INTRODUCTION

Self- development process involves two stages: developing awareness about self and adopting methods of development in the light of the self-awareness analysis. Both these are important as the self-development in not externally oriented. Improvement in knowledge, attitudes and skills are paramount.

10

Developing Self-Awareness There must be complete introspection of one to

assess one’s own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT Analysis).

There should be self-insight to identify patterns in emotional life and reactions, recognizing similar patterns in others.

On identification of one’s patterns, there must be self-acceptance of the mistakes and weaknesses which may be overcome through self-development process.’

11

Developing Self-Awareness

There must be right attitudes to develop a positive mindset or readiness to accept change. Resistance to change blocks self-development. Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens: Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst….a spark that creates extraordinary results.

12

BUSINESS ETIQUETTE / MANNERS & GROOMING

What is Etiquette?

Etiquette is defined as the usages and rules for behaviour in polite society, official or professional life. Certain basic rules are still accepted as the norm and it is for us to know both the old etiquette and the new etiquette.

13

Remember following tips….

1. You should be prepared with: - Attitude, Focus, Self-Introduction,

Conversation, Business Cards, Smile & Handshake.

2. You should say something….Anything

- Don't wait; Initiate. Take the Risk; the rewards are yours. Listen with interest to the response. Smile and make eye contact.

14


3. You should watch out for manners:- Learn old and new etiquette and brush up on

your manners. Acknowledge others. Treat everyone nicely.

4. You should avoid the common crutches:- Do not arrive too late. Don't leave too early.

Don't drink too much. Don't gorge at the buffet table.

15


5. You should remember the three E’s:- Make an EFFORT- Bring your ENERGY- Exude ENTHUSIASM

6. You should remember the four C’s:- COURTESY- CARING- CHARM- COURAGE

19

Physiological

The physiological needs are for food, drink and sleep. If these needs are not satisfied, the employee will not be motivated.

20

Common Sense

Let’s put what you do as a manager in terms of the dictates of common sense.

Need: People want to know what is expected of them.

Action: Tell them.Need: People want to achieve.Action: Give those goals and a chance.Need: People want to be noticed.Action: Pay attention to them.

21

Common Sense

Need : People want to believe.

Action : Give them a mission.

Need : People want to be appreciated.

Action : Say thanks.

Need : People want to care.

Action : Care and they will.

22

Common Sense

There are a few additional points that can help you create and maintain a high level of motivation among your staff. They are basic and can be applied naturally.

A sincere “thanks” is worth a bunch of motivational speeches.

Don't over use it, but Don't be afraid to use it. A complement is a standard, as well as an

expression of appreciation. With most people,

23

Common Sense

Saying “well done” will result in more opportunities to say “well done”.

A motivated employee is terrific. Build a team of motivated employees.

A winning team consists of individual winners. Winning companies are made up of motivated

people. They desire to do well, are rewarded for doing well, and will continue to do well. After all, it’s fun to win.

24

Motivation

The Hawthrone effect of motivation significantly points those human beings. Your staff be it two or two hundred, will react to you. The interest you take in your staff and the attention you pay to them will have more to do with their level of motivation than anything else. Understanding your staff what makes them “turn on” or “turn off” to the work process is key to your being able to get things done through them.

25

Motivation

Consider the hierarchy of needs in terms of the work situation towards Motivation & Personality.

26

Leadership

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles …they Don't flock; you find them one at a time.

27

Leadership

Finally remember Leadership Magic = C*2 (Charm * Courage)

Hence, to take charge and to take control remembers to follow following principles:

Don't surrender leadership to outside forces. Don't surrender leadership to faces. Don't surrender leadership to fences. Don't surrender leadership to frustrations.

28

Leadership

Don't surrender leadership to fears. Don't surrender leadership to fatigue. Don't surrender leadership to faults. Don't surrender leadership to facts. Don't surrender leadership to frenzies. Don't surrender leadership to forecasts. Don't surrender leadership to your foes. Don't surrender leadership to your friends. Don't surrender leadership to one thing – faith.

29

Safety

Stability, freedom from fear, structure and order are the “safety” needs. At this level, your influence starts to be more noticeable. An orderly work environment, an attitude of purpose and commitment on your part, a reasonable show of tolerance rather than flashing the sword are the ways you influence the level of motivation associated with the safety needs.

30

Communication

Communication is a way two-way flow of information. The two-way characteristics calls for both saying something and listening to something. A good manager always exchanges. Better management calls for better communication, which is sought to be participative.

31

Communication (Why & How)

Why?

Communication takes place for one of three purpose to inform, to direct, or to request. Unclear communication will misinform and misdirect. Everybody suffers. If the wrong request is made, or the request is unclear, the chances of getting the desired results are weak at best. Clear communication precedes obtaining the desired result.

32


How?The most common methods are, of course, oral and

written communication. But there are some important complements to these two forms. Your tone of voice carries a message equal to or greater than, the words you speak. Your actions express the values that truly govern your behaviour: one act (of temper or patience, of panic or calm under pressure, of defensiveness or self-confidence) is worth more than thousand words .

33


And it should not surprise you to know that communication occurs without a single word: when the boss closes the door, communication occurs.

These characteristics are straightforward. Understand them is easy.

Here are the statements, which you need to follow religiously.

I recognize that effective communication is hard work.

34


I know what needs to be said before I speak or write.

I think about my audience – who they are, what their level of interest is likely to be, and what their level of understanding is.

I choose the right the words for the subject and the audience.

I try to be interesting.

35


I am aware of the environment (office or social setting, open or closed door, morale, boss etc.) when I communicate.

I look for feedback. I listen with the same level of interest I want

given to me. I seek common understanding.

36

Adjectives

Rule 1

In comparing two things, the comparative degree should be used: for more than two, superlative degree should be used.

For Example:

Incorrect: He is the best of the two brothers.

Correct: He is better of the two brothers.

Incorrect: Among the three friends, John is better.

Correct: Among the three friends, John is the best.

41

Adjectives

Rule 2

The use of double comparatives and superlative should be avoided.

For Example:

Incorrect: Tom is more smarter than Mike.

Correct: Tom is smarter than Mike.

42

Adjectives

Rule 3

When a comparative is followed by than, just any or all should not be used; other should be added to these.

For Example:

Incorrect: He is cruder than any man living.

Correct: He is cruder than any other man living.

Incorrect: Birbal was wiser than any man living.

Correct: Birbal was wiser than any other man living.

43

Adjectives

Rule 4

When the superlative degree is used, then other is avoided.

For Example:

Incorrect: Birbal was the wisest of all other courtiers.

Correct: Birbal was the wisest of all courtiers.

44

Adjectives

Rule 5

After the use of comparative like superior, inferior, prefer, preferable, junior, senior, anterior, prior, to should be used instead of than.

For Example:

Incorrect: As a batsman, Jayasurya is superior than Tendulkar.

Correct: As a batsman, Jayasurya is superior to Tendulkar.

45

Adjective

Note: Greater than or smaller than are often used incorrectly. Study the following examples carefully:

For Example:

Incorrect: The area of U.P. is greater than Bihar.

Correct: The area of U.P. is greater than that of Bihar.

Incorrect: The population of India is smaller than China.

Correct: The population of India is smaller than that of China.

46

Adjectives

Rule 6

Some adjectives like perfect, universal, unique, chief, complete entire, full etc. are considered to be superlative, so they do not take any comparatives.

Incorrect: This is the most unique feature of the car.

Correct: This is the unique feature of the car.

Incorrect: This belief is most universally accepted.

Correct: This belief is universally accepted.

47

Adjectives Rule 7 Few and a Few, Little and a little have different meanings. Few and Little are negative, meaning: not many or hardly any. A few and A little are positive, meaning: some (though not much). For Example:I have lost little money in the stock exchange. (Hardly any).I have lost a little money in the stock exchange (some).

48

Adjectives

Both the sentences have different meanings. Similarly: Few people believed what you said A few people believed what you said Have different meanings. But “Little knowledge is a dangerous thing” is

incorrect. It should be “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”.

49

Adjectives

Rule 8

Less is used for quantity, and fewer in case of number. For Example:

Correct: My eldest sister is still unmarried.

Incorrect: Ron is elder than Bill.

Correct: Ron is older than Bill.

51

Adjectives Rule 10 Any is used in negative sentences and some is used

in affirmative sentences; both any and some can be used in interrogative sentences.

birthday.Correct: He did not give me anything on my birthday.Incorrect: I told him to give any money to the beggar.Correct: I told him to give some money to the beggar.

sound. Rule 1 The article A is used before words beginning with a

consonant sound. For Example: A man, A Tree, A House. Note: (a) worlds like European, University, useful,

union, take the article a, as they begin with a consonant sound ‘you’.

54

Articles

For Example: A European, A useful thing(b) One begins with the consonant sound w, so

it takes the article a. For Example: A one man enquiry commission Don't be misguided by the vowel or

consonant letters. Be guided by the sound of the letter.

55

Article Rule 2 An is used before words beginning with a vowel

sound. For Example: An apple, an idiot, an imported article. Note: (a) In words like hour, honest, heir, the h is

silent and they begin with a vowel sound, so they take the article an before them.

For Example: An honest officer, An hour ago, An heir to the

throne.

56

Article

(b) The words hotel and historical beginning with a unaccented h also take an as the article.

For Example: A hotel, An historical novel.

57

which two subjects, provided the form of the verb agrees with the subjects.

For Example: His mouth was open, his nose twitching. But the following sentence is incorrect. His mouth was open, his eyes staring. It should be written as: His mouth was open, his eyes were staring. Note the difference in the verb form.

78

Verb Rule 2 Two auxiliary verbs can be used with one principal

verb, provided the form of the principal verb suits both the auxiliaries.

For Example: I never can or will hurt a fly. But the following sense is incorrect. He never has and never will refuse a bribe. It should be written as: He never has refused and never will refuse a bribe. Note the difference in the verb form.

79

Verb

raised. For Example: She raised her leg. I requested the manager to give me a raise. Do not raise your voice.

84

Verb

Rule 6 Note carefully the use of the following verbs: Ring, sing, sink, begin, flow, show, hang,

awake and fly. The past tense and the past participle of

these verbs are often mixed up.

85

Verb

The three forms of these verbs are: Ring, Rang, Rung Sink, Sank, Sunk Sing, Sang, Sung Begin, Began, Begun Show, Showed, Showed / Shown Flow, Flowed, Flowed Hang, Hung, Hung (a picture) Hang, Hanged, Hanged (criminal) Fly, Flew, Flown

86

banks. The criminal was hanged (not hung) The picture was hung (not hanged)

87

Verb

Rule 7 The use of shall and will Many of the precise distinctions concerning the use

of shall and will have passed out of informal speaking and writing. But formal writing still prohibits the arbitrary use of these two forms of the verb.

Shall is used in the first person and will in the second and third person to express simple futurity.

88

Verb

For Example: I shall, we shall, you will, they will However, in order to express determination,

compulsion, threat, willingness, command or promise, reverse the order of shall and will. Use will in the first person and shall in the second and third person.

89

Verb

For Example: I will go tomorrow, come what may. You shall do this work. I will try and improve my performance. They shall go by this afternoon. Note: (a) Will or shall should not be used

twice in the same sentence if both actions refer to the future.

90

Verb

For Example: Incorrect: I shall reach the office if the bus will come

in time. Correct: I shall reach the office if the bus comes in

time. (2) In asking questions, will is not used in the first

person. For Example: Shall I go? Shall we go?

91

Verb Rule 8 The use of should and would. Should is the

past tense of shall and generally follows the same rules that apply to shall.

Would is the past tense of will and generally follows the same rules that apply to will.

Both should and would have special too. Should is used in all three persons to express obligation. Both ought and should are used interchangeable to express obligation.

92

Verb

For Example: We would go for a walk every evening. I would not run away from responsibility. He would try to do his best.

93

Verb

Rule 9 (use of ought) For Example: You ought to go home now. Ought is used to express: (a) Duty or moral obligation – The rich ought to help

the poor. (b) Probability – He ought to have come back home

by now. (c) Desirability – You ought to pray before every

meal.

94

Verb

Rule 10 (May and Might)As a principal verb, may express

possibility or permission.For Example:Let’s go, he may be home now.May I leave now?

95

Verb

As an auxiliary verb, may express a wish or purpose.

For Example: May you succeed in life? We take medicine so that we may be cured.

96

Verb

Might is the past tense of May. For Example: He asked if he might leave. It is also used to express a weak possibility or

a polite suggestion. For Example: You might find the purse with the peon, but I

doubt it. You might make a suggestion if you want.

97

Verb Rule 11 (Can and Could) (a) Can express ability and capacity For Example: I can walk ten miles. Can you solve this problem? Can also express permission For Example: You can go In this sentence can have the same meaning as May? The

difference is that may is used to express possibility in affirmative sentences. Can is used in Interrogative or negative sentences.

98

Verb

For Example: It may be true. Can this be true? It cannot be true. Could is the past tense of can. It also acts as a

principal verb when it expresses its own meaning. For Example: In spite of his illness, he could do well in the

examination. Could here, relates to ability.

99

Adverbs

As an adverb adjective modifies or qualifies a noun, an adverb modifies or qualifies a verb. It also qualifies adjectives and other adverbs.

Rule 1 As adverb should be placed, as far as possible, next

to the verb or words it modifies. For Example: We arrived early. He works hard.

100

Adverbs

Rule 2 The adverb only is usually misplaced. Only

should be placed immediately before the word it modifies. For Example:

Only I failed in the exam. Study the following sentences: I scold him only when he abuses. I only scold him when he abuses.

101

Adverbs

Change in the position of only changes the meaning.

The first sentence indicates the reason for scolding.

The second sentence suggests that nobody else scolds him.

So one should be careful in the placement of the adverb.

102

Adverbs

Rule 3 The adverb of time such as seldom, ever,

never, generally, scarcely, merely, often etc. are placed before the verb.

For Example: Incorrect: Speaking generally, the rule is

unfair. Correct: Generally speaking, the rule is

unfair.

103

Adverbs

Incorrect: She comes seldom on time. Correct: She seldom comes on time. Incorrect: I go often for a walk. Correct: I often go for a walk. Rule 4 Else should be followed by but not by then. For Example: Who else but Chris would do this?

104

Adverbs Rule 5 Much is used in (a) the comparative degree and (b) with past

participle Very is used in (a) the positive degree and (b) with present

participle. For Example: I am feeling much better. (Not very better) She was much delighted. (Not very delighted) The news is very interesting. (Not much interesting) Note: Past participle like pleased and tired take very before

them. For Example: My mother is very pleased. I am very tired.

105

Adverbs

Rule 6 The adverb too should not be used as a

substitute of much and very. Further, it should be followed by to.

For Example: Her results is too good to be true. The burden was too much for one coolie to

bear.

106

Adverbs

Rule 7 As… As is used in affirmative sentences. So... As is used in negative sentences. For Example: My mother is as good as gold. Neil is not so nice as his neighbor.

Short: Possibly routine, but there will be a crisis if not dealt with during the next week.

Medium: Need to be done with the next few months in relation to the effectiveness of work in the future.

Long Term: Could be postponed indefinitely, but will eventually causes problems.

118

Time Management

Priorities and tasks can be classified as follows:- Important and Urgent: Task with deadlines need

immediate response and should be dealt with now. Important and not Urgent: Tasks that are important

and need to be done, but could be scheduled for a later date.

Urgent but not Important: Tasks from colleagues that they tell you are urgent (because they want them to be dealt with), but which you discover that they do not in fact need until the end of the week.

119

Time Management

Wasted Time: Information that lands on your desk which bears very little relevance to your work and is not worth bothering with.

Prioritizing is a matter of habit. It is learning not to tackle what is immediately in front of you but each day deciding what should come first and what can be left for the moment.

Customer Care Why is Customer Care important to your

Organization? A good customer is essential just to service and it is

exceptional customer care that will set you apart from your competitors. Most of the organizations talk about customer care as being like the centre of a stick of rock, permeating every part and activity of the organization. Customer care is not just a set of tasks – a list of do’s and Don'ts: it is a way of life.

The hard evidence suggests that the profits gained from an individual customer increase significantly over time.

129

Customer Care

These gains come from: Increased purchasing by the customer over

time. Savings from operating costs. Gains from additional customers referred on

from a satisfied customer. Gains from the price premium that people will

pay for a service or product that they trust.

130

Customer Care

The powerful point is made that if you lose a customer it is not generally not just that one sale that is lost but also potentially a lifetime of sales. Given that it can be very costly to gain a customer through advertising and other marketing costs, it is perhaps surprising that some organizations are so careless in their treatment of customers!

131

Customer Care

Why is customer care important to you? Satisfied customers causes less stress Satisfied customers take up less time Satisfied customers tells others people

enhancing your reputation Customers are human beings

132

Customer Care

What is excellent customer care? - What is quality of customer care you

provide? Having identified your customers and the

nature of the service or product you offer, the crucial question is how well you do it.

133

Customer Care

There are usually four important elements involved in delivering quality customer care.

Appropriateness: Are your service / product what the customer actually wants – does it precisely meet their needs?

Consistency: Are your service / product of the required standard all the time?

Timeliness: do you provide the service when the customer needs it, over a reasonable time period?

134

Customer Care

Satisfying: does the way you provide your service ensure that is a good experience for the customer, e.g. you are friendly and helpful, and do you show interest and / or concern?

135

Communicating with your customers

- How we communicate There is one skill that runs through every

aspect of working life: the ability to communicate effectively. It is at the heart of excellent customer care and is central to developing positive relationships with your customer.

136


You communicate with your customers in one of three ways:-

Face-to-face – in your shop, office or factory, or when you go out to their homes or offices.

On the telephone – responding to their calls or initiating calls yourself.

In writing – by letter, memo, report, circular, etc.

137


There are some basic rules that apply to all forms of communication and then there are some specific skills that go with each type of communication. The first basic rule concerns how we communicate. One famous researcher, Albert Mehrabian came up with some fascinating results. He concluded that the way a message is conveyed is through.

138


What we say, i.e. the words we use – 7% How we say it, i.e. the use of the voice in

terms of tone, volume, pace – 38% Our body language – 55%

139


Three key communication skills, which must be concentrated upon, are:

Building and maintaining rapport Active listening Effective questioning Remember good salesman listens 80% and

talks 20%
