Rapport
33

◻ Rapport is the quality of


harmony, recognition and
mutual acceptance that
exists between people
when they are at ease with
one another and where
communication is occurring
easily.
◻ This help to enhance the
interpersonal
communication effectively

16
Why use this?
34

◻ In general, we gravitate towards


people that we consider similar to
us, because people like people who
are like themselves - like likes like.
◻ In rapport the common ground or
similarities are emphasized and the
differences are minimized.

17
35
◻ Rapport is
an essential
basis for
successful
communicati

particularly
in managing
EI- if there is
no rapport

36
RAPPORT IS A SKILL

We naturally experience rapport with close


friends or in the company of those with
whom we share an intense common
interest.

19
37

However the ability to create rapport is a skill that can be learned


and which can be used to facilitate our relationship with anybody,
in any setting, and even with those with whom we profoundly
disagree. 20

HOW TO USE THIS ?


21
How to use this
39

◻ Among the many ways of creating rapport the


most effective are
◻ By subtly matching non-verbal communication
- especially voice patterns and eye contact
patterns
◻ By developing a genuine interest in the other
person and in their model of the world.

22
Matching non-verbal
40
communication
◻ Non-verbal rapport using the sound of your voice
and your eye contact pattern is the quickest and
most useful way to begin. Do as little as is
necessary to achieve rapport, since it must be very
subtle and out of the other person's awareness.
And rarely, if ever, match gestures.
◻ Step 1: Match them by subtly matching their non-
verbal behaviour. (This is sometimes called
'pacing'.)
◻ Step 2: 'Lead' by making a small non-matching
change in your own non-verbal behaviour. If they
follow (typically 20-60 seconds later) with a similar
shift then you have rapport. If not go back and
repeat Step 1.

Listen actively
● Prepare to listen by
focusing on the
participant
● Control and eliminate
distractions so that you
can focus on the
message. Don’t do
anything else (writing,
reading, email) but listen
● Establish appropriate
eye contact to show
interest
● See listening as an
opportunity to get
information, share
another’s views, and
broaden your own
knowledge COPYRIGHT RESERVED AZMI A BAKAR 2010

Listen actively
43

◻ Create a need to listen by


thinking about what you can
get ( feedback) from the
participant
◻ Set aside the time to listen
so that you won’t feel rushed
or become distracted by
other responsibilities
◻ Don’t prejudge the
message based on who is
delivering it. Focus instead
on the content of the
message.
◻ Monitor the way you listen
by asking yourself questions
such as “Did I really
understand their concern or
was I thinking about what I
was going to say next”? “Was
there information I missed
because I allowed myself to
become

44
Listen Actively
• Stephen Covey in The Seven Habits of
Highly Effective People says: “Most people
do not listen with the intent to understand;
They listen with the intent to reply”.
• There are few level of listening
▫ Ignoring the other person: not listening at all
▫ Pretending to listen: using yeah or uh-uh
without sincerity
▫ Selective listening; hearing only certain part of
conversation
▫ Attentive listening; paying attention to the
words that are being said
▫ Active listening; listening with the intent to
understand
27
45
● Active listening means listen
with your ear, your eyes and
your heart.
● You listen for content, for
meaning and for feeling.
● You listen for behavior, using
your right and left brain, your
intuition and your sense.
● You listen for the fact/content
and the emotion behind the
content.

TIM E WASTERS 22
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THEM? (MAJOR TIME WASTERS)

Disorganisation: How to organise yourself?

Everybody has their own way of working – what works for


some doesn’t work for others. Whatever you do:

•Be clear about what your are doing and why – should you be
doing it in the first place?
•Try to arrange your work in a manageable chunks
•Create a weekly or daily plan to give yourself – sufficient lead in
time and an overall view of what you have to achieve
•Be realistic – you can only do so much in a day
•Review your plan throughout the day
•If the pressure is on consider what you can drop

SEVEN Tips for Dealing with 23
Interruptions

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


TIP 1: It's All in the
Response
How you respond to someone will go a long
way in maintaining the relationship.
Instead of snapping at them or taking their
head off, take a few seconds to respond in an
empathetic and sincere way, and then offer an
alternative time to talk.
If it's a coworker, maybe the two of you could
meet up over a lunch or at break time.
If it's a personal relationship, offer to catch up
with them in fifteen minutes or another
appropriate amount of time

47
TIP 2: Discourage People from 24
Interrupting

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


In order to let coworkers know that you're
busy, you may want to close your door (if
you're in an office) or post a sign on the
outside of your cubicle requesting no
interruptions.
Or you might consider hanging a white
board or message pad on the outside wall
for people to leave their messages when
you're otherwise engaged.
If this doesn't work, you may need to
hold up a hand, shake your head and/or
even whisper "Not now."

48
TIP 3: Don't Allow Yourself to be 25
Interrupted

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


If you have someone at your job that never seems to take
the hint, then maybe you should just keep on working.
Glance up, smile and then go back to work.
You may want to agree occasionally as you continue to
power through the project you're working on, but don't
slow down.

49
TIP 4: Make Your Work Area Uninteresting to Others ( But
not , mess up your working place) 26
Don't make your cubicle or

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


office a haven for escape.
If you have a comfortable
space with nice chairs,
beautiful plants, and a
container filled with candy,
you're just asking for
visitors.
Instead make your space
all about function. Yes, you
can have personal items,
but don't make it so inviting
that others want to join you

50
TIP 5: Get a Move On
27
If there are coworkers who
regularly interrupt because

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


that's the way they operate,
then move.
Not to a new cubicle or office,
but when they approach.
If you stand up and walk
away or excuse yourself to go
to the restroom, you
effectively cut off their ability
to interrupt you

51
TIP 6: It's the Boss 28

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


What happens if the person who always interrupts is your boss?
Now your diplomacy skills will really come into play.
If you have a boss who always interrupts your work, you can
continue to allow it to happen or you can help him understand his
impact on your ability to complete your work.
Acknowledge his need to speak with you while pointing out the
deadline he has placed on your project then suggest the two of you
talk later or that he give you an extension on your deadline

52
29

TIP 7: Just Say ""No""

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


You may find that at the end of the day, there are
people who just don't get it.
For those who regularly interrupt without thinking,
sit them down and ask them not to.
You don't have to be mean, just firm.
Let them know that you enjoy speaking with them,
but they need to learn to be considerate of your
time

53
30

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


Listen to the request respectfully.
Do not interrupt the speaker
Phrase your "no" as simply as
possible. Don't raise your voice or
become upset, simply say that you
cannot help this time. When you say
no, say it in a confident, well
modulated voice to sound more
straightforward
54
31

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


Don't feel obligated to explain. You have your
reasons and they may not be ones you wish to
discuss.
If this is the case, try saying something like, "I'm
just not able to." Leave it at that - if you must,
change the subject, or say, "I'm sorry, but I need
to go.“
Explain simply, and only if you wish to do so. If
the case really is one that you feel okay
explaining, make your explanation as simple as
possible

55
32

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


Stand firm. If the requestor does not want to
accept your answer, tell him or her that your
mind is made up and that you will not change it
If your refusal upsets someone, remain calm
and, if possible, remove yourself from the
situation
Do not lie when you explain why your answer is
no
Preface your 'NO' by saying 'I understand what
you are saying' before refusing - it helps if
people feel empathy
56
33

Copy right reserved Azmi Hj Abu Bakar 2008


A Combination of Proactive and creative
Being proactive means taking conscious control
over your life, setting goals and working to
achieve them.
Instead of reacting to events and waiting for
opportunities, you go out and create your own
events and opportunities.
Creativity is the ability to imagine or invent
new ideas by combining, changing, or
reapplying existing ideas.
.

57
ANALYZING YOUR HABIT 34
Time management is an essential skill that helps you

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


keep your work under control, at the same time that it
helps you keep stress to a minimum.
We would all love to have an extra couple of hours in
every day. Seeing as that is impossible, we need to
work smarter on things that have the highest priority,
and then creating a schedule that reflects our work
and personal priorities.
With this in place, we can work in a focused and
effective way, and really start achieving those goals,
dreams and ambitions we care so much about

TH E I MPORTAN C E OF
TIM E PLANNIN G
Turning your intentions into reality involves planning:

Break large task into manageable chunks


Make an action plan
Use plan to decide on what to do and by
whom and when?
Remember that plan can change

51
62
39
5 STEPS IN PLANNI NG
YOUR TI M E
How to plan your time

List all non-routine but important


actions/activities – to do list
Determine realistic deadlines
Prioritise
Delegate
Schedule suitable time

52
63
Preparing a To-Do List 40

The solution is often simple:


Write down the tasks that face you, and if they are
large, break them down into their component
elements.
If these still seem large, break them down again.
Do this until you have listed everything that you
have To-Do.

64
41

Copyright reserved Azmi A Bakar 2010


Once you have done this, run
through these jobs allocating
priorities from A (very important) to F
(unimportant).
If too many tasks have a high priority,
run through the list again and demote
the less important ones.
Once you have done this, rewrite the
list in priority order.

65
Using Your To-Do Lists 42
Different people use To-Do Lists in different ways in
different situations: if you are in a sales-type role, a good
way of motivating yourself is to keep your list relatively
short and aim to complete it every day.

In an operational role, or if tasks are large or dependent on


too many other people, then it may be better to keep one
list and 'chip away' at it. It may be that you carry
unimportant jobs from one To-Do List to the next.

You may not be able to complete some very low priority


jobs for several months. Only worry about this if you need
to - if you are running up against a deadline for them, raise
their priority.

66
43
Key points:
Prioritized To-Do Lists are fundamentally
important to efficient work. If you use To-Do
Lists, you will ensure that:
You remember to carry out all necessary tasks
You tackle the most important jobs first, and do
not waste time on trivial tasks.
You do not get stressed by a large number of
unimportant jobs.

67
Effective Scheduling 44
- Planning to Make the Best Use of Your Time

Scheduling is the process by which you look at the time


available to you, and plan how you will use it to achieve
the goals you have identified.
By using a schedule properly, you can:
Understand what you can realistically achieve with your time
Plan to make the best use of the time available
Leave enough time for things you absolutely must do
Preserve contingency time to handle 'the unexpected', and
Minimize stress by avoiding over-commitment to yourself and
others.

68
Scheduling is best done on a regular basis, for example at45
the
start of every week or month.
Go through the following steps in preparing your schedule:
Start by identifying the time you want to make available for your work. This
will depend on the design of your job and on your personal goals in life.

Next, block in the actions you absolutely must take to do a good job. These will
often be the things you are assessed against.

For example, if you manage people, then you must make time available for
dealing with issues that arise, coaching, and supervision. Similarly, you must
allow time to communicate with your boss and key people around you. While
people may let you get away with 'neglecting them' in the short-term, your best
time management efforts will surely be derailed if you do not set aside time for
those who are important in your life.

69
Key points: 46
Scheduling is the process by which you plan your use of
time. By scheduling effectively, you can both reduce stress
and maximize your effectiveness.
Scheduling is then a five-step process:
Identify the time you have available.
Block in the essential tasks you must carry out to succeed in your job.
Schedule in high priority urgent tasks and vital "house-keeping"
activities.
Block in appropriate contingency time to handle unpredictable
interruptions.
In the time that remains, schedule the activities that address your
priorities and personal goals.
If you have little or no discretionary time left by the time you reach step
five, then revisit the assumptions you have made in steps one to four.

70
47
TACKLING THE RI GHT TASK
SETTING PRIORITIES – Most of us have too much to do. How then do
you decide what you should do and in what order? Typically we:

•Do things that we like doing – not what we need to do


•Usually we start with the easy jobs that create a sense of
satisfaction
•Think that we have to give priority to every job we are
faced with
•Only realise the true priorities (what’s really important) in life
when we have a real problem to face

SETTI NG PRI ORI TI ES 48
The ABC Method
Use the ABC method to determine your priorities by placing
each item on your list into one of the following categories:

➢ Priority A: MUST DO – these are the critical items. Some


may fall into this category because of management
directives, important customer requirements, significant
deadlines or opportunities for success or advancement

➢ Priority B: SHOULD DO – these are items of medium value.


Items in this category may contribute to improved
performance but are not essential or do not have critical
deadlines

Dealing With Difficult
People, Difficult Behaviors
and Workplace Conflict

76
WHY DIFFICULT EMPLOYEE
EXIST
1.The employee has too much to
do too much of the time.
• When employees are overburdened with
tasks, projects, and other responsibilities
for long periods of time, they may become
resentful, fatigued, and stressed.
• All of this can lead to increased errors,
deteriorating relationships, and job
dissatisfaction.
• While these people previously may have
functioned as A or B players, they now
have slipped in status due to chronic
overwork.
77
2. The employee is not well matched
for the job.
• When staff aren't appropriately
matched to a particular position,
they don't perform to their
maximum potential.
• Further, the work doesn't get done
the way it needs to be done.
• Mismatch can mean lack of skills,
lack of interest, lack of insight, lack
of maturity.
• Thorough hiring processes can
reduce the chances of this
happening

3. The employee dislikes the boss.
• It is possible to dislike the boss but
still get the job done right.
• Lots of folks don't especially like
their boss.
• When the feelings become extreme,
however, the situation usually gets
out of hand.
• Staff may sabotage productivity,
communicate poorly, and, in
general, make life miserable for
those around them.

79
4. The employee constantly brings
problems from home into the workplace.
• Most human beings are dealing with at least
one problem in their personal lives at any
given time.
• Such problems include: marital challenges,
parenting issues, illness, financial struggles,
and extended family difficulties.
• People who use these problems regularly as
handy excuses for unacceptable behavior,
breaches in policy, and low productivity
become "problem employees". Employers
who offer employee assistance program
benefits need to refer these folks as soon
as red flags go80 up.
5. The employee receives poor
supervision.
• Employees who are not getting proper
supervision from their boss eventually
may turn into problem staffers.
• Their frustration over not having a
credible leader, a dependable
resource, a candid provider of
feedback, and/or a confidential
sounding board can cause them to
resort to inappropriate displays of
anger, deliberate choices to
accomplish less than expected,
and/or conscious decisions to
undermine 81the boss whenever
6. The employee is unclear about the
big picture.
• Most employees want to know how
their individual job duties fit into the
larger company vision.
• Understanding this important piece
actually motivates people to do their
best.
• It gives meaning to everything they
do. When people are unclear about
this, they may become complacent,
disinterested, even hostile.
• Their lack of motivation, whether or
not discussed with peers, seeps like a
poison throughout the department.

82
WHAT ARE THOSE COMMON PROBLEM ?

• Frequent and abused Sick


leave
• Emergency leave
• Misconduct
• Poor Performance
• Absenteeism

CASE STUDY – GROUP DISCUSSION

84
STEPS IN MANAGING
PROBLEMATIC EMPLOYEE
• Analyze the whole scenario
• Communicate
• Take disciplinary action

85
1. Don't ignore the problem.
• Assuming that the employee provides
value to the company and possesses
redeeming qualities, there are ways to
deal with difficult employees.
• Most often, managers will simply
ignore problematic staffers.
• Managers who live by this rule hope
the problem will just go away; that
these people will somehow turn
themselves around or stop being
troublesome.
• Ignoring the situation is the wrong
solution to what could likely become a
progressive problem.
86
2. Intervene as soon as possible.
• It is important to take action as
soon as the negative behavior
pattern becomes evident--when
left untouched, this problem will
only escalate.

87
3. Research the problem personally.
• Armed with accurate data and
examples, the manager needs to
then take this person into a
conference room or office--away
from others--and calmly address
the issue.
• To begin, the manager needs to ask
the employee if he is aware of any
ongoing issues to determine if the
difficult person is aware of the
problems.

88
4. Help the problematic employee to get
back on track.
• Once the employee begins to understand
that these negative behaviors are real
and experienced by others in the
organization, the manager should begin
to coach the difficult employee in
displaying more acceptable and
appropriate behaviors.
• The employee needs time and practice in
"trying on" new, more suitable behaviors.
• The manager need to provide specific
feedback to this employee on the success
or failure of his efforts in minimizing the
negative actions and implementing ones
that are more positive.
89
5. If all else fails, termination
may be necessary.
• If the employee continues to
deny his inappropriate behavior
and refuses to try to improve
the situation, the manager
needs to place this person on
the fast track towards
termination.
• Often this involves recording a
series of well-documented
verbal and then written
feedback about the behavior.
90
Discipline and Grievances

Discipline and Grievances are each one


side of the same ‘complaints coin's.

91
Discipline and Grievances
• Discipline is a ‘Management’s Complaints’
against an employee.

• Grievance is an ‘Employee’s complaint’


against management.

92
Why Disciplining Employees?

• Employees experience conflict at work and


sometimes break the rules.

• It then becomes your job to minimize the conflict


and get things going back on track.

• Disciplinary policies and actions play the prime


role in prohibiting unwanted employee behaviors.

93
Feedback
◻ People need and in most cases want to know
how well they are performing and how they
might improve

94
'feedback' exists between two parts when each
affects the other...
103

95
Obstacles to giving constructive feedback
105

◻ Separating the person from the problem


◻ Others becoming defensive or angry
◻ Fear of negative consequences (especially if the
other person is a supervisor)
◻ Dealing with potential conflict (especially if the other
person is aggressive)
◻ Avoiding hurt feelings
◻ Preserving relationships
◻ Not having all the facts and jumping to conclusions
◻ Choosing the right time so that the other person is
most receptive

and other ideas you may have thought of

96
Providing feedback
106

◻ In today’s time pressured, competitive


environment making and effort to provide
regular feedback is very important
◻ People who want to achieve peak
performance depend on feedback

97
EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK
107

◻ Steer people focus towards achieving the goal


and KPI
◻ Encourage people to repeat positive,
productive performance
◻ Provide people for alternatives that can help
them to improve and work efficiently and
effectively

98
TWO TYPES OF FEEDBACK
108

Positive feedback
Let’s people know what they are doing well and
energize them to repeat good performance

Feedback for improvement


Let’s people know about opportunities to enhance
their performance.
It provide alternatives they can consider when they
face similar situations in future

99
EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK
109

For feedback to have a positive impact consider 4


elements:
Specific
How
Timely
Balance

100
FEEDBACK WITH STAR QUALITY
110

101
111 ST – Situation or Task
Reminds you to describe the situation or
Task the person or team faced (eg. A
problem, business opportunity, special
challenge or routine task

A – Action
Remind you to describe the Action taken –
what was said and done to handle the
situation / task. When providing feedback for
improvement you could also describe what
the person or team failed to say or do

R- Result
Reminds you to describe the result of the
action- what was changed for better or worse
by the person or team action AND the impact
or consequences of the result

102
STAR FEEDBACK
112

◻ STAR feedback is effective because its


provide a complete picture of performance
◻ Describing the situation / task provides the
context for the person actions
◻ It can be used to give both positive feedback
and feedback for improvement

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

..\Selingan\Iklan\tension.mpeg

105
Emotions have never been completely welcome in our work
lives. Most of us have traditionally been conditioned to leave
emotions “at homes”.
And yet most of us believe that emotions are fundamental part
of who we are and working with others.

According to Peter Salovey – pioneer in EI said : Emotions tell


you to run away when you’re afraid, to fight when you’re
angry and to mate when you’re happy”

106
PROBLEM SOLVING – MANAGING EMOTION

Diana is an executive where part of her job function required her to prepare
monthly report for the board meeting. However most of the information that she
need came from various managers. Few of the managers are involve in site
activities and very seldom they are in the office.
Every month, Diana will face difficulties in getting all the information from this
group. End-up the report always completed last minutes. Even though several
reminder, follow up and dead line given, it doesn’t help. Sometime the directors
are complaining that they received the report late and could not gone through all
the details.
The MD is not happy and wish Diana to solve this problem once for all. Diana
send a nasty email to all managers and scolded them Did Diana do the correct
way, If not What shall Diana do then .. Pls advice
(15 minit)

107
WHEN WE FEEL EMOTIONAL REACTIONS TO SITUATIONS, WE DON’T
ALWAYS REALIZE WHAT IS BEHIND THAT REACTION. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO STOP AND ASK YOURSELF “ WHY DO I FEEL TENSE” AND TO
IDENTIFY THE FEELING BEHIND IT

LETS WRITE DOWN YOUR REACTION TO THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:


1. No parking space available
2. All telephone line is busy and you cannot make a call
3. Last minute assignment given to you with a short dead line
4. Being told on Friday that you need to work on weekend
5. Sudden rainstorm and you don’t bring your umbrella

Now in a group, discuss what will be the consequence with all those
emotions ex: I feel frustrated not getting a parking and it spoiled my
mood in the morning meeting.

108
EI is a type of social intelligence that involve the ability to
monitor one’s own and others’ emotions, to discriminate
among them and to use the information to guide one’s
thinking and action.
Or the simple way to understand is how we and other feel,
why we feel that way and what can be done about it.

109

practice and take times. There is no pills for emotional
intelligence. It is on going process

"As health problems go, heart disease,
diabetes, cancer and obesity get all the
limelight. But we should pay just as much
attention to another serious health issue:
stress."

STAR, May 26, 2003

125
STRESS FREE TIPS
 Cut out the coffee, hot chocolate, and soft drinks -
Caffeine can cause anxiety and make things more stressful.
So, you might want to limit your trips to Starbuck's when
you are suffering from stress.

· Write down your stressful situation - By putting your


thoughts down on paper (or in the computer) you can
transfer your emotions from your mind to something more
tangible. After you're done with the writing you can
crumble up the paper and throw it away, or light a match to
it and let your troubles go up in smoke.

 126
STRESS FREE TIPS
 Get some oxygen into your body by breathing deeply - Headache expert Dr.
Jeffrey Finnegan in his book Life Beyond Headaches says that one of the main
keys to a healthy body is getting oxygen, which we can't do if we're all slumped
over and stressful. Take a few minutes and close your eyes and breathe deeply and
slowly. I like to tell myself that with each outgoing breath I am becoming calmer
and less worried and stressed. If you can stop and breathe deeply for ten minutes a
couple times a day, you can reduce your stress dramatically.
"Breathing becomes short and shallow when we start stressing out," says Deborah
Johnson, Ed.D, an assistant professor at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. "The
quickest way to break this tension loop is to start drawing air deeply into your
lungs, which allows oxygen to flow throughout the body. You should feel a
difference almost immediately."
-- from Soothe your stress spots, Fitness, November 1998

127
STRESS FREE TIPS

 Eat a sweet - When you're feeling really stressed, take a minute


and eat a bite or two of candy (watch out for chocolate, which has
caffeine in it). Researchers have found that stress levels go down
when we consume sugars.
 Make yourself at home - Personalize your workspace. Surround
yourself with photographs of home, posters from favorite movies or
plants and flowers. The familiar, homey-objects, help relax tensions.
 Drink some orange juice - Scientists have discovered that vitamin
C can reduce the production of stress hormones. Eat an orange,
drink some juice, take a 200 mg. supplement, or eat other foods rich
in vitamin C like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower,
tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, grapefruit and cantaloupe.

128
STRESS FREE TIPS

 Sing a song - This tip does double duty, music and singing
relaxes the body, AND by singing you breathe more deeply.
Depending on your voice, however, you might create more stress
from the people around you.

Watch a funny video - Laughter like singing gets more


oxygen into our lungs, so watch something that gives you some
belly laughs. Dr. Hj.Fadzilah Kamsah says the essence of humor
is anticipation and payoff. Just like reducing stress.
