Personal Risk Management Assessment (60 points)

Hello writer,

Thank you for helping me write this paper. In this assignment, you are required to write an
essay and cite concepts or key words from the textbook and use the bold format (see more in
the sample paragraph file). Please use essay format instead of the question-answer format. You
need multiple cites, but just from the two textbook I attach instead of outside sources. I attached
the two textbook.

book “Negotiating Workplace Relationships 2nd - Vincent R. Waldron & Jeffrey W. Kassing.pdf”

Reference should be:

Waldron, V.,& Kassing, J. (2018). Negotiating Workplace Relationships. San Diego,CA:

Cognella Publishers.

book “Communicating Emotion at Work”

Reference should be:

Waldron, V. (2012). Communicating Emotion at Work. New York: Polity Press.

The instruction below shows you how to write the essay. I am an international student from
China studying in the United States. This is an essay from Business Communication class.

Instructor’s instruction
This paper is an opportunity to consider your own risk management preferences, strengths and
weaknesses. In 4-5 pages answer the questions below. As you do, cite multiple readings from
each of our texts. Provide concrete examples from your own work experiences. Use class
concepts and add your original analysis of your “working self”.

1. What kind of environment do you prefer to work in? Consider the degree and kinds of risk
that you are comfortable (and uncomfortable) with. How will this affect your career path?

2. What is your personal risk philosophy? Consider the degree to which you view risk
management as a personal, organizational, or societal responsibility. Give examples and explain.
3. Of the nine risky communication situations covered in the text, which is most challenging to
you? What aspects of your communication need to improve, so you can manage this kind of
situation? Which situation are you most skilled at managing? Make sure you provide
examples!

4. Consider the four communicative aspects of risk negotiation (attending, sense-making,

transforming, maintaining). Describe how an organization you know about could improve each
of these practices. You can refer to your current or past workplace, a volunteer organization you
belong to, or even ASU. Note: This question refers to organizational, not individual,
communication practices.
