Managers From the PastThing of managers/leaders/coaches you’ve
had in the past:What made them exceptionally good?
Exceptionally bad?What made you want to work for them?What qualities of theirs would you like to
emulate? To avoid?
Learning and Personal ImprovementPersonal Effectiveness: The foundation of
great management
Most fundamental aspect of personal competence is to know yourself and to have a clear understanding of how you learn new skills and motivate yourself to improve your capability
6
Myths of Personal EffectivenessLearning comes with age and experienceWe know ourselvesGrowth opportunities lie solely in our
weaknessesIt’s not me, it’s themThe best managers are hyper-organized and
workaholics
7
Learning How to LearnBandura’s social learning theory – learning of
any new behavior is the result of three main factors :
Perception: a person’s mental processes such as motivation, attention, self-regulation and self-efficacy
Behavior: person’s response or actionEnvironment: the physical and social
environment surrounding an individual
8
Social Learning TheoryP
B E
Mutual influence is referred to as reciprocal determinism
Most learning is done through observation and modeling of the behaviors of others
• Perception (P)
• Behaviour (B)
• Environment (E)
9
Social Learning Theory• What are practical implications of Social
Learning Theory?
• The “Knowing Doing” Gap• Importance of correct role models
10
Skill Building ActivityWrite your name 20 times with your
dominant handNow write your name 20 times with your
non-dominant handHow did you do?Why is it difficult….you know how to write your
name!
11
Four Critical Components Attention:
First challenge of learning is to focus Find right models Isolate as specifically as possible the behaviors you
hope to learn
RetentionMust be able to understand and remember
what you have observed Relate to theory or framework to understand why
12
Four Critical Components Reproduction:
Importance of practice or actual demonstration of a skill Cannot learn many things by just observing or
reading (i.e. riding a bike, driving) Have to translate the images or descriptions into
actual behavior
Motivation:Why are you putting in the effort?
i.e. past or promised reinforcements, vicarious reinforcement, even punishment
13
A Model of Self-ManagementPersonal change is not a discrete, one time
event but an ongoing process with multiple influences and possibly an infinite time periodHence the “Next Steps” portion of SAP #2
Hope vs. action
Need to successfully manage self to be able to manage others
14
A Model of Self-Management1. Self-Observation/Exploration
Important first step Determine current state – thermostat analogy When/why/under what circumstances do you
currently engage in certain behaviours? What works and what deters your desired behaviour?
Learn from failures and mistakes!
15
A Model of Self-Management2. Self Set Improvement Goals work because:
In committing to a goal, a person devotes attention toward goal-relevant activities
Goals energize people and affect persistence Give clear end to work towards
Goals motivate people to use their knowledge to help them attain the goal
Make goals known to others to increase commitment
16
A Model of Self-ManagementWhen Setting Goals:
What does desired behaviour or outcome look like?Look to role-modelsSet LT objectives with ST goals along the way
Goals Should Be SMART:SpecificMeasurableAttainableRelevantTime-bound
17
Example: New Year’s Resolution“I want to get in shape”Is this goal SMART?
SpecificMeasureableAttainableRelevantTime-bound
How would you re-phrase it?
18
A Model of Self-Management3. Management of Cues
Modify your environment Reminders and attention focusers
4. Positive Self-Talk and Rehearsal Practice new behaviour under expected
conditions Create positive/confident frame of mind
5. Self-Reward and Punishment Reward small goals/milestones along the way to
overall goal Rewards work better than punishment – why?
19
Putting It All into Practice1. Know where you are currently2. Set SMART goals for your change3. Arrange your world so it focuses your
attention and reminds you of your improvement plan and goals
4. Stay positive and rehearse the desired behaviors at every opportunity
5. Create your own rewards for accomplishing your targets
20
Skill Building ActivityIndividually set a GPA goal for this
semester:Consider courses, prior grades, time
constraintsCreate 2 goals that are SMART:
SpecificMeasureableAttainableRelevantTime-bound
Individual Differences and Their ImportanceAbility : what a person is capable of doing
Personality: represents the pattern of relatively enduring ways in which a person thinks, acts, and behaves Can include values, motives
What influences behaviour more: personality or environment?
22
How Do I Think Critically and Analytically?Cognitive ability: capacity to learn and
process cognitive information such as reading, comprehension, mathematical patterns and spatial patternsExamples of tests?
GMA is positively correlated with job performance across a variety of contexts
23
How Well Do I Understand and Use Emotion?Emotional intelligence : refers to the ability
to accurately identify emotions (in self and others) as well as understand and manage those emotions separatelyCan be trained
Positively correlated with :Perceptions of leadershipCoping with stressJob performance
24
Key Aspects of Emotional IntelligenceBe able to accurately identify and express yours and
others feelings
Get in the right moodPositive moods related to productivity, relationships
Predict the emotional futureRecognize your emotional state so can deal with it in the
future
Do it with feelingRecognize how your actions affect others
25
Cultural IntelligenceCultural intelligence: represents a person’s
capability to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity
What jobs would require high CQ?
26
Cultural Intelligence: 4 Sub SkillsCQ-Strategy: how a person interprets and understands
intercultural experiences
CQ-Knowledge: person’s understanding of how cultures are similar and different
CQ-Motivation: person’s interest in experiencing other cultures and interacting with people from different cultures
CQ-Behavior: person’s capability to modify their own verbal and nonverbal behavior so it is appropriate for different cultures
27
What Are My Dominant Personality Traits?Big Five Dimensions1. Extraversion2. Emotional stability3. Agreeableness4. Conscientiousness5. Openness to experience
28
Personality as a PredictorConscientiousness (reliable, dependable)
r = .23
Extroversion (outgoing, friendly) r = .10 - .26
Emotional Stability (anxious, tense) r = .07
Agreeableness (team player, works well with others) r = .06
Openness to Experience (inquisitive)r = 0 (performance)r = .25 (training proficiency)
Seems to be context-dependent
What Are My Personality Preferences?People’s behavior is rarely random but
reflects a stable pattern of personal preferencesCan act against these preferences but may
require more energy, focus, effort
Large percentages of people in certain occupations tend to share similar preferencesNo direct link to job performance
30
What Are My Personality Preferences?Four Major Preference Areas1. Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
Preferred direction of energy and attention
2. Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) Preferred method of taking in or seeking
information
3. Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) Preferred method of making decisions
4. Judgment (J) or Perception (P) Preferred orientation to the external world
31
What Are My Core Values?Individual’s value system
Enduring beliefs about what’s most important in the world
Non-negotiable deeply held beliefsThere is a small # of values and people differ
on degree to which they possess each
32
What Are My Core Values?One of the most important ways values
awareness operates is attempting to determine compatibility and fit with others in jobs, occupations and organizations
Occupational fit condition that exists when there is relative
agreement among the parties about what is most important
What happens if poor fit?
33
What is My Preferred Career Orientation?Career orientation: preference for a specific
type of occupation and work contextImportance of self-awareness!
34
Important Self-Awareness IssuesAssessment results are simply feedback, not
value judgmentsThousands of self-assessments exist but many
have questionable legitimacyPreferences are choices we make about how
we perceive the world and function best in itLook for patterns and consistency across your
assessments
37
Involve Others: Seek Regular FeedbackMajor obstacle to seeking feedback is fearMulti-source feedback – enhances self-
knowledge and improves managerial behaviorThis is where SAP #1 and #2 fit in
Increase self-awarenessGet feedback in safe environmentBetter to get feedback from
friends/colleagues/instructor now than boss later!
38
Focus on Strengths, Not Just WeaknessesMost productive to place focus on strengths
and the things you can realistically changeBetter return on interventions aimed at
enhancing strengths rather than correcting weaknessesPositive Organizational BehaviourPositive Organizational Scholarship
39
Skill Building ActivityLook at list of Big 5 Personality traits (Page 21,
Table 1.5) – which traits do you think you will be high/low on?
Look at Jung’s personality preferences (Page 22) – which profile do you think will best represent you?
Look at Holland’s Career Preferences (Page 24, Table 1.6) – which types of occupations do you think are best suited for you? List a few occupations that you think fit you best based on this prediction
Write down and hand in to me
