Ques4. Define Perception, Emotional Intelligence and its impact in one’s Personal and
Professional Life. (PASS)

Ans. Perception is an intellectual process where an individual organises and interpret his
sensory impressions to give meaning to the environment. Perception is very important
in understanding human behaviour because every person perceives the world and approaches
life problems differently. Whatever we see or feel is not necessarily the same as it really is.
When we buy something, it is not because it is the best, but because we take it to be the best .
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to understand, express and control our emotions.
Emotional intelligence helps us to build stronger relationships, succeed at school or work,
achieve our career and personal goals. It also helps us to connect with our feelings, turn
intentions into actions, and make informed decisions on what matters most to us.

Ques5. Why do you think Time has to be managed? (PASS)

Ans. Good time management allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time,
which leads to more free time, which lets you take advantage of learning opportunities, lowers
your stress, and helps you focus, which leads to more career success. Each benefit of time
management improves another aspect of your life.

Reasons time management is crucial: Time is limited. No matter how you slice it, there are only
24 hours in a day. That applies to you, and to your co-worker who only seems able to do half
the amount of work you do. But it also applies to the former co-worker who consistently
accomplishes more than you, and was promoted as a result. If you want to rise through the
ranks, you have to acknowledge the importance of finding a way to manage this limited
resource. You can accomplish more with less effort. When you learn to take control of your
time, you improve your ability to focus. And with increased focus comes enhanced efficiency,
because you don’t lose momentum. You’ll start to breeze through tasks more quickly (the
workday will also seem to fly by).

Ques6. Talk about your daily Routine & make a DAILY HALF HOUR TIME LOG SHEET.
(PASS)

Ans. Firstly I woke up at 7:30 a.m. then I go for a walk and do some exercise or yoga. When I
came back home, I freshen up and eat my breakfast at 9.30 a.m. after that I make my bed and
do some morning skincare routine and make myself ready by sharp 1 p.m. to go for frankfinn
institute for studies there I take classes for 2 hours from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. After returning home
at 5 p.m. I take my lunch then I help my mother in some house work and use my smartphone
for some time Then I eat my dinner at 9.30 p.m. and after that I go to bed at 10:30 PM.

Ques7. What are the Time wasters and how to overcome them? (PASS)
Ans.
a. Social media - social media is one of the biggest time-wasters for professionals in any
work environment. You can log onto social media platforms via any device, including
your phone and computer, meaning such distractions are highly accessible regardless of
where you are and what you're doing at a given moment.
b. Interruptions - It's common for professionals to face a variety of interruptions
throughout their workday, including those from email notifications, calls, text messages
and coworkers stopping by to ask a question.
c. Multitasking - Many professionals believe that multitasking—or the act of working on
multiple tasks simultaneously—can help them save time and accomplish their goals
more efficiently.
d. Working without a plan - As professionals often face many tasks throughout a single
workday, it's important to plan strategically.
e. Taking on coworkers' tasks - In a collaborative work environment, it's common for
professionals to help coworkers by taking on some of their responsibilities.
f. Disorganization - Working in a cluttered environment can lead to higher rates of
inefficiency.
g. Procrastination - When professionals procrastinate completing key to-do list items, they
may waste more time than otherwise.
h. Unnecessary meetings - Meetings aren't always necessary. Sometimes, the information
communicated in a meeting can be relayed through alternative methods like email,
instant messages or memos.
i. Equipment issues - Many professionals use equipment such as computers, tablets and
phones to perform their tasks on a regular basis. With this, when equipment
malfunctions, it can create significant delays to workflow and result in inefficiency.

Ques8. During your class Activity how you manage your time, What Sort of Typical barriers
you face and how you overcome them. (PASS)

Ans. We’ve all been there: a class in high school or college that bored us to death. We felt
disengaged and had a hard time finishing strong. Boredom is a typical barrier to learning. These
are the barriers that demotivate people and deprive them of the opportunity to know what
they should know.
As education continues post-graduation, barriers to learning don’t go away. They are still there
in corporate training or any other type of adult learning. So, it’s important to know how to
handle the barriers and achieve better results. In this article, we’ll explain how to recognize and
address learning barriers so that nothing could stop your learners from developing.
You can go through all of them with us, or you can jump right to the barriers that are especially
relevant for you.

Ques9. Define Leadership. (PASS)

Ans. Leadership, both as a research area and as a practical skill, encompasses the ability of an
individual, group or organization to "lead", influence or guide other individuals, teams, or entire
organizations. The word "leadership" often gets viewed as a contested term. Specialist
literature debates various viewpoints on the concept, sometimes contrasting Eastern and
Western approaches to leadership, and also (within the West) North American versus European
approaches.
U.S. academic environments define leadership as "a process of social influence in which a
person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common and ethical
task". In other words, leadership can be defined as an influential power-relationship in which
the power of one party (the "leader") promotes movement/change in others (the "followers").

Ques10. What are the 7 functions of Leadership? (PASS)

Ans.
a. Setting goals - A leader's most important function is to set goals for team members to
encourage them to work confidently and enthusiastically.
b. Organizing - A leader's other important function is to organize the group of people into
a task which they can perform effectively.
c. Take initiatives - One of the important functions of leaders is to take initiatives in the
team's interest or the organization.
d. Cooperation among employees - Leaders have to work to align the interests of the
individuals with the organization.
e. Motivation and direction - Motivating and showing the right direction to the team or
the individual is the primary function of the leader.
f. Liaison between workers and management - A leader plays a very important role in
acting as a link between workers and the management.
g. Policy making - Policy making is a very important function of a leader for the smooth
functioning of the work. The policies leaders make include the rules to follow for
effective delivery of operations of the work.

Ques11. What are the qualities of Leadership? (PASS)

Ans.
a. Authenticity - The quality of being genuine or real is essential in today’s climate, says
Lauren Caggiano, the founder of New Heights Fitness, a gym that caters to beginners in
Fort Wayne, Indiana. Authenticity means “showing up as a whole human —not
compartmentalizing — and being honest about your struggles,” she adds.
b. Compassion - Understanding and appreciating others – especially your employees and
colleagues – makes compassion an important quality for a founder. Brittany Coleman,
the Austin, Texas-based CEO of Tough Cutie, a line of hiking socks designed for women,
shares that “there is nothing more humbling than being an entrepreneur.”
c. Curiosity - Entrepreneurship involves a steep learning curve, so curiosity and a desire to
learn are key qualities for a CEO to possess. Alexandra Schuman, the founder of
Barometer XP, a Washington, D.C., company that uses games and play to build stronger
workplace cultures, sees that firsthand. “So much of leadership involves having to
navigate situations that are completely new to you, and remaining confident and
effective while doing so,” she says.
d. Grace - Sometimes a bit of kindness, understanding and general goodwill will go a long
way. “We live in a noisy and increasingly demanding world,” says Lauren D’Souza,
founder of Ujjo, a line of hot sauces for coffee and other beverages. “That makes it easy
to fall into the mindset that we’re constantly not doing enough.”

Ques12. Why is leadership important? State the 5 reasons which make leadership
important. (PASS)

Ans. Leaders provide guidance, inspiration, and motivation when achieving goals. They help to
create a vision and rally people around a common cause. Leaders possess the necessary skills
and knowledge to make informed decisions and solve problems effectively.
1. IMPROVES COMMUNICATION
One of the most important duties of a leader is to facilitate communication within the
workplace. Clear and concise communication is essential for any team to function correctly.
Effective leaders will make it a point to keep lines of communication open at all times and
create an open and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their
ideas. By ensuring employees have a forum to voice their concerns and opinions, a leader can
encourage a work culture where new ideas are welcome, and misunderstandings are avoided.
2. CREATES A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT
Leaders have a profound impact on their overall work environment. They create an atmosphere
of trust and respect, which in turn fosters creativity and collaboration. Employee morale is also
higher in workplaces with strong management, leading to greater motivation.
3. IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY
An effective leader makes all the difference in a team’s productivity. When employees feel
valued and motivated, they are more likely to be productive. On the other hand, a poor leader
can cause employees to become disengaged and uninterested in their work. A team that is led
effectively will be more productive, efficient, and successful overall.

4. INCREASES EFFICIENCY
A productive leader can help to improve efficiency by getting the most out of their team.
Leaders can help improve efficiency by ensuring everyone is working towards the same goal
and doing what they do best. They can provide guidance and direction and delegate tasks to
make the most of everyone’s strengths.
5. DECREASES MISTAKES
A capable leader is essential for any workplace that wants to minimize mistakes and run
smoothly, especially important in high-pressure environments where mistakes can have serious
consequences. A leader needs to be able to identify potential problems early on and head them
off to avoid costly mistakes.

Ques13. What do you understand by open Self Personality? (PASS)

Ans. Open self-personality is a personality in which a person is well aware of his own strengths,
weaknesses, his abilities and other people around him- can be his team members or ones he
interacts with- are well aware of those. An open personality is not mysterious or hidden or even
deluded.

also be used to improve communication and relationships.

Ques15. Define the Term Transactional Analysis (PASS)

Ans. TA (Transactional Analysis) is not only post-Freudian, but, according to its founder's
wishes, consciously extra-Freudian. That is to say that, while it has its roots in psychoanalysis,
since Berne was a psychoanalytically-trained psychiatrist, it was designed as a dissenting branch
of psychoanalysis in that it put its emphasis on transactional rather than "psycho-" analysis.

With its focus on transactions, TA shifted the attention from internal psychological dynamics to
the dynamics contained in people's interactions. Rather than believing that increasing
awareness of the contents of unconsciously held ideas was the therapeutic path, TA
concentrated on the content of people's interactions with each other. Changing these
interactions was TA's path to solving emotional problems.

TA also differs from Freudian analysis in explaining that an individual's final emotional state is
the result of inner dialogue between different parts of the psyche, as opposed to the Freudian
hypothesis that imagery is the overriding determinant of inner emotional state. (For example,
depression may be due to ongoing critical verbal messages from the inner Parent to the inner
Child.) Berne believed that it is relatively easy to identify these inner dialogues and that the
ability to do so is parentally suppressed in early childhood.

Ques16. Define Four Life Stroke Position and its impact while Working in Team. (PASS)

Ans. There are four life stroke positions:

1. I am OK, you are OK - Healthy, confident and optimistic attitude towards self and others.
2. I am OK, you are not OK - I am better and you are not good.
3. I am not OK, you are OK - Feeling powerless, depressed and inferior.
4. I am not OK, you are not OK - healthy pessimistic attitude towards self and others.

These four life stocks are very impactful for working in a team, if we have life stroke, I'm not ok
you are not Ok then we feel unhealthy and pessimistic. If we have of life stroke of, I am not ok,
you are ok then we feel powerless and depressed. If we have life stroke of, I am ok, you are not
ok then we feel others are less than us and we are better than others. If we have life stroke, I
am ok, you are ok then we will able to communicate confidently and we will have an optimistic
attitude towards others.
