OB Exercise on Self Monitoring * Are you happy with the way you present yourself to other? Explain why?
Ans: Working in an organization in balance way between politics and ethics is hard enough to maintain self confidence. However I am happy with my performance and the way I present myself to others. Because what I want within an organization is recognition and position. I have got both of these things because of my attitude, skills and the way I deal with others including top level management. The response I get from them is also very positive and put more enthusiasm to discuss on things that has to be accomplished and clear. So, in overall, I have very good relationship with all the members of the organizations till date. So I’m totally happy with the way I present myself to other

* Why are the political and ethical implications of your response to Q.No. 8, 9 and 10?
Ans: Regarding Q.No. 8, feeling of awkward moments in public come to everyone but one should know how to recover and move beyond such moments that makes the difference between wanting to sink into the floorboards or simply brushing it off as a passing glitch. In my case too, it happen frequently but I use take it as an opportunity to boom the situation in my favor, at least for myself. In such situation I usually gather confidence from my past experience and try to open myself to make others know what common interests could be among us at least during that condition. Ethically, it could be challenging, but I always try to see possibilities on taking advantage to be first mover. It really makes me feel easy to be among them. In regard to Q.No.9, most of us may not lie and always try to be accurate. But, for the consequences of lying in favor for right end, one should make a lie. It might create trouble for short period of time, but in the long run, only the satisfaction and happiness hover around his or her face. So we should dare for everything in control if it’s fruitful for right end. In an organization too, one should analyze the situation and build up the ways to move on by looking back through points that are out of comfort zone.

In regard of Q. No. 10, one thing I’d like to make a note here is that a wrong clock gives correct time twice a day. then why should we be negative all the time for those who we don’t like? Politically also, it could even be hazardous by treating someone badly who is against us. And ethically too, deceiving someone by being friendly can make change in a second. So it’s always better to be positive, optimistic and feel happy to create harmony and cohesiveness. In an organization too, deceiving in friendly manner creates some level of negotiation/agreements that motivates for higher organizational commitment and performance and higher work effectiveness. That’s how ethically it also sounds good for everyone in a group.

* Does your score surprise you on any way?
Yes of course it surprised me in the way that it truly reflected my level of self monitoring what I am and I believe.
