...Chapter 2 What is your self orientation? Before doing this survey I believe I a balanced x and y manager. I try to see the good in every employee and believe people have their own way of doing things. Sometimes you need to handle certain employees different ways to get them to work properly and correctly in a timely manner. After doing the survey I was not very surprised it gave me a score inbetween both x and y of a 22 and 23. I believe that was because I am a very understanding person i try to see the best way in satisfying employees as well as customers. This will show me how to deal with customers and my employees from here on. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 survey was about morals and ethical actions. As a person I believe for every action there is a opposite reaction. With the choices you make you need to ensure that they are morally and ethically right for people and or a company. If you hurt a person with a decision that should not be done. After doing the survey I believe it came out to what I expected. I am a understanding person I try to do the best for other people and the company. Sometimes I will make poor judgement calls but over all as a person and employee I try to think of my actions and make the right decision for both parties. Chapter 4 The chapter 4 assessment is going to cover the globe aspects. I believe strongly in having set guidelines and keeping out future generation in check. Yes we have to be generous and so on but you also need to keep things in...

...ILM LEVEL 5 AWARD 522 Becoming an effective leader Outcome 1 Evaluate own ability to use a range of leadership styles, in different situations and with different types of people, to fulfil the leadership role. During my first 7 months of employment with Ramsay Healthcare as a TSSU lead I have had to adapt and learn very quickly how to use different leadership styles as I have very different staff members with completely different personalities who react completely different when given tasks or instructions. With one member of staff I get results and never have to ask twice, she is always positive when at work and always willing to support me but over time I had found out she was making a lot of mistakes when packing trays. I had to be very careful how I approached her about this because I didn’t want to affect her work ethic or make her think that she wasn’t very good at her job. After observing her for a few days, I quickly identified where the mistakes were being made and decided that a bit of refresher training was the best course of action. I approached the individual and spoke to her about the mistakes she was making, but said not to worry we would work together to rectify the mistakes. We sat down and discussed a plan moving forward and we agreed that I would be working a lot more closely with the individual to assist with additional training. I found that combining leadership styles was probably the most effective way of solving this problem, using advising and...

... Starting practicum, I was very anxious and nervous about my own abilities and competent to meet client’s needs and preferred outcome in therapy. I was very cautious about seeking help and advice from my supervisor and other faculty member’s particularly in deciding which areas of clinical practice to pursue. My fear was that countertransference would develop, and I would be performing a disservice to my clients. I remember hearing one of my clients’ experiences and hearing very much of my own story in those words. I was infused with fear and anxiety that it will trigger a past experience in me that I didn’t know how to deal with in order for me to be a better professional. I spent much of my time this semester thinking whether or not I appeared competent, rather than just genuinely being myself. I needed to be human and give myself a break. However, I realized that I will not know the answer to everything, but it is acceptable to verbalize that to my clients by using such phrases as, “I’m not sure, but let me get that answer for you.” I have discovered that most of my clients do not necessarily want an answer; instead, they are seeking for someone who can listen and validate their feelings of uncertainties. I reached this realization, and it becoming easier for me to build alliance and trust with clients, which is what I have always wanted. To connect with my clients! I have been able to ask myself “what do I ultimately want to gain from my supervisor and colleges professionally...

...during this study period, which will help benefit in attesting the ability of work done within the respected field practiced. My sole purpose of acquiring this degree is to be a Multimedia Designer. A Multimedia Designer’s task is to gestate, organize and design a specific multimedia project and compile it to something fruitful. This includes presentations, websites, animations, multi-faceted print and any other interactive media solutions to meet public information requirements and curriculum, accomplishing associated responsibilities assigned. Reflecting on my understanding with this degree, I do apprehend that I am mirroring my subjective peregrination into the sector of interactive media. The reason I’ve chosen multimedia as a profession is because I’ve always been involved in creative endeavors whether it’s music, poetry, writing or art . Although this was always entitled throughout my life, the pristine eye-opener for multimedia was back in 2008 when I worked as a Guest Host in the Middle East Film Festival, there I was in the office at one instance of time where I was gathering some papers, I came across two individuals with mac computers showcasing a design for the festival. It was some sort of brochure with an intricate detail to it and dazzling color coordination and layout, which really took me by surprise and a jolt of curiosity, was apprehended to me on how it was made and what line of work is pursued to produce such a finesse of articulation. I kindly asked...

...A Student’s Socioautobiography: An Example The first time I ever left my family to be independent was when I came to the U.S. I had family here but everything was still very new to me. I was unprepared, still very dependent, and it was the first time I had ever been away from my family. Thank God I still had someone who was willing to taking care of my tuition and living expenses. Leaving home at eighteen to go out on my own and start my own life, there were many things I wasn’t prepared for. I couldn’t afford to go to college, and even if I could, I really had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life anyway. My decision to go right into the work force was, at the time, a logical one. I figured I could find a job that would pay me well enough that I could afford to have all the things I never had growing up, and one that would enable me to move out of the welfare status I had been raised in. Having been raised during an era when the rhetoric was all about women being equal to men in the workplace, I truly believed that I could do anything a man could do, and deserved to be paid the same for the same work. With this in mind, I found a job in a manufacturing plant where I was, it appeared, the “token” female employee. My fellow employees were all men, and I was placed in the uncomfortable position of having to prove that I not only could do the job, but was also “one of the guys.” Gender differences are more readily apparent in some workplaces than others. While...

...November 9 Part 1 Personal Thinking Styles: Upon my completion of the LSI survey, I have identified my primary and secondary (backup) thinking styles. They are conventional and self-actualizing. My results in the conventional style of thinking have me ranked in the 90th percentile with a raw score of 22. This is my primary thinking style. The conventional thinking style describes individuals who are pretty much set in their ways of doing things. They will tend to have a fixed and unchanging daily routine which they are comfortable with as long as it does not change very much or too often. Conventional thinkers tend to conform to the general rules that are around them, they seldom dispute these rules, and they prefer to follow others orders. A conventional thinker usually does not attract much attention to themselves and will work hard at ‘staying under the radar’ in order to remain in their own comfort zone. I do have many of the qualities of a conventional thinker. So, I can agree with the results from the LSI survey as they characterize me with the conventional thinking style. Having the personality of someone who does not like to change his daily routine and who prides himself with being able to do exactly what is expected both at home and at work are just two of the behaviors that I exhibit within the conventional style of thinking. These behaviors, along with my own sense of not wanting to challenge others opinions, values, or rules allow...

...As professionals, we must be careful not to force our values on clients but guide them toward making their own decisions. I am of Dutch heritage, and it will always be a part of who I am. The values I ascribe primarily to my culture come from how I was raised and the influence of my family members. My values have changed over time due to my own personal life experiences, world views, relationships, and interaction with others. We are all culture-bound to some extent, and it takes an effort to be always aware to monitor our biases so that they do not affect the formation of counseling relationships. In addition, greater differences could exist within the same cultural group than between different cultural groups. I will not only to be sensitive to other cultures, but to my own as well. The biggest challenge I foresee in forming trusting relationships with clients who are culturally different is remembering not to hold my group as the standard by which to determine appropriate behavior in others. Cultural sensitivity is not limited to one group either, but applies to all cultures. Clients and counselors bring a great variety of culturally learned attitudes, values, assumptions, biases, beliefs, and behaviors to the therapeutic relationship. By being ignorant of the values and attitudes of a diverse range of clients, counselors open themselves to criticism and ineffectiveness. Solutions to dealing with the cultural issue in counseling entail rethinking theories and modifying techniques...

...that people should not tell lies and if they do then I would lose trust in that person. Values underpin how we all behave, work and treat others, each person’s values can be very different, one of my values is that every person should be treated fairly, this value stems from my upbringing where as a child in a family of five children, my parents ensured that we were all treated fairly. This follows into my working life where I try to ensure that I treat all of my staff fairly and give each person the opportunity to progress in their career. A value is a principle or standard of behaviour and is a person’s judgement of what is important in life, the importance, worth or usefulness of something. A company may have a set of values that may be different to your own, in time you may accept these values as your own. Our values may be added to over time for instance as you start your working life you may value earning money and progressing in your career, as you have a family you may value family time over career progression. Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs model shows the value of money in turn providing food, warmth and shelter which are out basic needs in life, once we have met our basic needs then we are able to reach our full potential. This model is explored further in section AC 2.1 A persons attitude is influenced by their values and beliefs, in my previous employment I believed that as a female staff member I was...

...Business is boring and disinteresting; that it’s just about figures and money but what those people do not realise is that it is this very subject that provides us with the knowledge needed to manage our everyday life. My interest in Business stems from the fact that I have been brought up in an entrepreneurial family where I have been constantly exposed to discussions varying from the accountancy of an everyday running business to the marketing of daily new products. The advantages of growing up in a family with a self employed business are that you begin to catch onto business traits from a very early age and I believe I have the experience of doing exactly that. By studying Business I would be able to learn what goes on behind the scenes of running a successful business and knowing that the Business industry is a very competitive and driven trade is what excites and motivates me even more into doing this particular course. As I have previously mentioned my interest in Business derives from my upbringing into a family who currently own 4 successful businesses and a number of different properties; therefore I have always been curious as to the work my parents have to put in, in order to make our businesses a success. You could say it is in my blood and I have certainly absorbed the interest and fascination of how business and commerce works. From an early age I have always been keen in how the business world operates among our everyday lives and to understand the complexities...

...My own ethical and moral values, beliefs, attitudes and personal integrity and assessment of my effect on my own and others’ behaviour in the leadership mentoring or executive coaching relationship – critically reviewed. 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...
