The biggest affect that it has on the group is slowing down the amount of work that was getting completed. If I have to repeat myself or wait longer than excepted because the other team members are getting upset with me, I cannot reach the full potential for that day. The other team members are starting to notice that I do not mean to be disrespectful, I just want to get the job done a efficiently as possible. The other
Communication Theory Barbara J. Walker HCS/320 7/18/2011 Kristin Thrun INTRODUCTION When working in teams sometimes it can be hard especially when you have one person that doesn’t want to cooperate. It also can be a lot of fun when you get the right kind of people. You may find some people that want to take charge and do all the work instead of working with a team. Then you have the ones that are laid back and don’t care as long as they are working. I enjoy working with a team because you get to meet new people while you are working and it makes the time go by fast.
I think this was the case in my workplace, due to naivety and lack of confidence. My deputy manager had very differing styles of work, so this caused a lot of conflict between ourselves, then amongst the team. She was very loud and blunt, to the point of being slightly aggressive and overbearing. I am much quieter, calmer, and more tolerant. Different personalities is a big factor in workplace conflict.
Things have to make sense in my own mind before I make a decision. Keirsey also states, “In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful -1- sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.” I agree with
This is extremely important as it relates to competitive advantage and non public information. Another example is inappropriate or offensive behavior. Management does not want the names of those offended being released for fear of backlash, and or other employees attempting to torture or harass those individuals. From an employee perspective, it is often difficult to grasp being dismissed from a job without a reason being provided. Most of the time employees are left wondering what happened.
There are many leadership styles that I use authoritarian, delegate, companionable and synergistic. Authoritarian leaders provide clear expectations for what needs to be done, when it should be done, and how it should be done. They make decisions independently with little or no input. The supervisor checks on their employees frequently because they cannot be trusted to fulfill their task it is believed that this style developed from the belief that employees require continuous attention because they are undependable or immature.

We all have different skill sets & are equipped to handle certain situations powerfully, however nobody possesses the skill set to be able to powerfully address every situation that arises. As a manager there are ways & means of monitoring & controlling stress levels within your team of staff. Whether it be as simple as engaging in conversation with staff about topics other than work. You may be just the right person who asks the right question at the right time without even meaning too, enabling that person to share pressures & challenges they are facing away from work, but are in fact lingering in the background & causing anxiety, effecting how that person is able to focus on tasks at work & even how that person is able to relate to others around them. Other approaches such as team building activities & social activities can also be used to introduce joy & happiness & even a sense of achievement into people’s lives.
For example, some people that have public work may always have arguments with citizens or colleagues without a clear reason. Besides, sometimes authorities do not face the problems or necessities some workers have. - GOOD To round off, violence in the workplace is a problem that every day develops without fear every day. The society the community live in and the dissatisfaction some people may have with their job are some factors involved. Unfortunately, is seems to have no end, even though human beings should try to get on well with the world they live in.
When people purchase one of these machines they usually are on it and depend on it all the time. Due to the lack of self-motivation through machines we could lose our common courtesy. In the workplace, machines have effected jobs dramatically. They can perform at low-skill repetitive jobs and at high-speed precise jobs. They mostly are better than humans because they are more precise within their work and they are less likely to produce an error.
Did I enjoy supervising/managing people? At that time – no, I did not! I did not get any formal or on the job training which would enable me to “manage” effectively, and I found myself at times lost as to the mix of characters and the needs of individuals, when all I could think about at the time, was getting the job done and meeting targets and expectations. I have always considered myself to be a kind and considerate and nurturing sort of person – what my role then did, was prove to me that managing people, to get the best out of them, was in its self both challenging and exhausting! Hence now why I embrace and welcome the use of self-assessment and 360 feedback.
