Because if you don’t prepare and save your body you are hurting your team and teams are what make
The loved jock is someone who likes to fight first and ask questions later because after the rise of romanticism, you were a coward if you did not fight (Nugent 34-35). The nerd however cannot fight, which forces them to think of alternative solutions to their problems; and “contemplativeness and powerlessness can easily be linked” (Jones 44). Because thinking and logical problem solving is a common trait of the nerd, they are also characterized as someone who is academically able. They are pictured as someone who is pictured as that cold, unemotional machine that I mentioned earlier. Society fails to realize that everyone can be emotional but not everyone can be smart.
