I applied simple method to check my influential behavior, I don't know if it is a good method or not. Last week in term-break, we went for a trip to Subic, I observed while making decisions about place to go or hotel to stay etc. I was little incompetent in convincing people.
Is it a good observation or method of observation?
I also tried to read few books from library about becoming persuasive by Harward Press.
Sir, I need your help in this area of development. What would you suggest me to improve my influential skills ? Another thing is, I find it difficult to make strong decisions which may hurt people and hence while discussing Wyeth case, I recommended to give people time for improvement.
Also, I want to share little personal change that I encountered and its relation with the Johari window observations. I don't know, but after coming to AIM, I became little more introvert it might be because study load. But my Johari window observations were very strange and made me think that is it a really improvement.
Attributes I selected in Open Spot (Arena) were
adaptable
extroverted
friendly
intelligent
shy
But only "Intelligent" attribute is strongly matching (40%) with the people's observation. Also most of them observed me as "independent" & "bold" I thought myself exactly opposite of these. And hence I tried to relate it with my increased introvert. This is because I wanted to discuss my behavioral change.

HBO Insights
It was the first class of HBO when my learning team had presentation about "What makes Best Employer?", I was pretty excited about the subject content and researched 2 days for understanding different topics in first part of course. It was exciting experience because, it was first lecture and we had no idea about the expectation of Professor and whole class. While preparing for the first seminar, I asked myself what is HBO? is it really "Human Behavior Organization" ? And if it is then why is it so? Is it for me to manage other people or is it to work in some organization effectively. Interestingly as course commenced I understood that it is both ways, it is to manage your team effectively as well as to perform efficiently in an organization.
As course advanced new aspects of behavioral patterns got unfolded, I started relating it with my previous experiences. I also understood the importance of Personnel Management and found that it is a systematic and methodical process. As I worked in both Old and New (decentralized) cultural environment, I used to wonder why my manager behaves like a dictator. Why did he always try to do things in his ways? It also gave frustration to young and enthusiastic team members like me. It was the HBO class in which I understood advantages and disadvantages of both approaches of personnel management. It was not just theoretical experience; professor also asked practical questions like what if employee is simply lazy. As mentioned in first paragraph, it was not just for us to decide what should be done with such employees but it was also directed to us that we should be always be active and energetic in a responsibility based cultural environment.
Wyeth Philippines Inc. (de Carlo) case was very interesting and "take home" was that confident & strong leaders can change organization's future. It was fun when many people tried to do "firework" (even though it was hypothetical), but objective was using power in right direction in right proportion. Only thing I observed that students get drifted away in particular direction where class is not supposed to go. I observed this while discussing "People are Our Great Asset" when students spent lot of time discussing actual entries of Human Resource of a company. Finally Professor intervened and told class that it is just metaphor.
