The act of improving someone else's situation in some way, even it it just involves listening, takes the persons own anxieties down a notch or two in importance and therefore they concentrate on the difficulties of others. Many professions where helping other is the main focus will have more than their fair share of people who use this tactic.

In both “A&P” by John Updike and “Gryphon” by Charles Baxter, the main characters come across problems when they are faced with situations that they feel are right, but are left standing alone with their decision. They both struggle against rules, authority figures, and inflexible social systems which all lead them into trouble towards the end. Sammy, in “A&P”, shows how embarrassing it is to confront customers in public when they flout company policy, while Tommy in “Gryphon”, prevails upon his classmates to be loyal to authority figures by projecting the good image of his substitute teacher. Sammy, a cashier working at a local A&P supermarket, struggles against the rules of the supermarket that enforce a specific dress policy

Konstantina 09.12.2013 Category: 1 It’s been said that it’s pretty helpful talking to people but this is not the case when it comes to talking in the office hours of the University. The actual point of talking in the office hours is to become more confident about one’s intention. This meeting frightens many students though and an ironic comment of a professor or the fear of embarrassment or risking a good grade by doing or saying something wrong makes this feeling even worse. It’s usually the students that are nervous because for the professor it has become a routine. The nervousness begins from the minute the students enter the room as they’re unsure whether to shake hands or not, - sand if they do, they’re afraid that their
The employees may feel a certain way about the layoff of the co-workers and also it may effect how they work. Also another thing is the loss of valuable and knowledgeable employees may affect others too. The new hire people will have no one to ask if they do not understand or know how to perform a task asked of them. This can cause serious problems for productivity and for the patients at the clinic. The last disadvantage I think will be a problem to the Dodge Clinic is employees seeking employment elsewhere because they do not feel there job is secure.
In order to more effectively contribute to the organization, I would like to spend some time researching techniques to connect on an emotional level with the team.

Moreover, Al had better help Craig Lindley to overcome the psychological problem for sake of his contribution to the company and to show friendship. Al should fire Craig Lindley for several reasons.
The story has some bad examples, especially if you are a young reader. “Sammy, you don’t want to do this to your Mom and Dad, (A&P, page 298)”. Here is an example of when Sammy quits because he saw the beautiful woman and now he wants to go hang out with them because he is fed up with his store manager. As a young reader, they might get the idea that Sammy did the right thing, while older readers will argue that the story provides teens with bad examples and thus may cause them to think like Sammy when they encounter such situations. A second example I would add is, “But remembering how he made that pretty girl blush makes me so scrunchy inside (A&P, page 298)”.
What works for one salesman may not work for another. Some may like recognition and some may not. There are many different things you need to learn about each salesman before you can effectively manage them, and that takes time. It is also not fair to the salesman to have to keep reporting to a different district manager each time they are replaced. This will cause a lack of consistency in teaching from the management side and discipline of the employee in balancing both clients and management.
The way staff communicate with each other effects communication in the work place for example if a worker had a lack of passion for their job they were moaning all the time, other members of staff might avoid that particular person. There are good communication between staff as physiotherapists will work with a patient and reports back how independent and mobile, if any manual handling equipment must be used. This is effective communication as it allows workers to do their job safely. 1.3 It is important to observe an individual’s reactions when communicating with them as it can help show how they are really feeling, or if they do not understand what you are trying to explain to them. Usually their facial expressions are easy to read and you can tell if they understand.
