16. 2.2 Re-Active and Pro-Active
Re-Active People:
They focus on the weakness of other People, and they do
action once the problem happen. They can’t think about future
but they are focusing one what in their hand only.
Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their
physical environment. They find external sources to blame for
their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't,
it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the
weather."
17. Pro-Active People:
They thing about what they can do with their resources, They
have Vision and they try to achieve it, Also they focus on the
things for future.
The proactive people focus their energies and attention on the
things which they can change for the better as per their vision.

may be and having initiative and responsibility to make things
happen and The ability to choose your response to a particular
situation
Responsibility =>
Response + Ability
19. Three Types of People

• People who watch things happen.
• People who wonder…what happened
20. 2.3 Building Trust and Believability
Importance of Trust and Believability:
“Under conditions of High Trust with right believes, problem
solving tends to be Creative and Productive. Under conditions
of Low Trust, problem solving tends to be degenerative and
ineffective.”
In contrast, in High Trust Groups there is less socially
generated uncertainty and problems are solved more
effectively.” in Low Trust Groups, interpersonal relationships
interfere with and distort perceptions of the problem.
21. Where Do We Trust?
Management
Social Trust: It happen between people in the life activities.
Trust in Organizations : It happen between organization and
those they serve (Employees)
Intra - Organizational Trust: it happen within Organization’s
Departments.
Inter- Organizational Trust : It happen between different
Organization.
22. Importance of Trust within Organizations
“Although an organization obviously cannot succeed without
high levels of trust between members, most aggressive
companies do little to actively build trust.
The typical corporation spends huge sums of money training
its managers in interpersonal skills, but pays lip service to the
critical issue of trust.”
24. 2.4 Inter-Team Conflicts
Conflict can be pretty much inevitable when you work with
others. People have different viewpoints and under the right
set of circumstances, those differences escalate to conflict.
You can choose to:
Ignore it.
Complain about it.
Blame someone for it.
Try to deal with it through hints & suggestions.
Try to direct clarify what is going on.
Attempt to reach a resolution through common
Techniques.
25. Management
Three-stage process below is a form of mediation process,
which helps Team Members to do:
Step 01: Prepare for Resolution:
Acknowledge the Conflict
Discuss the Impact
Agree to a cooperate process
Agree to communicate (Active Listening)
26. Management
Step 02: Understand the Situation:
Clarify People’s Positions
List of facts, assumptions and beliefs underlying position
Analyze in Smaller Groups
Convene back as a Team
27. Step 03: Reach Agreement:
Management
Now that all parties understand the others’ positions, the team
must decide what decision or course of action to take. With
the facts and assumptions considered. It’s easier to see the best
of action and reach agreement.
