Human Relations Introduction Human-relations are an important aspect of our personal and professional lives. We are constantly striving to be relevant to our peers and to communicate effectively within our professional lives. It is hard to strike the balance between being aloof and over-sharing when it comes to interactions with others. Jia and Liden (2015) state that showing concern for others ensures smoother and less tumultuous interactions in our personal and professional lives. We all wish to be successful in our chosen paths but sometimes we lack the tools to make that possible. I will discuss the various strategies that I have learned that will help me to achieve further success in my personal and work life. Lamberton and Minor (2014) …show more content…
I am also motivated by the success stories out of our intensive care unit. The other day, a patient came back to visit and was completely unrecognizable. She introduced herself with a name that we were familiar with and were shocked to realize that this was the same person. We did not think that she would make it out of the intensive care unit alive and it was such a wonderful feeling to see her healthy. I believe it was also a testament of the meticulous nursing care she received while in the hospital. I am motivated at work by my pay rate and will willingly work overtime shifts that promise a big monetary return. I recently discovered that I am to be paid more because I am certified in critical care nursing. I am more motivated to enrich my practice when I see the …show more content…
Lamberton and Minor (2014) define self-disclosure as the ability to let other people know what you are thinking and feeling. In my professional life, I would suffer with a hard assignment as a nurse and always wonder why the other nurses were not helping me. It did not occur to me that I needed to let my feelings and thoughts be known so that I could get the help that I needed. Lack of self-disclosure can be a hindrance to successful human relations as it makes you isolated. Self- acceptance and a high self-esteem are important aspects of personal growth. Having a high self-esteem does not mean that you look down on others. Having a high self-esteem means that you value yourself greatly and you demand that same from the world. I have never had the highest self-esteem and after meditating on the chapter, I realized that low self-esteem was a great hindrance in my life. An important aspect of personal growth is emotional intelligence, which is defined by Lamberton and Minor (2014) as social awareness and sensitivity to certain situations. In my personal and professional life, I have had to use emotional intelligence to deal with many situations. During thanksgiving, we had conflicting plans with our different family members and we did not want to hurt any feelings. Using emotional intelligence, my husband and I gauged the situation and decided we would visit all the family members and stay for a while

¬The human condition fundamentally embodies the experience of what is essentially considered vital to ‘being a person’, including not only the physique of a human, but more specially their behaviour and mentality. Due to the immense number of perspectives and variations of ideologies texts can demonstrate, a responder’s comprehension of the human condition can be substantially developed to create a broader understanding of society. These traits are particularly established in Samuel Wagan Watson’s poems itinerant blue (2002) and the finder’s fee (2002), as well as Fyodor’s Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment which delve most into mortality, insight and uncertainty respectively. Thus, these texts predominantly examine the psychological aspect of the human condition and mark it as the most significant.
The book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie teaches people important lessons on how to deal with people not only in a professional area but with normal social situations as well. The book starts off with describing different situations on how to deal with people. For example humans should treat people with more appreciation and not just compliment them. People like to feel appreciated and sometimes it can lead a person to want to be more successful when they realize that some notices their hard work. Another example is when someone is trying to convince another person into doing something one always should realize what the other person wants first and talk to
Interpersonal communication, defined as the process by which people exchange information, feelings, and meaning through verbal and non-verbal messages, is an integral part of our everyday life (SkillsYouNeed, 2015). Through a combination of what we say, our choice of words and tone, and what we don’t, our body language, individuals exchange information, express opinions and emotions, and form and nurture relationships. Whether at home, in the workplace, or with strangers we are always communicating, so the ability to do so effectively is an asset. According to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers ranked the ability to communicate with persons inside and outside the organization as very important to extremely
These relationships help manage our emotions through constant interaction and provides an open line of communication whenever or wherever it may be needed. However, this poses a question; can humans survive without interpersonal relationships? According to the online scholarly article titled: “Interpersonal Relationships, Motivation, Engagement, and Achievement: Yields for Theory, Current Issues, and Educational Practice” we emphasize just how critical and essential the perks obtained through these relationships are. Through these relationships we “theorize the concepts of academic morality on the strong and healthy relationships students establish” (Martin, 2009). Through interactions and through the successful and unsuccessful relationships we develop throughout our lifetime, we accumulate
Self-esteem touches everything about a person’s belief about himself and his emotional state. One’s belief can be positive e.g. I love myself, I am a great person. On the other hand, it can be negative e.g. I am useless or I am too fat. Furthermore, emotional state include shame, pride, joy, despair etc.

“We have a deep desire to be known and to know others” (Donahue, 2015). According to Alder and Proctor (2016) from “Looking out Looking In” described self-disclosure as the process of deliberately revealing information about oneself and would not be normally known by others (p58). The main concept is if you don’t disclose enough to a person it can affect them and others as well. Main points I will be talking about are concepts and how it applied to relationships.

It is said that there is no such thing as failure, instead we have results. This was the idea that gave rise to the start of a company and later shooting of this video, in the outskirts of Addis Ababa in Africa. The video is about a shoe company called oliberte, which prides itself as the first company to be offered a fair trade certification. The founder, Mr. Tal Dehtiar has appreciated and employed great motivation methods in the growth of his company in a challenging environment (Oliberte, 2011). Motivation’s purpose is to initiate, guide and maintain goal oriented behaviors on the person that it is applied to. It can be driven by biological, social, emotional or cognitive forces. People are motivated to behave in a certain way because it is a core creational component of the human race. The two motivational theories that can be seen in this video are Mayo’s theory of human relations and Maslow and Herzberg’s theory of human needs (Latham, 2007).
Human condition is the ongoing balance between ambivalence, good and evil inside people and their environments. This balance and struggle between the three areas affects personal, emotional, spiritual and mental growth. Humans are somehow a balance between aggression, selfishness and lust mixed with compassion, love, trust and hope. Some of these characteristics include faith, birth, growth, peace, friendship, anger, corruption, hate, greed, pain, conflict, love and fear. This equilibrium allows for human experiences like pain and conflict to slip into both good and bad categories.
I should know my skills, talent, how I can impart my knowledge for problem solving. If I know my strengths and weakness if am fully aware of it then only I know what I can do and which is my problem area and thus I can work on it. Today even in class we performed personal effectiveness scale which gives an insight of things which we know but don’t realize can might hinder in our growth process. I scored around 8 in self-disclosure, 9 in openness to feedback and 12 in perceptiveness. That means for me it is easy to read others but I don’t let others read me. I don’t disclose myself till the point of time where I know the person fully. When I know the person is not going to judge me. I don’t let anybody to say anything about me. I am not open to feedback. I don’t like when anybody gives any feedback or comment on me. I fall in the category of lonely empathic that means that I am low in self-disclosure which means that my open space is less. I am low in openness to feedback which means is my blind space is low but my perceptiveness is comparatively high that means my hidden space is high. I tend to keep things to myself. I don’t let anyone know about it. For me it is easy to read others rather than to disclose myself. It can be harmful for my personal growth as it may hinder it. If I want to grow as a person it is important for me to work on my problem areas that are openness
