Formula For Credibility

Improved Essays
The Formula for Credibility is something that I find very interesting. Our text states that it a great leader cannot perform his duties without the trust of his inferiors. The belief that a reputation cannot be built upon lies and deceit; a credible reputation is the best formula for success. There are three key components that are fundamental in the Formula for Credibility: competence, caring and character. While some may believe that competency is the only key component, I disagree. I believe all three together set the basis for a proper Formula for Credibility. A leader must be competent in their profession; nobody would respect a leader that could not perform their duties in a competent manner. Our text states that competence is the knowledge …show more content…
Also referred to as EQ (emotional quotient), a recent study showed that the highest performers in the workplace also had a high emotional intelligence. The reason behind this? Because many people view it as an integral part of communication in the workplace. The ability to handle different situations based on different emotions is a necessary, fundamental task that sometimes goes unnoticed. Having savvy emotional intelligence showcases more strategic thinking, which leads to better business decisions. The four domains of emotional intelligence are self awareness, self management, empathy and relationship management. Self awareness shows the different ways that one can identify on when they win or lose in certain situations. It shows what can happen when situations arise throughout the process of communicating throughout business. It also tends to keep one in check when emotions run wild. Self management is something that everyone has the ability to work on. Directing positive emotions instead of negative ones, managing long term expectations, and keeping everyone else's future endeavors in line are integral in self management. Empathy is ideal for most leaders, but could be missed by some. Accurately picking up on other's emotions, relating to them, and developing solutions based off of those around you speaks volumes about different empathetic situations. Last but not least, …show more content…
While it wasn't the best movie I've seen, it did offer several scenes where non-verbal communication was key for survival. It featured several of the protagonist, moving silently throughout a church where they have to rescue a senator who is trying to get rid of the annual purge night. While the senator is strung up on the alter, our protagonist sneak in from the back balcony where they could attempt to save her.
As they silently creeped up throughout the church, they used different methods of nonverbal communication. The eye contact was the key aspect; they knew when one was in trouble or safe depending on the situation and where their eyes diverted to. The hand movement of stop and go helped as well.
While I'm not planning on killing anyone, I believe that at work I can utilize the different methods of nonverbal communication with my peers. I work behind a bar, and there are some nights where we produce upwards of $10,000 in sales. Using my hands and eyes I can start communicating more effectively when we are busy. From time to time, it gets hard to hear with the volume of people and music playing. While I don't think communication is lacking, it can definitely be

    It is the ability to understand and manage our own as well as others’ emotions. If emotions are not understood and managed accordingly, they can worsen a person’s behaviour and job performance. For a confirmation of the fact that emotions affect our attitude and behaviour in the workplace, I was privileged to have an employee’s word for it.

When I questioned her about her emotions, she took time to realize that most of the incidents in her workplace were merely a consequence of misunderstanding of emotions.…

In order to observe nonverbal communication, my husband and I went to eat dinner on a Saturday night at a local Applebee’s restaurant. We chose this restaurant because our daughter works there as a waitress and we could ask to sit in her section. I was not sure how a waiter/waitress who was not known to me would react to my observing and taking notes about my fellow diners. If the waiter/waitress had questioned me or sent the manager over to find out what I was doing, I was afraid that I would be noticed and then my subjects would become aware that they were being observed.…

By nonverbal communication, I was able to understand my father’s feeling without he told me about it.…
