Active participation is a way of working that recognises an individual’s right to participate in the activities and relationships of everyday life as independently as possible. The individual is regarded as an active partner in their own care or support, rather than a passive recipient. So if the individual participates actively in their daily activities, then the risk of abuse is low. * Managing risk - is about identifying the risks and putting things in place to reduce the risks and make the situation safer, for example, making sure an individual without capacity is chaperoned if they wish to go on a date with another person to ensure the individual is not taken advantage of. Managing risk is a way of working that supports individuals to exercise choices and rights, recognising the balance between managing and enabling independence, choice and control.
Use of slang terms is not a wise idea, as what is acceptable in generation / culture could be offensive to the next.. We must make sure we are saying exactly what we mean to and clearly enough that so that others are going to hear exactly what the manager / supervisor is trying to say. According to Dr. William F. Kumuyi, some signs of a bad listener are interruptions, inpatients, in attention, bias, and shutting down during communications (Kumuyi, 2008). These examples of being a bad listening skills help keep show the manager / supervisor attuned to how exactly they might be listening or appear to the employee as listening. One can not go through life thinking that it is ok to interrupt or be impatient, for this will tend to make others think you are not listening at all. Communication is a highly important tool in the workforce.
There are ways to fight this huge problem of indifference and it can be stopped. Indifference is a very dangerous problem that leads to very dangerous situations. Indifference is when people know of horrible events happening, but choose to stay silent or not take action. If something terrible is happening and people do not try to stop it, it will continue to happen. Until people choose to stop indifference and start caring about others in the world, theses events will not stop.
If these assumptions are unchecked or inappropriate, we will make poor decisions and wrong judgments. In our personal relationships we use critical thinking to keep our lines of communications open thereby allowing us to use lessons learned to avoid repeating the same mistakes. In the workplace we avoid stagnation and are willing to challenge the current thinking, which may be out of date and is no longer relevant to our current work philosophy. Paul Richard (2008), an authority on critical thinking, characterizes a good critical thinker in terms of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and habitual ways of behaving, including the following characteristics. The critical thinker: • uses evidence skillfully and impartially • organizes thoughts and articulates them concisely and coherently • distinguishes between logically valid and invalid inferences • suspends judgment in the absence of sufficient evidence to support a decision • understands the difference between reasoning and rationalizing • attempts to anticipate the probable consequences of alternative actions • understands the idea of degrees of belief • sees similarities and analogies that are not superficially
When a dilemma arises, my responsibility is to support individuals or their families to make informed choices. Even if I disagree with their decision, I can only give advice but can not force them. If an individual is willing to do something that involves some risk, I have to support people to make informed choices. Totally avoiding risks would limit individual’s choices and opportunities and it can lead to dependency and depression. I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities.
The supervisee is made aware that their information it confidential other than what may be used for training or improvement purposes only and that their name and identity will be classified and confidential. Although the manager encourages free speech and airing of views, we would like everyone to keep it professional and not use it as a gossip moment, or to plot and plan against other staff members or management. It has a purpose and that is to improve the supervisee and air their issues or problems as long as they know their boundaries which may be
Keeping my emotions in check will help me to think clearly and guide constructive communication; trying to dominate the resolution process will only frustrate the opposition. I will constructively listen to the thoughts and ideas of others and consider them honestly instead of trying to have my own way all of the time. My goal is to defeat my attitude of being a perfectionist. The key is being able to allow myself to make and except the mistakes of others. I do not have to be the best at everything.
336). It is up to the leader of a virtual team to choose the correct communication medium or combination of communication mediums to quickly and effectively resolve issues that are causing low morale amongst the team members. The team has been successful but James Dion is sowing disharmony by complaining about work related issues and issues that are not related to work. The manager should send James an email and let him know that he is doing an amazing job on team projects. He must find out what is going on and ask him why he is complaining about work related issues and issues not related to work.
You can’t quite believe how much time is wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do not clash with yours).
That is what’s called effective conflict resolution. “If you can find something that everyone agrees on, something’s wrong.”-Mo Udall. This statement means that if there were something that everyone has no disagreements towards, then there is a problem because there’s always going to be a small conflict to keep natural daily balance in life. Now, the effective conflict resolution is simply to avoid conflicting with others when others want to conflict. Example, walking away is braver than mouthing off.
