How The Ownership Cycle Works Once you have made a decision, events unfold, and results appear. How we react to them depends on our underlying mindset. This drives what we Choose to Observe. We then React to our observations by telling ourselves something (self-communication) and to others (communication to others). We Reflect on these observations and our communication, and what others around us said and did in response. This reflection can occur immediately after the result, which partly drives what we say and do on the spot, and also thereafter. In so doing, we Learn. The Cycle of Observe – React – Learn varies between individuals and is self-perpetuating. The Ownership Cycle frames the exact questions you need to ask yourself in sequence, so that you …show more content…
We then communicate our conclusions in some way – in our body language, spoken response, or other action. Our Communication has 2 directions: • Communication to Self: What we choose to tell ourselves, consciously or subconsciously • Communication to Others: What we Do and Say to others Healthy Ownership of Communication is based on the 5 Key Aspects. Perhaps the most important Aspect in this role is the first one, Awareness. Awareness in the Cycle is based on observation: the act of watching and listening. Listening Well has been consistently shown to be one of the most powerful tools in communication; great negotiators, salesmen, leaders and counsellors demonstrate this every time they interact in their job. Ownership of Reality makes you process the information based on exactly what is observed – no more, and no less. No imaginary steps, insults or wishful thinking. You then consider the possible conclusions, pick the best one, and then pick the best response. Conversely, a lack of any of the 5 Key Aspects can lead to one or more of the following: • Inattention (do not see or hear) • Selective attention (see or hear only what I choose to
the truth behind them. An example of this is the way in which we learn
Everyone on the planet does not experience the same things. They come from different countries, racial and ethnic groups, socio-economic statuses, environments, and many other factors that influence how a person is raised and grows throughout life. Therefore, everyone perceives reality in different ways. Our beliefs and expectations about reality the world can also influence how we experience reality. According to Psychology Today, there are many things that people do that distort reality. For example, the way that people focus their attention can alter their perceptions. When a person has a belief they often only look for evidence that supports their belief and disregard evidence that contradicts their belief. This is called conformation bias. People see things as they want to see them, even if there is evidence to discredit their beliefs. One way for a person to avoid conformation bias is to examine evidence that does not support their belief instead of just ignoring it. This can make a person view the world around them more objectively. Another thing that people do that distorts their reality is that they reconstruct their memories. People often cannot fully remember their memories. These
The Importance of Listening for Professional and Personal Relationships Listening is essential for communication, yet is a skill in which most are lacking. Though we are listening constantly, knowing what to listen to requires an enormous amount of discipline and practice, which is vital for communicating effectively. Learning to listen will benefit all relationships from professional to personal and not being able to listen effectively can cause these relationships to deteriorate. “Indeed, although aware of the instrumentality of listening, even trained communicators often fail to listen correctly or at opportune times” (Cline, 2013). In order for all of areas of communication in an individual to flourish, listening must be emphasized.
Ownership and self (identity) are commonly joined together under one thought: ownership can very well define a person’s identity. I believe that is to be true. It is possible to own something physically whether that is a phone, a computer, a car etc., or something that simply exists within our minds such as a thought (idea), a concept or whatever it may be. However, “To own” – a verb – doesn’t necessarily mean to own or have something, it also means to know something or that it is a part of you or “admit or acknowledge that something is the case or that one feels a certain way”- Google. Affluential philosophers have argued the various ways of how to express ownership and possession that shows its universality on this well rounded topic. It’s claimed that it builds up moral character and denounced by its undesirable and detrimental effects – good or evil. It is, in fact, that ownership and its intricacy builds both and individual self-comprehension and group- identity.
Some of the most impoverished communities often have the greatest sense of gratitude and thankfulness for what they have, extending beyond material items. They are thankful for the friends, families, religions, as well as skills they obtain, and tend not to focus on the material items they are lacking. Ownership can be seen as the act, state, or right, of possessing something and is well defined by both Plato, who claims owning objects is detrimental to a person’s character, and Jean-Paul Sartre who proposes that ownership extends beyond objects. Skills and qualities that you posses are more valuable than tangible goods and allow you to fully develop a good, moral, character and sense of self. An example of someone who is lacking many tangible
While the use of sense perception as the basis for the pursuit of knowledge is critical, it is dependent on other tools or ways of knowing to ensure that knowledge is being pursued. Without emotion and logic, sense perception is very restricted because there is no knowledge to be interpreted and pursued. It is the use of multiple ways of knowing that allow knowledge situations to not be just nails, but to exist in different forms and interpretations. Therefore, the combined use of ways of knowing is critical to the pursuit of knowledge.
Communication in all relationship can be successful when our listener get the message that we want to convey and it is not so much about what we want to say. Listening is a unique process because it involves psychological and voluntary process that goes beyond simply reacting to sounds. It includes understanding, analyzing, evaluating, and responding. As a human, we will use different listening styles, depending on our preferences and purposes. Listening styles refer to the different ways people listen and analyze the content of a conversation. Usually, these styles either have to do with the way listeners choose to receive the message or with how they analyze the message. Listening is very important because we listen in order to establish and communicate power. There are few types of listening that can be used in order to communicate effectively.
Communication is the process of conveying information to each another using words, actions, or by writing the information down to be read by another person. Communication is something that most people do at some point each day, and is an important part of life especially in a working environment. “The concept of communication is an essential part of every profession, and it is required to foster and maintain healthy relationships”( Jasmine, 2009, para. 1).
language can allow us to communicate an exact idea or to persuade others to one
There are four steps in the process of modeling for observational learning. They are attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Attention is when you focus on what the person you are observing is doing. Retention is remembering what you observed. Reproduction is performing the behavior you observed, and motivation is wanting to actually do the behavior.(www.courses.lumenlearning.com) The psychologist that most strongly identifies with observational learning is Albert Bandura. He believed that observational learning was the result of cognitive processes that are, “actively judgemental and constructive,” not merely “mechanical copying.”(Bandura) According to Bandura there are three different models to observational learning. They are live model which is behavior in person, verbal model which is not doing a behavior but explaining or describing it, and symbolic model is when people or fictional characters demonstrating behaviors in books,

Most importantly, it is vital to know that not all communication will end with a positive result and to know when a specific communication needs to be stopped so there are not long term effects of one bad communication. Being a well-rounded communicator is not only vital for a successful career but can also be the difference in promotions and raises.
Every business consists of a variety of communication activities such as listening, speaking, questioning, gathering and participating in small work groups. The listening skill is one of the most important aspects of communication process. It helps to understand and read the other person’s message. Effective listening skills create positive workplace relationships which influence our opinions and responsiveness to one another.
Communication is essential in education, training and everyday life. It's a means by which a thought is transferred from one person to another. Effective communication occurs when the intended meaning of the source and the perceived meaning of the receiver are virtually the same, Schemerhorn (2005).
Communication is one of the most important factors in our lives. It dictates the relationships formed with the individuals in personal and professional lives. Effective communication provides a foundation for trust and respect to grow. It also helps better understand a person and the context of the conversation. Individuals often believe that their communication skills are much better than what they actually are. Communication appears effortless; however, much of what two people discuss gets misunderstood, thus leading to conflicts and distress. To communicate effectively, one must understand the emotion behind the information being said. Knowing how to communicate effectively can improve relationships one has at home, work and in social affairs. Understanding communication skills such as; listening, non-verbal communication and managing stress can help better the relationships one has with others.
The first skill for managers to understand and practice is communications, because it is the foundation for all actions in the workplace and it allows the supervisor or manager an opportunity to build relationships with the overall workgroup without alienating anyone in the work environment (Roper, 2005). As a manager it is very important to be able to communicate effectively. As Robert Kent, former dean of Harvard Business School has said, “In business, communication is everything” (Blalock, 2005). The Wisconsin Business School Alumni Association recently reported that managers spend 75 percent to 80 percent of their time communicating (Blalock, 2005). Communication skills are critical for success in an organization. Successful managers communicate to where their targeted audience understands (Froschheiser, 2010). Managers need to give positive and negative feedback to their employees to let them know their strengths and weaknesses and where they n...
