...There are four components to interpersonal effectiveness, which are competence, emotional intelligence, ethics, and mindfulness. Competence is the ability to accomplish set goals. In order to feel as if one is competent, I believe motivation is a huge factor that can cause a decrease in competence. At this point in my life, I am definitely questioning my competence. I feel a complete lack of effectiveness and my motivation does tend to waiver according to my constantly changing moods (Bipolar Disorder). I know that I can accomplish the things that I put my mind to, however my contingency perspectives are lacking. Maintaining focus and motivation have become daily struggles for me. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand my feelings, having empathy for others, and being able to regulate my emotions. I believe that I do maintain emotional intelligence, however my partner believes my emotions are based too much on how others are feeling in our home and many times I am wrong in interpreting others' feelings. For example, when my partner is quiet, many times I may think he is mad or that I have angered him and so therefore I become anxious. I find that I do at times lack self control when it comes to my moods, behavior, and reactions to others. I have implemented DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help with this. I have to be much more cognizant of my emotions and how my behavior is affected. Ethics are standards or moral choices we make. I live...

...behaviors by leaders and educators in their field. He also talks about the importance of neuroscience and how integrating it with business can help make individuals more well rounded and mindful. According to the “Five Traditional Criteria” in the Essential Guide to Critical Reading and Writing, this article does a good job in exhibiting accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage. Boyatzis has his PhD from Harvard University in Social Psychology and has been an active theorist in the field for over 40 years (Richard Boyatzis, Ph.D.). Because of his credentials and popularity in the field, I would consider this article to have strong authority. Coverage is also exhibited since Boyatzis provides references to other credible resources, and is concise about the topic he is covering (Walsh, Pezalla, & Marshall, 2014). Boyatzis’s thesis in the article is that by crossing disciplines, such as neuroscience and business management, we can “expand our theories and find new directions for out scholarly work” (Boyatzis, 2014, p. 303). From his thesis, I would consider the paper to be objective by also being opinionated in an appropriate, professional manner. The resources cited in the paper are all current; the oldest reference was from 2007, which is five years within the published date of this paper. However, due to the briefness of the article, there were only nine cited references. Also, since this article takes on a more opinionated approach, it doesn’t include more than just...

...Why Should Anyone Be Led By You The text reads on why should anyone be led by you, and it also provides some tips on this subject. Some of the tips that the text provides are revealing your weaknesses, becoming a sensor, daring to be different, and practicing tough empathy. The tips provided make a lot sense; nobody wants to work with a great leader that doesn’t appear to need help; don’t expose a weakness that others see as fatal rather, choose a tangential weakness instead. Secondly, improve your ability to collect and interpret subtle interpersonal cues, detecting what’s going on without others’ spelling it out; by validating them with a trusted advisor or inner-team member. Also, great leaders empathize fiercely with their followers and care intensely about their people’s work. Capitalizing on what’s unique about yourself lets you signal your separateness as a leader, and motivates others to perform better. Great leaders aspire their followers to push themselves more. Distinguish yourself through qualities like imagination, expertise, and adventure-someness. I was once a leader at a company called GTM plastics, and I did a horrible job. However, after my leadership role with the company, I realized so many mistakes that I made. Instead of doing what an effective leader does, I engaged myself with the company style of leadership, which did not turn out well for me. I realized that the success of the company has nothing to do with my selfish ways, but the team effort and...

...Introduction It is quite usual to forget about many aspects of non-verbal communication when hearing this notion. In fact, what comes to mind immediately are body gestures or facial expressions. However, there are many more aspects. For this reason, chapter two begins with a definition of non-verbal communication and chapter three illustrates these definitions with examples. They also show the importance of non-verbal communication in daily life. In the following paper, the task of the interpreter is analysed in two steps: first, the transfer of a message from the speaker to the interpreter and secondly, the transfer of this message from the interpreter to the audience. The first step is discussed in chapter four, which deals with certain neuroscientific aspects of the process of interpreting non-verbal communication. It is also about the importance of face-to-face situations and shared culture with respect to interpreting non-verbal communication. Furthermore it is mentioned, which role emotional intelligence plays in the understanding process for non-verbal communication. Finally, chapter five talks, with reference to the examples in chapter three, about the difficulties of non-verbal communication for the interpreter. Chapter five describes what possibilities the interpreter is given to reproduce non-verbal communication. Sign-language, one form of non-verbal communication, is not discussed in this essay. In fact, this is a language in itself. Even if body gestures...

Within the Myers-Briggs psychometric analysis I fit the personality type is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, Judging (ISFJ). The fact that this is not a common personality type in the Service is perhaps an indicator of the amount of learned behaviour I have accumulated in my 19 years as a manager For example I am often perceived as an extrovert because others perceive me as confident and able to speak in public forums, express my opinions etc. In truth I find such activity exhausting and my energies are very much driven from within – at times when I can be reflective and free from large numbers of people. I like working with people but I do not often feel energised as a result of it and prefer to spend time out of work either alone or with those closest to me. In my first role as a manager grade I was required to deliver presentations top various audiences including 2 international conferences, where my presentation was simultaneously interpreted into several other languages. Initially such events caused real physical distress in the moments leading up to them, such as weakness/shaking in leg muscles and an inability to breathe properly when I began to speak. It was only through perseverance and the realisation that no-one else noticed, that I was gradually...

...Regulatory Behavior Paper PSY/340 2/9/2015 Tiffany Tibbs Regulatory Behavior Paper Temperature is very important in many ways and more than one and is very vital to human and animal lives. As humans we don’t hibernate but, animals do and it is amazing how smart they are that they literally will tuck away for spring and some for winter. Researchers tend to think it’s because certain animals are mating but, in actuality it’s just too cold for them. Even as I look out my window and see the smaller birds who I feed throughout the year, peaking above my ledge right outside my window peeking for food, they do not want to come out at all. The research team hypothesized that there was a minimum weight threshold below which the birds have been limited yet are needed to test the validity of this interesting hypothesis. For example, and in stark contrast to behavioral studies. Hypothesis on what defines the cognitive rift between humans and animals. He identifies four key differences in human thought that make it unique. Animals, for example, have "laser beam" intelligence, in which a specific solution is used to solve a specific problem. But these solutions cannot be applied to new situations or to solve different kinds of problem. In contrast, humans have "floodlight" cognition, allowing us to use thought processes in new ways and to apply the solution of one problem to another situation Their behavior is almost survival and unlike ducks and larger bird like wild turkey they...
