A) Describe what make fourth generation time management unique and “transformational,” and how it shifts us from the “things” paradigm to the “people” paradigm.
Fourth generation time management is unique because it does not fit the “normal” behavior of responsiveness. Control is the force behind much of the third generation philosophy (p. 208) and does not have the full effect of “true north” expectation (p. 285) in contrast to the fourth generation time management which challenges all aspects of an individual’s old habits and traditions. Most often we think that we must do a certain thing a certain kind of way in a routine mundane way. FGTM gives us a glimpse of an alternate way or method of thinking that produces a synergistic viewpoint by interacting specifically with the “people” paradigm instead of the “things” paradigm. In other words, it gives an illustration of what is most important to an individual or group and changes their outlook on the levels of importance as it relates to life. As the authors pointed out, intangibles should not come before people (p. 73).
B: Describe the role of win-win philosophy, shared vision, and synergistic roles and goals in fourth generation interdependence.

In order for a win-win result to be effective, based on the three principles, first, there must be a change in the way a person usually thinks (p. 212). An individual’s frame of mind must change from thinking independently to thinking together, both minds working together to accomplish a goal. The second is, give the other individual a chance to express himself or herself before speaking or passing judgement, the third, respect each other and find a means for an alternative solution to solve the problem
The conversation seems to be framed in a win-lose orientation to conflict. Each person wants to be right, and to win at the expense of the other. How can Jan and Ken move their conflict discussion into a win-win orientation?
Gina Blair and Daniel Trent cooperate and collaborate to achieve a common objective throughout their negotiation. A cooperative negotiation style is demonstrated as they combine their points of view regarding their clients concerns with outcomes to effectively solve the issues raised. The main focus of the negotiation is to reach an agreement rather than a continuous dispute. Accordingly, the conflicting objectives were resolved by compromises and solutions but forward by both Gina and Daniel. The negotiation style used between Gina and Daniel is described as principled negotiation where both parties jointly attack the problems arising to achieve a compromise.
Time as a precious resource requires proper planning at the time of spending on various things. The proper planning of time is called Time Management by which the right time is allocated to the right work. Author of the present paper attempted to find out the effects of time management on other variables and attributes of peoples. For this purpose, a number of prominent studies undertaken between 1990 and 2010 were analysed. More or less, all studies which were reviewed reported salubrious effect of time management on the stress level.
Work-life balance has been a popular topic for employees across all age and occupations for years, representing a rising concern of contemporary human resource management and labor policies. This topic has attracted the attention from the millennium generation, who is stepping into the market and beginning to grow a career. Therefore considering the increasing demand, well-designed workforce planning with diverse scheduling options offered to employees appears to be extra credits for most companies. This research paper aims to communicate the positive effects of four-day workweek, and providing support for why employers should adopt this schedule for employees and themselves through 1) introducing background and history of four-day workweek as a work schedule option and 2) demonstrating benefits of four-day workweek from both employer and employees’ perspectives.
Person centred theory came from Carl Rogers who believed in being warm, genuine and understanding make a difference in clients’ condition and its improvement. Believes and values are very important in person centred thinking and planning. Carl Rogers identified three main core conditions that have a significant influence when supporting vulnerable people, which are an unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence. However, later on he expands his list to a six core conditions in total.
In Jeremy Rifkin’s book Time Wars includes the reading selection “The Efficient Society” he is analytical in his explanation of what is being considered to be an efficient society. In the critical analysis he details the time management scenarios that are addressed to make more efficient workers. Corporations need to produce more work from each of its workers and the way that the companies take the time to measure
A win-lose orientation assumes that there can only be one winner in a conflict. This type of conflict can cause problems in a relationship, because it is generally followed by dissatisfaction and resentment from the ‘loser’ of the argument (Wood, 2016). The best solution to conflict is a win-win orientation. Everyone involved must be satisfied with the end result, and this may include compromise by both sides.
Carl R. Rogers is known as the founding father of person-centered therapy. He was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1902 to a devoted Christian and a civil engineer (Rogers, Kirschenbaum, & Land, 2001). In 1922 Rogers began to doubt his religious teaching from early on in life, he sought a more liberal education at the Union Theological Seminary (Rogers, Kirschenbaum, & Land, 2001). After two years he left to attend Columbia University to study clinical and education psychology. Rogers went on to write four major books: The Clinical Treatment of the Problem Child (1939), Counseling and Psychotherapy: New Concepts in Practice (1942), Client-Centered Therapy (1951), and Psychotherapy and Personality (Rogers & Dymond, 1954) (Walsh, 2010; Patterson, 2007).
Person-Centered Theory stands out amongst the multitude of theories developed to help improve the lives of individuals. Carl Rogers was the pioneer of Person-Centered Theory, which was the basis for Virginia Axline’s development of Child-Centered Play Therapy. Immediately, I felt a connection as I began learning about the principles of Person-Centered Theory. The introduction to this theory led me to discover the work of Virginia Axline. My interest in counseling children was reinforced by the fundamental elements of play therapy. Further, the story of Dibs engendered hope and enthusiasm for the possibility that this could be the theory from which I work.
A win-win approach Usually ways to resolve differences so that everyone gains. A good solution is one that everyone finds satisfactory. People who adopt win-win often discover solutions previously un-thought of b//c they are committed to their own & others’ satisfaction. Sometimes the result of compromises provide confirmation & protect the health of the relationship
There are constantly problems arising from poor time management. Last week, a welder took too many breaks and did not complete his task. Yesterday, an ironworker did not complete his assignment, because he took an extended lunch.
In addition, each party must be willing to redefine its perspective knowing that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts if they could implement the strategy successfully.
This Assignment will discuss the Strengths and Weaknesses of Time Management and their relationship with Stress in the Workplace, and how Stress affects the achievement of Personal and Team Goals. I intend to show how good time management can reduce stress and will base my findings on information I have gathered and a questionnaire I have written for my colleagues while giving examples of both good and bad time management
Many professional negotiators prefer to aim towards what is known as a Win-Win solution. This involves looking for resolutions that allow both sides to gain.
