Thank you for the opportunity to further my station with the Thirsty Beverage Corporation (TBC). I know this is
a unique opportunity to advance both mine and the company's commitment towards greatness. Having worked for this company for three years I believe I have a particular set of skills that can be beneficial to implementing a greater workforce cohesion. My other colleagues are also applying for this position. Understandably, being offered this position would have previous colleges transition into employees that I would need to manage equally with the other members of the team. I will acknowledge that one of the employees and I have not always seen eye to eye on every issue. I will address these challenging dynamics further and branch out to include any other diversity differences that might arise between myself and the diverse community we are growing here at TBC. Further, I will expand on group collaboration efforts that, if implemented properly, will construct a more cohesive team. And with my experience working for theThirsty Beverage Corporation, I have the insight needed to address the companies and employees frustrations.
Team Dynamics
My personal demographics are that of a Cis white male in my mid thirties. An active member in my local community, and organizations. I am a member in good standing with the Kiwanis Club of Southfield, the Boy Scouts of America, and our local high schools parent teacher association. These organizations have allowed me to interact with many different individuals from all walks of life. With the influx of new hires here at TBC, the diverse range of employees has grown. From a small team of five, to now over 20 employees. Our business is in need of strong leadership and guidance from someone who knows the daily activities that take place. TBC’s largest diversity is in workforce age. 32% of employees are between the ages 26-35. I count myself in this largest cohort. 26% are between the ages of 36-45. Not far off with 20% are the
youngest employees between 18-25. With 78% of employees under the age of 45 this allows for a growth model that
will develop proficient employees for an extended timeframe. We also maintain 14% between 46-55, and 8% at 55+. These senior members are crucial to our success, as their years of expertise and skills have been invaluable in countless situations. (SNHU, 2023) The cultural differences are not as large with 73% of employees being Caucasian, 14% Hispanic, 8% African American, and 5% Asian. (SNHU, 2023) Again I count myself in the largest cohort which is beneficial in a leading role. It is still extremely important to account for diverse cultures when leading a team and with my personal experience I believe there is no better choice than myself. Simple gender stereotypes are an issue that I see needs correcting. The company survey only offered a binary Male/Female option. 70% registered male while 30% marked female. If we want to be an inclusive community based organization, we should look inward and offer the opportunity for our employees to express their full identity. I do not count myself as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, yet I recognize the need to express individuality. I would welcome a more open and inclusive workforce.
With all of these diverse connections, many implicit biases can play out through the team. These could range from, but not limited to; gender diversity, religious differences, sexual orientation, racial diversities, and age discrimination. Every individual has inherent biases based on their upbringing and personal experiences. This may lead to stereotyping or personification within a team's cohesion. A younger employee may become resentful of an older employee taking more frequent breaks. An employee may inappropriately interpret another's demeanor as affectionate or flirtatious when only professionalism was intended. Different religious cultures may clash due to differing belief systems and culturally appropriate attire. With the rapid growth of Thirsty Beverage Corporation we will find more friction among employees that will need to be addressed in a fair and balanced manner. A personal challenge that I will need to address is working professionally with a former college. We have had issues in the past communicating succinctly. They preferred to send informational emails while I preferred a more personal approach in face-to-face communication. I understand the benefit of recorded documentation and strive to improve myself in those regards. Yet the personal touch is lost when communicating through writing. Inflection and facial cues are a strong identifying factor towards sales and coordination. I find a personal touch to be extremely beneficial when communicating guidance to a team.

For this week's discussion, we have been asked to review and discuss the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This is an extension of the Jungian personality theory, which identifies personality traits that help identify performance measures that make it easier to promote and use employees in a way that will ensure their success (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). However, there are particular areas in business where this can be used, as it is not a bulletproof evaluation tool, and, per the text, it could be a better tool for performance evaluation and pre-employment. (Coe, 1992). So, how does this apply to the question of the week, and how can we use it in daily business to increase the success of the employee and the business overall?
The MBTI tool could promote middle managers to the executive level. Executive-level managers are good leaders with strong communication skills and personality traits that set them apart from the pack (Men, 2015). We…

Utilizing Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace By Kendra Cherry
Emotional intelligence, sometimes referred to as EQ ("emotional quotient"), refers to a person's ability to
recognize, understand, manage, and reason with emotions. It is a critical ability when it comes to
interpersonal communication-and a hot topic not only in psychology, but in the business world.
The term was coined by psychologists in the 1990s. Its use quickly spread into other areas including
business, education, and popular culture.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Psychologists Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer, two of the leading researchers on the topic, define
emotional intelligence as the ability to recognize and understand emotions in oneself and others. This
ability also involves using this emotional understanding to make decisions, solve problems, and
communicate with others. According to Salovey and Mayer, there are four different…

What specific steps can you start taking today to counteract the cognitive biases you have? Choose one bias you feel most applies to you, and develop and explain a plan to counteract it. (Don’t choose confirmation bias or disconfirmation bias, since that was the topic of our last Unit’s Discussion Board.) Many biases we’re studying are below:
overtrusting shady sources
undertrusting reliable sources overtrusting anecdotes
overtrusting hearsay
overtrusting my own memory
closed-mindedness
open-mindedness to a fault
math biases
overconfidence
social pressure of conformity
social pressure of normalcy
familiarity bias
rationalization
Follow the Unit 7 reading “A Short Guide to Counteracting Biases” in creating your plan to mitigate your bias, and include the following in it:
List events or times in your life that consistently trigger this bad habit. (see section III of “A Short Guide to Counteracting Biases”)

Organizational commitment is one of the most prominent things that drive successful organizations; more definitively, affective organizational commitment is the attitude or overall job satisfaction of an organization's employees (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). As a manager, this is the type of organization we all want, as they are generally happy and want to come to work, unlike the employee found in a continuance commitment employee (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). Although there are many power sources, the ones that lead to the assurance of affective power for this post, we will use referent power as an example. In my experience, this is used to gain the backing of employees through the belief in leadership and willingness to follow their leadership to the ends of the earth due to their interpersonal communication skills that allow for loyalty and commitment to the idea that they will never leave employees behind (Toscano, 2015).…
