However, I am also a person who likes directions and rules to make logical sense. If I am skeptical or unsure as to its logic, I will question and present alternate ideas which is uncharacteristic of a conventional thinking style. The dependent thinking style, for which I also scored in the 97th percentile, is characterized by indecisiveness, feelings of helplessness, preoccupation with pleasing people and passivity. I agree that I am a dependent thinker. I often look to other people’s opinions when trying to make decisions and I often feel that things that happen in my life are beyond my control which leads to feelings of helplessness.
These flaws are usually associated with the fact that they are unable to fulfil the need to gain the answer since they may be biased, however even when these two ways of knowing are put together, they may contradict each other, or do not share the same view on the same exact case, this is what is considered as the conflict. In order to understand and find the answer to the question, the question must be clearly defined, in terms of emotion and reason as well as the idea of the conflict. Emotion is defined as any strong agitation of the feelings actuated by experiencing love, hate, fear, etc., and usually accompanied by certain physiological changes, as increased heartbeat or respiration, and often overt manifestation, as crying or shaking. Simply, emotion is the representation of one's mind when it comes to decision making or confronted with any other serious situation, and it occurs whether the individual consciously or subconsciously aware of it. Such example would be when one feels angered by the fact that the two choices given are not the choices that one desires or when confronted with an insulting joke, one would laugh at the joke, but disgusted or angered by the insult.
They prefer to work in their accustomed ways. When people are confronted with the GGOL, they may think that they will shift from the environment they are habituated to. This thought will result in resistance to change. Thirdly,economic factors also trigger resistance to change. GGOL is ambiguous to most employees and managers at Simmons.
The primary principle of logical thinking is to raise consciousness in an individual of the environment around them. There are various barriers to logical thinking and this could prevent one from thinking critically. Whilst we cannot overcome all of these barriers, raising awareness of the importance of logical thinking can perhaps assist to avoid these barriers to some extent. The unavoidable barriers are our human limitations and thus cannot be completely overcome due to the nature of its context as our understanding of facts, perceptions and memories prevent us from seeing the world with total clarity. The attentional and memory capacity requires us to search for alternative methods such as use of external sources of machines and it restricts our ability to think critically because as human beings we aren’t equipped to function simultaneously.
BARRIERS TO CRITICAL THINKING Opinionated Opinionated means expressing strong beliefs or judgments about something, having or showing strong opinions. I can be very opinionated about things that I feel strongly about. I often form my opinion and then I am not open to hearing other viewpoints. I feel that in critical thinking being open minded and willing to receive outside information is necessary. Listening to other opinions on a subject can broaden your thought process on the subject.
Communication and Overcoming Obstacles Having different communication styles is important. You need to be able to have a different way of communicating in your professional life than you do in your personal life. If you communicate with your professional colleagues, instructors, and classmates the way you do your friends and family they either might not understand you or they might be offended. I find that it is best to be a little reserved in a more professional atmosphere than you would be in your social circles. For example, my friends and I have certain ways of saying things that some people might not understand.
We are so concerned with what we have to say or what we are upset about that we don’t listen to the other persons input. When a problem arises in a relationship you have to solve it together. You can’t try and fix it yourself because it just won’t work. The lack of communication can also lead to other reasons relationships fail, like cheating. Cheating is a symptom of lack of respect and communication.
When I come into work sometimes a lot of stuff is missing or not put away in the right place or just not cleaned properly that is something I would like to change. 2. How do you presently respond (i.e. what do you think, feel, and do in that situation)? When I give myself too much work to do and not slow down I end up stressing myself out because it is hard to finish the task by a certain time cause of having so many jobs going on at the one time.
That leads to misunderstanding as well as lack of appreciation of each other, and then tasks may not be completed as expected. Secondly, there is a situation that a person contributes less while working in a team rather than working individually, which is defined as “social loafing” (Kavita Singh, 2010:251). Consequently, work will be delayed by this social loafer and other members may feel unfair because they have to attempt more to meet deadlines. Thirdly, a team with great minds but poor leadership is also likely results in failure. Simon Oates, leadership expert, indicated four traits of poor leadership which are impatience, aggression, insincerity and incompetence, thus cause a poor performance of a whole team.
supervisor support, or correct information on the job). As to effort-to-performance relationship, efforts of an employee depend on his or her individual differences. In Porter-Lawler model, the concept that individuals’ abilities and role perceptions moderate the relationship between effort and performance is emphasized. Employees are sometimes asked to do things for which they do not have the appropriate skills. When that is the case, they will be less motivated to try hard, because they already believe they will not be able to accomplish the required task.
