Feedback is immediate Contextual definition does not take into account the relationship between the interactants Slide 4: The Developmental View - We have many different relationships with people Researchers say that our definition of interpersonal communication must account for these differences E.g. - Interacting with a sales clerk in a store different than the relationship we have with our friends and family members Slide 5: This is the Developmental View This view defines interpersonal communication as communication that occurs between people who have known each other for some time Importantly, these people view each other as unique individuals, not as people who are simply acting out social situations Direct & Interactive : Direct & Interactive Interpersonal Communication refers to face-to-face or person-to-person communication Extremely relevant to achieving personal as well as professional success Often Direct & Interactive – Makes effective use of oral as well as non-verbal channels – words, body language, facial expressions, spacing, tones, gestures, action Human Behaviour : Human Behaviour Calls for insight into Behaviour & Understanding of how people react under different situations Has particular significance in all people-oriented situations Relevant in dealing with people – both inside & outside the organisation – especially for handling grievances & difficult situations How You Behave Matters : How You Behave Matters Pleasant & unpleasant situations are bound to develop in any organisation where a large number of people work A Manager might have to convey appreciation and praise OR punishment & unpalatable developments, criticism & reprimand In such cases, not only WHAT the Manager says, but also HOW he says it, and WHAT is done through ACTIONS assumes meaning Slide 9: Good leaders constantly polish their verbal & non-verbal skills These skills are used to create the desired impression – both positive & negative The words that they choose, the way they express them, the tone, gestures & actions in totality are all impact creating First impressions carry considerable value – if it is right, it results in a positive relationship Slide 10: Other skills essential to build effective I-C skills are the ability to win trust, build rapport, ask the right questions, and elicit full information Involves creating right impressions & communicating the intended message convincingly Calls for sincerity in approach & bringing in transparency in communication Means asking appropriate questions in an appropriate manner, and making the other person communicate Slide 11: Also means making the other person confide in you – means breaking the other person’s reluctance For counseling, negotiation, hearing of appeals, personal interviews etc, additional communication skills would be called for These have to be developed through conscious efforts Develop a Positive Attitude : Develop a Positive Attitude People should necessarily have one basic skill – the ability to get along with others Whilst job-oriented skills & knowledge are relevant, what is equally relevant, if not more, is the right attitude People may accept a lack of knowledge , but will never accept rudeness or indifference Hence, building the RMA is very important ! Control Bad Feelings : Control Bad Feelings People come to work not only with their hands & heads, but also their hearts They come not only with knowledge, wisdom & intelligence, but also feelings & emotions Dealing with other people requires control over moods ! Slide 14: Any work situation is a mix of positive & negative, good & bad strokes Good Interpersonal skills require underplaying negative strokes & not letting them spoil one’s temper Learn to rise above bad feelings coming from any quarter and do not let these show up or hinder dealings with people Use Logic : Use Logic “ Two forces – Logic & Emotion – are at work throughout our lives. Often they push and pull in opposite directions. The one that prevails at any particular time, will determine how we get along with others, and may affect our level of achievement. It is easy to respond to situations with emotions rather than logic, but responding logically helps us to deal constructively with difficult situations.” – Roberta Cava Above quote brings out beautifully the strength of rational response in difficult situations Slide 16: Harmonious Interpersonal Relationships are the secret of success. “ I will pay more for the ability to deal with people than for any other ability under the sun.” – John Rockfeller Slide 17: Leadership & Communication Skills Slide 18: Leadership & Communication closely inter-related Good leaders master the art of communication A Leader, by definition, is a person who has a following Whatever the business or profession, a Leader communicates through verbal & nonverbal messages, especially by setting an example or being a role model Slide 19: Followers keenly look up to them for messages & inspiration Business leaders are also team leaders – they inspire & motivate their team mates The ability to get across, build rapport & win trust becomes so crucial that acquiring these communication skills becomes a critical necessity ! Transactional Analysis : Transactional Analysis Regarded as one of the most promising breakthroughs in psychiatry Constitutes yet another valuable approach to understanding of Human Behaviour & Action Developed by Dr Eric Berne, author of the book ‘Games People Play’ & subsequently discussed by Dr Thomas A Harris in his book ‘ I’m OK – You’re OK ’ Slide 21: Starting-point of the theory - When two people encounter each other, one of them will speak to the other. This is called the Transaction Stimulus. The reaction from the other person is called the Transaction Response The person sending the Stimulus is called the Agent. The person who responds is called the Respondent T.A. became the method of examining the transaction wherein: 'I do something to you, and you do something back'. Slide 22: In any personal interaction, a study of TA is useful in understanding & appropriately responding to varied behaviour TA divides an individual’s personality into three Ego States Ego State has been defined as a constant pattern of thinking, feeling or behaving These states are produced by recalling past events involving real people, real times, real places & real feelings Slide 23: P A C PARENT EGO STATE Behaviours, thoughts & feelings copied from parents or parent figures. ADULT EGO STATE Behaviours, thoughts & feelings which are direct responses to the here and now CHILD EGO STATE Behaviours, thoughts & feelings replayed from childhood Slide 24: The Parent State - Our ingrained voice of authority, absorbed conditioning, learning and attitudes from when we were young We were conditioned by our real parents, teachers, and ALL older people, next door neighbours, aunts and uncles Parent is made up of huge number of hidden and overt recorded playbacks Slide 25: Typically embodied by phrases and attitudes starting with 'how to', 'under no circumstances', 'always' and 'never forget', 'don't lie, cheat, steal', etc, etc. Formed by external events and influences upon us as we grow through early childhood We can change it, but this is easier said than done Slide 26: The Child State - Our internal reaction and feelings to external events form the 'Child‘ This is the seeing, hearing, feeling, and emotional body of data within each of us When anger or despair dominates reason, the Child is in control Like our Parent we can change it, but it is no easier Slide 27: The Adult State - Our 'Adult' is our ability to think and determine action for ourselves, based on received data The adult in us begins to form at around ten months old Is the means by which we keep our Parent and Child under control If we are to change our Parent or Child we must do so through our adult Slide 28: In other words: Parent is our 'Taught' concept of life Adult is our 'Thought' concept of life Child is our 'Felt' concept of life Slide 29: When we communicate we are doing so from one of our own Ego States, our Parent, Adult or Child Our feelings at the time determine which one we use, and at any time something can trigger a shift from one state to another When we respond, we are also doing this from one of the three states, and it is in the analysis of these stimuli and responses that the essence of Transactional Analysis lies Slide 30: Core of Berne's theory - Effective transactions must be complementary They must go back from the receiving ego state to the sending ego state For example, if the stimulus is Parent to Child, the response must be Child to Parent, or the transaction is 'crossed', and there will be a problem between sender and receiver Slide 31: If a crossed transaction occurs, there is an ineffective communication Worse still, either or both parties will be upset For the relationship to continue smoothly the agent or the respondent must rescue the situation with a complementary transaction Slide 32: In serious break-downs, there is no chance of immediately resuming a discussion about the original subject matter Attention is focused on the relationship Discussion can only continue constructively when and if the relationship is mended TA also refers to FOUR LIFE POSITIONS concerning one’s own self as well as others Life Positions : Life Positions Life positions are basic beliefs about self and others, which are used to justify decisions and behaviour These life positions are perceptions of the world and the people that we ‘transact’ with, as well as of ourselves Life positions are existential positions, one of which we are more likely to go to under stress I’m OK – You’re OK : I’m OK – You’re OK Eminently desirable position Indicates an acceptance of one’s own self-worth as well as that of others Positive approach in dealing with real life situations Person concerned shows sense of maturity & comfort in dealing with others Slide 36: People with this attitude enjoy positions of leadership They succeed in developing & sustaining meaningful interpersonal relationships Attitude Displayed - "It's no-one's fault, blame isn't the issue - what matters is how we go forward and sort things out." (I'm okay and you are okay - 'happy') I’m Not OK – You’re OK : I’m Not OK – You’re OK Relates to acceptance of others but not of self Person suffers from an inferiority complex – feels there is something lacking in him Shows a shortcoming in dealing with real life situations Will be submissive or passive Often display subservient attitude Slide 38: Are conspicuous by their self-denial Very often, look up to others for advice & seek constant guidance Display lack of confidence in their own abilities Attitude Displayed – I’m to blame ( You are okay and I'm not okay – ‘helpless’ ) I’m OK – You’re Not OK : I’m OK – You’re Not OK Relates to acceptance of self but not of others Feels there is something lacking in others.
