Assignment
Share in a journal entry two to three behaviors you have exhibited in the workplace strictly due to your perception (e.g., you become nervous and speak much faster when presenting in front of your senior executives because at your last presentation you observed at least two of them looking at the clock and whispering to one another). Be sure to clearly explain the behavior and the correlating perception driving you.
Reference your Module Two journal entry to further explore the individual perceptions and resulting behaviors discussed. How will you take individual perceptions into consideration in conflict management? Do you feel after the reading and discussion this week that you may change your leadership approach relative to how you observe behavior? In addition, how will you be thinking about how shared perceptions may be influencing individuals and the departments?
