Professor Julie and other team members, you are very wonderful, and a special thank you to Durham University for the opportunity.
Thank you, all.

All information dolled out in this course must be taken seriously. As a consultant, a leader, or change agent, we must consider the hilltops of every member of our organisation. The youngest in the organisation can make as well as mare the progress of any change program.
The organizers of this course are very wonderful. Thank you

Succinctly coined! Good summary.
I particularly fell for this statement:
"Creating change with people can help engage them in the process of change, so look for opportunities to empower and involve employees."
It is a great tool for me.

As Examination Officer in my school, I introduced an online version of the scores inputting mechanism (google sheet) so as to guide against endless time spending on physical insertion of scores of old style.
Some of my colleagues found it difficult due to one issue or the other. Eventually, we got it right and everybody was happy.
Lessons learned...

As mentioned before, Anna needs to retract our steps, review all the phases of the change program, and see where she made some mistakes.
She can still make it through to the end if she considers the hilltops of all the members of staff in the Cosmetics Company. People want to be recognised. -

We will continue to learn every day.
"When a change starts failing, we will recalculate our steps, and shift the paradigm. The end product must be a productive phenomenon."

I have been involving in a change project of examination pattern in my place of work since 2017. The project which I introduced while I was a member of the committee. I was appointed the chairman of the committee in 2018, and immediately I assumed the office, I carried everybody along. I also told them in one our sessions that everybody should be ready to key...

Jane should have conducted a survey to investigate what militated against the expected development before her appointment. By doing that, someone might have hinted her about the Program Manager's attitude to change from the beginning. Her first assignment would have been to deal with the situation before her approach.
-
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
In my own little capacity, before I delve into any changed policy, I do consultations, and I allow the majority to carry the day.
Listening, sincerely, is a skill that should not be toyed with as a leader. It brings one close to people than expected.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
Ethical culture must be revived in all organisations.
Good information.
-
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
The only reason why someone will prove difficult in accepting the changed policy may be that the person had been neglected in the decision making from the first beginning. The best solution is to shift the paradigm and give the person a sense of belonging.
-
I would have recommended that Anna used the first paragraph of the bulletin to appreciate all the members of staff (the rank and files). This will work for her as a magic. She should have also sought for their cooperation, and then highlight the next steps on the pipeline to change the face of the company.
All what she mentioned are not out of context. She...

The two scenarios are realistically true. Rachel is in a better place compared to where Graham is. The emotional level in scenerio 1 is better than the scenerio 2.
To me, the senior managers in scenerio 1 have done great things by carrying all the employees along, and also by making them fill among the decision makers.
Leaders need to bring themselves...

Good material.

The HR only needs to be carried along as a senior manager of human and resources. He can talk to other employees since most of them passed through him before they were employed.
Ann just need to calm down and relate well with everybody including the security guard of all their stores for the change to be diffused as speedily as expected.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
Introduction of change may not be a problem so far people are carried along at the very beginning. I'm a change agent, and I'm always proud of it.
I introduced a different pattern of collation of examination results of our students due to the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic. People keyed in, and there is no regret at all. Though, there was a little...

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
It is one thing to be a leader. It is a different challenge if one doesn't have leadership skills. Some leaders know all these steps, they have attended many seminars where they have been exposed to all these change steps. What I think is the major problem is our individual formation, background and expectation for life. Some leaders don't care of their...

Hi everyone, I'm Adekunle Asimiyu from Lagos, Nigeria.
I'm a teacher, and Head of my department. Managing people can be somehow difficult if it not properly done especially if there is a break in communication network. I need to learn how to manage people for my present position, and as well as for the preparation for future opportunities.
Thank you,...

I'm already working remotely. I think I only need to advance in technological and communication tools to aid more works and task accomplishment.

We use WhatsApp, google meet, and Zoom for easy communication. We will, however, explore other available apps for the smooth delivery of all our tasks.
Thank you.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
G-Suite has a fantastic conglomeration of apps for every purpose. Google sheet and Doc are the perfect apps I use mostly to communicate with my colleagues at work. Being an Examination Officer, I launched a google sheet for other teachers to insert their students' scores which has been fantastic with a little setback from some people that are not...

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
There is room for improvement in any method. At present, I'm using google sheet to communicate what to do especially in getting students' results ready while WhatsApp or phone calls have been in place for easy communication. I only look forward to seeing everybody be on the same pedestal.

Being Examination Officer at my place of work, I communicate very well with my colleagues and superiors. Sometimes, I get pissed off of some comments posted by some colleagues, rather than taking it personally, I ignored the messages at the moment to respond later calmly.
I'm still working on how to make the SMART method my watchword in everything I do, be...

Remote working is absolute okay for me. We have tried it before during the first phase of lockdown. It was enjoyable and reduced stress of committing from home to the place of work every day.
Electricity and internet connectivity may be my greatest challenges in carrying out my responsibilities.
Also, my rating will go thus:
flexibility (8)

Appreciate!

Good suggestion.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
(i) What advice might you give to help minimise some of the limitations of remote working for Lillian? She should work on her time-table and focus on what can make her fulfill all the righteousness.
(ii) How could she keep an even balance between work and home life?
A line of demarcation can be drawn between the two responsibilities. -
This current situation has paved the way for remote learning, we only need to work everything out for conduciveness.

Good for you.

Availability of uninterrupted electiricity and internet facilities may poss a challenge to me.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
COVID-19 has taught us to be flexible in everything we do including our works. Employers must also shift their paradigms from traditional method to remote working. This is the reality of this century which must be adhered to.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
Majority of the jobs are IT related ones. I won't have any issue with my employer so far we agree to the terms of reference.
-
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
From Lillian's response, it has shown that remote working will present her a good time to take care of her children, more time to complete the assigned task, more time to see to other personal things with the little issue of social interaction which can still actualize using social media.
I think it is a good idea.

Aptly crafted!

This is interesting.

1. Why are you interested in remote working? It increases my level of productivity.
2. What are your motivations to consider remote working? The present situation (COVID-19) has taught us to be flexible, and therefore, remote work may come to stay.

Working from home sincerely does not reduce the level of productivity. Rather, the productive time spending on commuting from home to the work place, especially in roads jammed with traffic like Nigeria, is judiciuolsy used for more personal thing. To me, individual should determine how he/she wants to spend his/her time after completing the expected schedule...

I will henceforth practice the mindfulness approach. Though, I don't have any issue with making myself known in any meeting. Any points needed to be communicated that the atmosphere does not allow me to mention will be communicated to my boss via e-mail or social media. I have done that a lot.

Practically speaking, the approach to issues in the company should be first addressed by the management. There are a lot of Ali in the company who don't have the courage to meet the management to express themselves.
Having said that, it showed from the conversation with the company manager that Ali seemed to be a timid person. She gets frightened by crowd....

They all spoke well and their methods are resonated well with me. I think what is paramount is the understanding the people one is dealing with, their emotional intelligence, and other factors so as to know how to deal with them.
One may do a disservice to oneself by assuming the perspective of a colleague who is always confrontational. If one gets to know... -
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
Personally, I don't like noisy places. If an argument ensues, I will rather keep quiet at that particular time for the atmosphere to get settled.
-
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
I partially agree with her. First and foremost, a rowdy session may not get settled at all until the meeting is abruptly suspended or closed. Therefore, there may not be any single minute to hit your mind out.
-
Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
In this kind of situation, I won't talk but I will make my point known immediately after the meeting to the appropriate quarters.
I will apologise to him and resend the message in an appropriate manner. I have learnt my lesson not to send a message in a hurry.
To prepare very well. I guess it was a phobia that can be overcome later. Better preparation...

Presentation-4: I will work on PowerPoint presentation and with little communication skill, I will deliver the message.

Face-to-face is then best method to use unless if the person is unavoidably absent. Then, e-mail message could be used as a method or even to follow up.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
Eye contact complements the body language approach. All in all, each approach will be appropriate for different people or audience.
Individually, we need to understand our audience before we adopt any approach.
For instance, you can't expect to use eye contact for someone who doesn't like to be looking at people's faces while talking. Will you then...

I'm a fan of all the platforms mentioned above. I used each of them based on the situation. Face-to-face discussion has reduced due to COVID-19 pandemic and more strength has been given to other forms.
They are all fantastic, and appropriate as forms of communication.
I think mobile phone calls and text messages should also be emphasized. Phone calls...

I saw myself in all the styles sincerely. From action-process-people-Idea styles. I think I need to blend the whole styles together and form my personality. I need to blend with the situation.
What I noticed about my personality now is that, I assume any style based on the assignment to be carried out.
Thank you.

I love being myself at everywhere. Personally, I don't like to play to the gallary, rather, I don't like unnecessary praises. I focus on what is expected to be done at a particular period of time.
I enjoy group work, but I don't appreciate too much supervision.
Thank you.

Sincerely, I saw myself in all the 4 styles, and it was so difficult for me to pinpoint a specific or dominant style among them.

Who are you? Is a question that seems easy but deeply difficult to answer.
Looking at the audio clips, it was clearly explained that individual needs to sit back and ask himself or herself more questions to reveal identity.

Asimiyu Adebowale ADEKUNLE made a comment
I adapt to one-on-one and group depending on the situation. I prefer using narrative to bring my point home to people in order to dowse their tension.
-
My candid advice will be that you should have it at the back of your mind that not everybody is ready to listen to you at a particular period of time. Therefore, calm down and express yourself. The few among them that listened while you were expressing yourself will then translate or interpret your message to others.
Your opinion does not count every time.
-
I'm mostly conscious when I'm sending messages via e-mail or any other social media. The person I send the message to may keep it for life and the effect will also there forever.
A colleague of mine did that to me some times ago. She reacted to a situation instead of her to seek for clarification. Empathic listening is the best solution.

I suspect Amina is suffering from listening challenge. She may need to undergo language learning so as to improve her acuity. When she understands what lecturers are saying, she will interpret the lectures very well.
I will suggest she joins study groups. If she can also select a mentor especially in her field. It will assist her to see beyond her...
