Assignment task: The following are different scenarios depicting employees from two different backgrounds. Read through each scenario and identify at least one strategy that can be used to communicate with each employee effectively. Analyse and document emotional responses.
Scenario 1: Takashi is working as a fitness instructor for Bounce Fitness. He is an excellent and efficient employee seen in his work ethic and the feedback from members of the fitness centre. He tends to be quiet during work-related events such as meetings and lunch outs. He also relies on non-verbal signals such as facial expressions and body language to convey his responses to his workgroup members. He often avoids eye contact with his workgroup members due to social anxiety.
Scenario 2: Michael works as a fitness instructor for Bounce Fitness. He is very direct, clear, transparent, and open about work-related matters. He is also easily frustrated when something doesn't go his way. When frustrated, Michael makes unnecessary comments about his workgroup members' work ethics, causing some colleagues to view him as rude and aggressive.
