Working in Team.(PASS)

Ans.

There are four life stroke positions:

1. I am OK, you are OK - Healthy, confident,
and optimistic attitude towards self and others.

depressed, and inferior.

pessimistic attitude towards self and others.
These four life stances have a significant impact
when working in a team. If we adopt a life
stance of “I am not OK, you are not OK,” it
creates an unhealthy and pessimistic
environment. If the stance is “I am not OK, you

are OK,” it leads to feelings of powerlessness

and depression. Conversely, if the stance is “I
am OK, you are not OK,” it fosters a sense of
superiority over others. However, if we
embrace the life stance of “I am OK, you are
OK,” it promotes a positive and balanced
outlook, enhancing team dynamics.

improve. (MERIT)
Ans:IMPROVING TIME MANAGEMENT
1. Prioritize
Write down all the tasks you need to do and decide what is most important and urgent. Tackle
that task first. This will free up your time and allow you to focus on activities of your interest or
job

2. Do It Now
Stop keeping things pending by forcing yourself to DO IT NOW. Every ‘done’ job is a small goal
achieved, and this gives you a good feeling about yourself, which again motivates you to
achieve more in life.

3. Set Goals, Achieve Goals

 Personality Development – Written Assignment

People with strong goals automatically decide on what to do and when. Remember that goals
must have deadlines. This will help you decide on the tasks to be done in order of their
importance and reject those which are unimportant or ‘time-wasters’.

4. Put Things in Writing

Write things down, don’t try to remember. Carry a pocket diary and a jotting pad with you at all
times. Keep a jotting pad by your bedside also. Now, start making notes of events,
appointments, ideas, and goals as they occur to you. You will soon become more organized and
produce more results from your time by using it productively
.
5. Wasted Time
Some everyday examples of wasted time are: Commuting, Waiting, Delegating without
commitment, and Friends and unnecessary use of the phone. Check on what else you can do
while commuting and waiting. Carrying books may help you. When you delegate, get time
commitment. Make association with friends who are productive rather than those who indulge
in time-pass activities.

Ques:7 What are the blocks to efficient time management? How will you overcome them?
(MERIT)
Ans: BLOCKS TO EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT
There are several blocks to effective time management. The top five are:
1. Likes and Dislikes
People tend to do those things which they like instead of those things which are IMPORTANT.
Such an attitude always leaves important work unfinished to produce negative results in life.
When one learns to separate personal likes and dislikes and concentrates on the importance of
the activity, this block disappears.

2. A Lack of Discipline
 Personality Development – Written Assignment

Success in life cannot be achieved without discipline. Time, in nature, is extremely disciplined—
for example, Day and Night; Seasons; The Sun and The Moon; Flowers and Fruits, all follow a
schedule. A disciplined person is also a good time-manager.

3. Procrastination
Procrastination is the negative habit of putting things off for a later time. Words like, “Later;”
“tomorrow;” “we’ll see” and “not now” are so common that procrastination can be termed a
social illness. The more one avoids procrastination, the better the person manages activities
and time.

4. Weak Interests in Life

Dynamic goals compel us to perform dynamic activities whereas very easy or non-demanding
goals do not stretch our potential to produce dynamic goals and results. Weak interests in life
therefore, produce weak personalities and poor time managers.

5. Improper Reference Groups

A negative reference group will never allow productive activities to be performed. People with
low self-esteem pull others down, while people with high self-esteem build themselves and
others around them also. Reference groups, from a personality-development perspective,
include good books, T.V. channels, magazines and clubs.

Ques 8.Which leadership function do you think is most important and justify your choice.
(MERIT)
Ans1. Influence
Leaders impact the team positively to achieve goals.
2. Motivate

 Personality Development – Written Assignment

6. Cooperate

environment.

Ques:9.What are the 10 steps of goal setting and achievement?(MERIT)

Ans1. Write Your Goals Down: Clearly articulate your goals in writing to enhance your
commitment and make them more tangible. Use descriptive language and ensure the goals are
specific to the person setting them.

2. Make Goals SPECIFIC: Set precise targets. For example, instead of a vague goal like “I want to
earn money,” aim for “I want to earn Rs. 20,000 per month.” Specific goals provide direction

3. Allow Power of Your Goals to Guide You: Let your goals steer you away from non-productive
activities. For instance, replace habits like eating ice cream with healthier choices such as
exercise and nutritious food to support your objectives
.
4. Reach Out into the FUTURE: Plan ahead and determine what needs to
be done today to achieve your long-term goals. Break them into manageable steps.

5. Make Goals REALISTIC and BELIEVABLE: Set achievable targets that align with your

amount.
