Life is an Echo

Two people, a man and woman were walking slowly, turning to a corner at the bottom of a hill. Squirrels chased each other back and forth on the telephone wires. The mother took a cellophane bag off a loaf of bread, looked outside, glanced at the squirrel and said “poor little thing”. She turned the bag away from her hand and stuck the squirrel in it. She buried it while the boy blubbered the whole time.

“You are what?!” Most of the time wherever I go, the same tone follows me; a cross between shock and disgust.

I am excellent at relating to people and understanding why individuals make certain decisions. My ability to acknowledge and validate the emotions and actions of others has allowed me to create a positive repertoire not only in leadership positions, but also in daily situations. The key to my leadership style is close relationships with those I’m leading, which I usually create through frequent conversations or individual meetings. I believe that leadership is not a competitive ladder where I am above others, but instead a connective web in which I am the center of those I oversee. I have learned to be straight-forward and firm in setting rules and standards, while also being compassionate and understanding to individual

Managers promote poor communication when it is not planned out correctly, which can cause chaos and friction within the department. Emotions can cause a barrier and result in a communication breakdown. Poor communication is not always at the fault of the manager, poor listening on the staff’s part can

“I hear his voice but I don’t want to answer him. It annoys me that he is there. I’ve got to ignore him.

Alan’s attitude generates a tense relationship between him and his employees. In the future, they are not going to tell him what difficulties they are having which can decrease productivity. Also, if Alan practice good listening skills, he will be able to have a good communication with his employees to avoid misunderstandings and confusions in the different tasks assigned. In conclusion, Alan’s listening skills can produce a negative environment that can affect not only job performance, but also emotions between his employees.

One hour later the little girl falls once again. She gets back up and has a big grin on her face she laugh an evil laugh. She walks to her mom and says

“You wanted a clue, so here you are,” said a disembodied voice, somewhere amongst the shadows.

There once was a boy named leafy who loved riding his bike. one day he was riding around and out of nowhere he hit a penny on the ground while he was braking. It made the back tire slide out and he fell. When he got back up he noticed that the penny was face up. He put it in his pocket and kept riding. As he turned the corner to his house he heard a noise as he looked back before he could see it there was a crow chasing him. he pedaled as fast as he could then an ally came. he crossed without looking and BOOM! Leafy was hit by a car. Leafy died in the hospital the next day. The next Friday was his funeral. when they were done they got to carrying the coffin. when they were carrying the coffin they said they could hear something but they thought

I know that voice. Stopping dead in my tracks I hesitantly turned exactly ninety degrees to my left, coming face to face with the one person I did not want to see right now. Heck, no one wanted to see him at any time of day. “Hi . . . Mr. Oakridge,” I said, seeing my voice echo out into a foggy mist from the cold air. “How are you?” I quickly added, remembering

Good communication can enhance cooperation, which is vital in management. A good manager is able to bring out the best in his subordinates and encourage them to cooperate while making sure they are efficient. Autocratic managers make decisions and relay them to their followers and don’t allow feedback. There is improper communication with autocratic managers. This improper communication hurts cooperation and cooperation is vital to a business. A business needs great communication between managers and subordinates in order to thrive and autocratic managers prevent that cooperation. Mesly is able to show this in his investigation by highlighting the feelings of frustration and suspicion between the managers and followers. These feelings disrupt communication and overall effectiveness( Mesly,2011). This study was able to show how important it is to be open and able to connect to your followers emotionally as a manager. I believe that Mesly’s findings are really important and should be considered when one is in a managerial role. Being diplomatic and engaging with your followers and seeing what their needs are seems to be a far more effective way of managing than the autocratic manager.

The main goal of management and workplace psychology is to get their employees motivated in a positive way and make sure all employees are emotionally and mentally capable of handling the position or assignment they are hired to do. Mangers are leaders and should always set a good example in the workplace no matter what. However, Ayame’s background might affect the way she receives feedback because she comes from a country that does not agree with confrontation unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, Ayame is going to struggle getting feedback until she can fill her job

“Me? You want to give me a name?” The voice told me with a surprised tone. “Yes...I know it’s dumb but I want to give you a name so I don’t have to say voice all the time and-” the voice cut me off short.

He heard the voice in his head again. He still didn't know the language, but somehow he knew it was asking who he was.

He vocally calls out “Hello.” The word is not as important as the vocal behavior; he is inherently calling out to no one. His tone and inflection seem hesitant at first, but quickly he emphasizes the articulation and meter, suggesting irritation in his tone.
