Although at times these labels may be accurate, many of us determine early in an interaction or presentation that we don’t understand the subject, don’t like the person, or find lit-tle of interest or importance in the message. We then tune out the speaker and spend our time thinking about other matters. By not listening to the message, we have no way to assess accurately the value of what we might have heard. Barrier Two: Emotionally Resisting Messages. Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects.
SMART goals When establishing our goals we can use the SMART acronym to identify the specific information we will need for the planning stage. S = SPECIFIC Goals need to be something specific in order for us to be able to visualise them. Often we set goals that are so loose, it's nearly impossible to judge whether we achieve them or not. For example, a statement like "I will lose weight" is too vague. How will you know if and when you've reached your goal?
A lot of them speak negatively about Kim, I think | |that part of this is because she is from another culture and they do not like that change. It also seems that specifically David was being | |self-centered on this particular day. He placed blame on Kim even though it could easily have been his own fault for not being clear with his | |instructions. He also clearly did not realize, or care that Kim had been working hard all day to finish many projects and had forgone her own | |breaks to help everyone else. Another reason why I think they resemble Theory X is because everyone brings their requests to Kim, they have little| |desire to try to do things on their own and take everything to someone else to be done.
Employees often see change as threatening. What are some of the sources of resistance to change, and what can you as a manager do to overcome that resistance?

I think most people prefer stability and tend to avoid situations that increase stress levels or put themselves at risk. People resist change for several reasons.
Many customers are shopping at lower priced stores because the economy is not allowing them to spend extra money. At these lower priced stores there are lower quality products. The consumer then has to make the decision on whether or not to spend the extra money to purchase the higher quality product with the higher price or the lower quality product with the lower price. Going along these lines, some customers will pay any price to have the name brand that they like. Many different stores offer the same name brand and you have to make sure your store offers the lowest price.
My reasoning is because most don’t understand me, and they take my demeanor as cockiness. Cockiness can turn people off instantly. There is a saying that first impression is a lasting impression. Communication is vital and needed to get things accomplished. Lack of communications means lack of progression.
One of my weaknesses is that I tend to over analyze/stress too much. This has been in my nature since I was a child. This fear has always held me back in speaking in front of an audience whether it is two or twenty. I fear has always been that I do not want to embarrass myself and seem like a failure in front of my peers. Another weakness I have as a public speaker is that I tend to stumble and skip sentences.
Decision criteria are variables or important characteristics that are necessary when I make my decision. It would enable me to evaluate the alternatives I have at the moment. During this process, I should eliminate any fixed variables which are not constructive for me to establish the criteria for the process. Implicit criteria which are immeasurable should be able to compare among one another. Explicit measurable criteria should be within the scope which I am trying to solve.
He mentioned traders not being able to hold on to their goods so they were able to negotiate better prices. Instead, they had to take whatever little money they could get because of their need to survive. This then would result in the wealthy traders having the upper hand and controlling the markets (162). A contemporary example of this would be my EBay business. I purchase coveted limited-edition items and post my listings until the other EBay sellers have ran out of stock.
