como motivar a los demas

I believe that motivation is one of the main components any one needs to move forward. In my opinion without motivation just about all of our dreams wouldn’t be anything but a simple dream. Motivation drives our mind and body to do our best to turn our dreams into reality. Motivation can come from within but it can very well come from others trying to motivate us, our souls are not able to self motivate every day. On those days in which we lack motivation, it’s nice to receive motivation from others whether it’s in school, work, college, or with what life throws at us. Although on the other hand, sometimes we have to be the ones that have to motivates others. If we want to be leaders we need have the ability to motivate others even we ourselves lack motivation.

In the current job I hold, motivation is a quality that I must possess to interact with my trainees. I have to take individuals and trained to become specialist in a product which is quite hard to master, and they have to do so in only four weeks. This can bring a lot of pressure on employees trying to master the product, and has sometimes leaded them to quite the job. Therefore I have to make sure to do a fine job, trying to motivate them to push the limits while at the same time make them confident that will succeed within the four weeks of real training. There are many different methods used to motivate the associate, anywhere from raffles to pep talks to help motivate individuals.

Any job site without motivation can become a stressful environment for the employees and well as the employers. If I start to analyze what my job would be without motivation, the outcome would not be what it is today. During the last month the line of business had a lot work coming and it needed a bugger workforce to successfully take care of all the customers expected. Therefore they started to offer an unlimited availability for employees to do overtime. Since the respond from the employees was quite well, the line of business decided to give every employee who recorded overtime hours raffle tickets. They were offering TV’s, DVD’s, soccer balls, and a vacation package. As a result more employees were enjoying doing overtime hours to increase their odds to win the prizes. Although I logged a few hours of overtime I still didn’t win anything.

Coaching is an extremely important component to teach others how to do a task not only as good as the teacher but hopefully better so that humanity can advance. The proper coaching can pay great dividends when it’s done properly but most important with patience. A good coach must possess a quality that allows them to effectively coach others, some of those qualities are: listen carefully, pay attention to detail, confidence, caring for others, do not compete and show enthusiasm for accomplishments of others. Those characteristics put together will also help the coach deal with many types’ personalities which eventually will need coach.

What would we do if our employer did not invest any time in motivating the employee and on top of that he/she did not have good qualities as a coach?

HABILIDADES PARA LLEGAR A SER UN BUEN LIDER

Leadership is a crucial component of any job no matter what it is there’s always a need for it.  A leader must have the qualities mentioned on the chapter; at least most of them while the rest can be improve with time. I’m one of those that believes that not everyone can be leader, although we can develop the qualities in a leader I don’t think that one can be made if that individual does the not have the personality traits required. A leader must a have the availability to inspire, provide support and most important deal with different types of personalities.

Being a leader is not easy by any means, it’s crucial that a leader poses the arsenal of qualities to successfully carry personnel out. There are nine crucial characteristics a leader must pose, but in my opinion some are more important than others because in my team at work we focus on certain traits for our manager to have. We look for confidence, enthusiasm, encouragement, sense of humor and trust. Our manager is our direct leader and we have to make sure he can help us out whenever a conflict presents or we have to get guidance from him. Sometimes the whole team gets stressed out or we just have our head down. In these situations is when those characteristics come into play, thankfully most of the time he has been able to turn our negatives though into positive thoughts.

There are several leaders I have worked with, and most of them have made a positive impact on my professional career. I admired my current Unit manager, I believe he has all of the qualities the book mentions although a few a more well develop than others. He possesses a great sense of humor, self confidence, intelligence, passion, enthusiasm and most important a great deal of knowledge about the job. An important he has is that his social skills are well develop, I personally have the confidence to approach him at any time, and he will always pay attention and work with no matter what’s brought to him. I have been a leader in every job I’ve had, as result I believe I have the potential to be a great leader whenever my name gets called up. I do admit I also have my fair share of qualities to work on, but nothing that can’t be develop.

I always look for the good and bad qualities a manager has, in fact I’m sort of a leader with in my team. I have gained the trust of my teammates; therefore when they have a problem and my manager is not there or they simply don’t feel comfortable with something that my manager is not doing they approached me to give me feedback. I take mental notes about what they tell me, because I can the times my manager is gone I’m the one who has to take on the role. Doing so helped a lot for the last three months in which we had a manager sent to a different department, and we had to wait of manager to go through the training phase of the job. I was able to get good feedback from team when they were asked about my performance. I was also given feedback on different aspects of my leadership which I had to improve on, which I go to work on them right away. 

SOLUCION DE CONFLICTOS CON ASERTIVIDAD

In every job eventually conflict takes place, it’s inevitable that it won’t take place even if we try not to create it. No one wants to have to deal with conflict in a place where we spent the majority of our time.  Therefore we need to aware of how to deal and react properly when conflict appears at our job, whether it’s with co-workers or even our superiors. There are different types of conflict we can come up across, such as:  interpersonal, competition, conflict between functions, request made by employees, and types of personalities. The importance of being well educated on how to deal with different conflicts can pay dividends to any employee. Doing so will help that individual succeed and stand out above the rest, for the ability to get along well with just about everything.

In my current job I’ve notice that we do have all if not more of the conflicts previously mentioned. Although there’s one conflict that stand above the rest, competition is a crucial component of what we do. My peers and I are aware that whichever can obtain the best metrics at the end of each month and year will have the best odds to not only get a pretty raised on their pay but also will have chance to grow within the company. I have been blessed while at the same time worked very hard and beat my competition to the top. While doing so there were obstacles, that needed to cleared. I used previous job experience to overcome those obstacles, but one important trait about me during that process was the fact that I was never selfish with my knowledge or to help others.

I was aware that I was sharing information and tips as to how to do a job better, that could potentially make others competing with me at the top knowledgeable and put it into practice. Although I was sharing information I was also crating bonds with others, trying to avoid conflict of interest among ourselves. Thankfully I played my cards that way I was supposed to and it paid off. I was choose for the two positions which I applied for, while managing conflict the way I supposed, but there were some areas of opportunity for myself which have worked on ever since.

Pregunta:

Al ir a realizar una gestión en otro servicio encuentra a un compañero irritado y tenso. La cosa no se debe a su presencia sino que ya se encontraba en este estado, usted le dice:

First of all it’s important to identify why the co-worker is upset. Once we have recognized the he actually tense and upset with some else on their mind we have to be careful to not say anything that might trigger them to go off. What I have done in those situations is asked if there’s anything I could do or if they want to talk about it. If the person does not want to share what’s bothering them, then I go ahead and cautiously tell them whatever I need to. If everything goes well after words I may offer some encouraging words depending on how have the conversation went.

Although no one wants to experience conflict, we all know that eventually we’ll have to deal with it. When we have to experience conflict to have to think with a settle mind and do our best to turn the negatives to positives. We have to put out thoughts together and choose them wisely, as a result we would be working on turning them into positives. Instead of focusing on the problem, it’s more important to focus and come up with a solution. I believe that in our costarican culture we focus too much on the problem but less on the solutions. Think where we could be if we were to focus more on solutions than the conflicts? 

Relaciones Interculturales y diversidad

If there’s one statement which is true in our society, it’s the one that says no one is alike. We are all different from each other, as result of that we have learned how to interact with others. In today’s society there are individuals with disabilities and different sexual orientation. There are also people with different cultural backgrounds, which leads individuals to interpret or do perform task differently from each other. Our education on cultural background as well as learning how to interact with others with disabilities and sexual orientation is very crucial. In our job we spend many hours a week, what would be better than getting alone with our peers and work with them as normal individuals.

As individuals we have to be careful whenever we are new somewhere or just met someone. As previously mentioned not everyone is alike in many different aspects. It could be our religious believes, cultural back ground, sexual orientation, or disabilities. For these types of situations we have to proceed with caution to make sure that say and act correctly according to our society’s norms. Recognizing and understanding basic culture differences, can lead to successful interactions among individuals who may be different from each other.

In my job I don’t have to interact with co-workers who have any noticeable physical impairment. In fact, I have never worked with anyone with disabilities.  Even though I don’t work with one with disabilities, I have noticed that my job is well equipped to host or have any work there with special physical needs. If I had to work with anyone who might have any disabilities I would treat them just as I would with someone with no disabilities. I’m quite sure they don’t like to be treated differently from anybody else, and we have to respect that. The reason why I’m sure that we get along just fine with someone of has those characteristics, is because I’ve done it before with peers in school or in case with a neighbor I used to have.

On the other hand I have worked and currently do with co-workers who are homosexual. In our job we see them and treat them just as everybody else in the company. In fact sexual orientation is not something we give that much importance to. Our employer looks for a well done job not caring what any ones sexual orientation is. I have learned to get along just fine with my co-workers who are homosexual, as long as everyone gets their assigned task completed correctly. I t does not matter what their sexual orientation is. They are normal people just everybody else whether or not we agreed with their decisions, we have to respect them for being human beings.

Therefore we have to be aware of the people around us and understand we might have to interact with individuals who may be different than us in different aspects. Whether that difference is a cultural or a physical disability, we have cope with that to have successful interpersonal relations in our jobs. Just think about, what if one day we are ask to go work in a foreign country by our employer. We would the one who is different from the other, and I’m pretty sure we would like to be treated nicely and professional as well.
