My Interviewing Experience

I chose to interview my boyfriend's mother. While interviewing her we were both comfortable. We were both so comfortable that the interview seemed more like a conversation we would have. I enjoyed interviewing her because I learned more about her childhood. I enjoyed it because it enabled me to know her better as a person and a mother.

Praise

Our department hired a Secretary to help me and another employee. The new employee was reluctant in helping after beginning work. She was more into advising us as to what should be done instead of what she was asked to do. I started praising her for her helpful suggestions and asking her to make copies and deliver reports soon the advising subsided and now she does whatever she can to help us get our jobs done.

The 5C'S: A Model for Group Decision Making

The 5C'S:A Model for Group Decision Making: This model emphasizes the fact that life is full of major and small decisions. Though many of these decisions involve the individual and how decisions are made in this respect, this method of making individual decisions also affects others because we also tend to involve ourselves in group decisions in the similar way to that of which we make our own decisions as individuals. This model also emphasizes making choices/decisions based on viable past experiences, current individual/group needs/expectations, and thoughts/feelings about the future outcomes of these decisions. For the purposes of this model, these factors for group decision making are similar to those used for individual decision making. The guidelines for making these decisions are rather simple and straightforward, and emphasize our freedom of choice when faced with any life decision. This model really emphasizes ownership & accountability of all in the group in order for the decision to be fair and for the group and individual to achieve success, also relating to individual decision making.

Vroom-Jago

The Vroom-Jago Decision-Making Model makes sense to post here, since our last class included lessons on group communication and leadership. There are different methods of decision-making available to groups. This model is designed to simplify the process of deciding how the REAL decision is made and what roles the leader and group are to play. This could come in handy for decision-makers unable to decide on how to decide (hee hee).
