    The importance of feedback

    Feedback provides useful insights on a business whether its a criticism or a positive feedback. because from a critic, you either improve or upgrade, and if its a positive feedback, it boosts your self esteem to want to do or give your the best always.

    Why understanding yourself is important

    I think self discovery isimportant as a manager because it guides you to knowing your strengths and weaknesses and only by knowing yourself do you have room to know others and respect them and also you will know how to manage your business

    Management styles

    Both management styles are important because for a positive outcome in a business

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Are you people-focused, or task-focused?

    As a manager both were applicable, because for the task to be completed successfully, me and my colleagues also we had to be on the same page

    The capabilities of a multinational corporation

    I think the most challenging capabilities to manage for an MNE in an international setting as listed above, are
    HRM, Research and development and sales & marketing and branding, because of different cultures, language and regulations in different countries.

    An example of bad HR practice

    TADA international, is governed under poor HR practices and policies, like,
    Poor talent management, it's discriminating to it's employees when it top ranks employees based on social connection, and not qualifications, and lacks diversity, and this affect the moral of it's employees and destroys TADAs brand image both locally and internationally.

    The matching model and influential model

    This is a bit confusing to me because of the global recession issue.. Anyways, I feel like, the matching model (Hard HRM) is more appropriate when managing the issues of the global recession, in terms of results orientation and since it's cost effective. Although the influential model is more considerate to employees, in regards to their welfare, which...

    IHRM in different regions

    In my country, mostly, you send your resume, if you reach their qualifications, your appointed for an interview, and if your chosen your given a three months contract, so they can survey your work, after that if they are happy with your competence, your given a full term contact, that includes your benefits packages and wages.

    Human resource management in international business

    I think HRM and IHRM have similar tasks, only that one is international (IHRM) and the other one domestic (HRM), making the international one more broader and a bit complex in task as compared to the domestic one.

    What is remote working?

    I am interested in remote working because I am a freelancer, it's flexible and it allows me to spend time with my family and be productive life wise.
    The challenges I get is sometimes it's a bit lonely, and it needs alot of discipline in deadlines or it can be messy in terms of noice or concentration.

    Do you agree?

    Ali's solution

    Well explained and noted. Thank you very much.
    I will definitely use this useful tips.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    What should Ali do?

    I think Ali should follow the advice of her manager, and work on her communication skills. First she should write down her points, practice her speech, and in the meeting be confident and if incase she gets interrupted, at the end of the meeting she should air her points out.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Why challenging conversations are good

    I used to validate someone by repeating what I heard them say...but I believe from today I will do that and use this other powerful argument tool... “Thanks for raising this issue. I’m uncomfortable with where we’re heading and would feel better if we could talk it through as a team.”
    Interesting!

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Could you communicate like that?

    I agree with Jennifer's feedback, and when I'm in such a situation I would implement her suggestions.

    Why you need good communication at work

    Hierarchy isn't really that important in that people are people. Hmmm.. great lesson. When I'm speaking to the CEO I speak to ceo not a person, so I'm often tensed and sometimes Don't end up even finishing my discussion...or point. Great lesson there. And also listening first.
    Thanks!!

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    How could you communicate better?

    My typical week, consists of all communication platforms, from emails, social media platforms and walk in clients so I guess that means ,face to face. The part which I need to improve is the social media platforms, because unlike other people who think it's the easiest, I feel like it's the most difficult part.

    Do you see yourself differently now?

    I have learnt a lot and seen where I need to change in my communication process, my presentation as well, thanks to this tutorial.

    Your communication preferences

    Presentation 1 ( before the actual presentation I would ask my colleagues to assist me.)

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Identifying your communication goals

    For Ali, I suggest first putting her thoughts on pen and paper as she is used to, and then practice her pen and paper with a colleague or friend before doing a face to face with a client. On the actual meeting, she should check her breaths, be comfortable, do eye contact and be confident.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Your suggestions

    I would have handled them in the same way.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    What's the best approach to communicating?

    Great experience on the interactive process. Learnt something new.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Who are you communicating with?

    For the tutors I will do a formal presentation of the app, but for the clients/students I will use a more personable approach, since the whole idea is to get them excited about the app and to use it.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Preparing to communicate

    I like all the three techniques, I have been using them but I always find it hard to do the eye contact technique for long, but as taught I will continue practicing it till I perfection it.

    What different ways do people communicate at work?

    With my job post, I have used all.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    What’s your style?

    Although I do both written and oral communication I prefer one on one communication. I have realised that for a Positive and effective communication, it's important to give a response rather than a reaction which I have done often especially when confronted, I tend to defend myself and I have discovered that I am an INFP...(Idealistic, loyal to their values...

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    How do other people communicate?

    In my experience, I believe it's important to be yourself and professional, otherwise the not so real side of you feels like your living a lie, and yet if your not professional at work, your work relationships tend to stray, which it's not a good thing. For a new job, I start by observing and learning the way around and people before diving in to the I know...

    Communication styles

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Who are you?

    Who am I?
    Hmm, this exercise was interesting. The who are you question is still in my head. In so many ways, I one gets a perfect understanding of who they are and a deeper meaning of yourself. On asking the other person who they are, it felt as though I was probing, but the results brought a positive communication outcome.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    How do you like to communicate?

    Honestly even though sometimes I can be results oriented, I prefer a one on one communication style, because it feels as though I'm understanding the other person better, and vise versa. Although some questions on how I'd like to communicate exercise, I would also say it depends on the situation at hand.

  • Ann Mukima made a comment
    Why is it important to communicate well?

    I believe communicating well is very important in any situation, especially if the expected results should be positive. Quite often when a negative subject is addressed to us, our first reaction is to protect ourselves, so we end up reacting to the subject in defense, which leads to a negative outcome, instead of listening, then analyzing the situation and...
