Learning Team Reflection

Learning Team Reflection

One of the most influential things our team learned the last two weeks is what type of people we are and how we are motivated intrinsic and extrinsic people.

Next we learned about employee behaviors and characteristics. Understanding how employee behaviors affect employee's job performance. Learning the different techniques and terms used, one must be familiar with this process

Also in the last two weeks we learned about motivation in the workplace and the different terms used in communication. This consists of being familiar with communication strategies in the workplace, experience them, and evaluate them as they occur. Our team discovered that learning to be a good communicator could be a fun and challenging process when assessing your own abilities and that of others

We have discovered a top-level manager is one that should plan, organize, lead and control. Managers get things done through other people. They make decisions, allocate resources, and direct the activities of others to attain goals. Managers do their work in an organization, which is a consciously coordinated social unit, composed of two or more people that functions on a relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or set of goals.

These two weeks exposed us to several important concepts such as the concept of organizational behavior, which is the study of individuals and their behavior in a work place setting we also gain knowledge on interpersonal skill concepts. We also reviewed diversity and how it affects individual behavior, in diversity we can find two levels: surface and deep level and by combining the information from both a manager can have a picture of how individuals may behave or react to a specific situation.

Finally in the previous weeks we saw that independent and dependent variable work together to impact how employees behave in the workplace. Our team never realized how much ones personal life can affect their performance in the workplace, as well as how much the workplace can affect your personal life. Personality types can have both a negative and positive effect on an organization. The following weeks made us better as individuals on how to manage our personalities as well as others.
