We are all born with a natural temperament –
a comfort zone that determines our behavior patterns.
Some of these behavior patterns make us great – but
may also drive others uncomfortable.
Every team will consist of individuals with different
temperament types, each will have their own use
guide.
Although it is difficult to change who you are, there are
definite actions that you can take to make the most of
your temperament.
Personal Effectiveness is often conceived as
a set of competences, capabilities or qualities.
Objective of this presentation is to share some
ideas to help improve your effectiveness in a
corporate environment.
Extravert types like variety and
action, are impatient with long, slow
jobs, usually communicate well, like to
have people around, and are good at
greeting people.
Introvert types like quietness for
concentration, uninterrupted work
on one subject, have some
problems in communicating, and
work contentedly alone.

Improving Personal Effectiveness
Emotional intelligence is essential in effective leadership
and has a direct impact on work performance.
People with strong emotional intelligence test results
are more likely to succeed than with other people
whose strength areas are in either relevant previous
experience or traditional IQ scores.
There is a strong correlation between how well an
individual handled personal emotions and the
willingness of others to work with that individual.
A leader with a positive mood and attitude tends to
interact with others in a way that results in a positive,
helpful, and cooperative workgroup, thereby
increasing workplace efficiency.
20% IQ
80% EQ
The research shows
that IQ can help you
to be successful to
the extent of 20
percent only in life.
The rest of 80
percent success
depends on your
EQ.
Can EQ be developed
YES!!!
 You can develop your EQ by
upgrading your emotional
skills.
 The popular thinking that EQ
is entirely inherited is
incorrect.
 Emotional Intelligence is not
fixed at birth.
 There is no emotional
intelligence genes as such
that we know of today.
 It is something one has
learned.
Self-Awareness is
the ability to accurately
sense and identify
personal feelings, along
with the ability to
understand and
evaluate them.
Not being in touch with
your own feelings in
sufficient degree can
handicap your overall
effectiveness.
Empathy is about understanding other people. It is
the ability to hear and understand accurately unspoken or
partly expressed thoughts, feelings, and concerns of
others. People with empathy are able to constantly pick
up on emotional cues, and they can appreciate not only
what people are saying but also why they are saying it.
People who are high in empathy are able to read
messages conveyed by facial gestures, posture, eye
movement, and body language.
Influence is the
ability to persuade,
convince, or impact
other to get them to
go along with or
support your agenda.
Influence is about
grabbing someone’s
attention and passing
on something they
want to hear.
Inspirational
Leadership
is the ability to take on
the role as leader of a
team or group.
Inspirational leaders
work to bring people
together to get the job
done, they build a strong
sense of belonging
within the group leading
others to feel they are
part of something larger
than themselves.
Adaptability
Learn to disagree
Learn to appreciate
Seek feed back and be receptive
Go beyond official
Optimism
Tolerance
Empowerment
Have fun at workplace

organization.
You have recently been assigned a young officer in
your team, and have noticed that he appears to be
unable to make the simplest of decisions without
seeking advice from you. What do you do?
A. Accept that he does not have what it take to succeed
around here' and find others in your team to take on his
tasks.
B. Put impact of this deficiency in his career progression.
C. Purposely give him lots of complex decisions to make so
that he will become more confident in the role.

Improving Personal Effectiveness
Prioritize the tasks Devote your focus
to work in hand
Delineate a time line Delegate
Avoid perfection in
every task
Never break a
promise, but re-
negotiate if needed
Learn to say No
Sleep at least 6
hours
Eat healthily and
exercise /play
regularly
Reduce late
sittings
Save weekends
Save time for family
and friends
Stress is body’s response to
any physical or emotional
change in life.
This response includes the
release of a hormone,
adrenaline, in the body.
Adrenaline causes an increase
in heart rate, breathing and in
blood sugar levels. It also
diverts the blood flow from your
digestive system to your
muscles. (e.g. Leg muscles).
Less than expected
support from boss
Mistakes
Unexpected
progress of peers
Not good
relationship with
colleagues
Overanalyzing High work load
Meeting deadline
(Follow up from
seniors)
Requirement of new
ideas/initiatives
Keep
Expectation
Low
Be assertive
Being assertive
involves standing
up for your
personal rights and
expressing your
thoughts, feelings
and beliefs directly,
honestly and
spontaneously in
ways that do not
infringe the rights
of others.
Get organized
Do not overload
your mind.
Prioritizing
objectives, duties
and activities
makes them
manageable and
achievable.
Ventilation
“A problem shared
is a problem
halved”.
Develop a support
network thru
friends to talk with.
It is not always
events that are
stressful but how
we perceive them.
Take time out.
In a professional
sense, it is your
behavior towards
colleagues which is
in their best interest.
It help smooth the wheels of daily interaction in
office.
Good work outcome and happy co-existence even
if there is mutual dislike or disinterest.
Ensure that you do not become office enemy
number 1.
Modifies distracting behavior and develops
admired conduct.
Enables you to be confident in variety of settings
with a variety of people.
Colleagues are bothered by officers who:
• Have poor personal hygiene.
• Leave personal belongings in other people’s work spaces.
• Frequent complain.
• Don’t acknowledge you unless you speak to them directly.
• Wear clothing that is dirty, too casual, or distracting in some
other way.
• Drop in on you while working and don’t ask if its okay to
interrupt.
• Habitually arrive late at meetings.
• Gossip.
• Borrow things but forget to return them.
• Speak too loudly on the telephone.
• Cough or sniffle excessively
“Don’t reserve your best behavior for special
occasions. You can’t have two sets of
manners, two social codes – one for those
you admire and want to impress, another for
those whom you consider unimportant. You
must be the same to all people.”
• If you want to be a good manager as well as
a leader, there is a lot to learn. The most
fundamental lesson is that it starts with your
own personal effectiveness.
• Know yourself. Listen to feedback. Build on
your strengths. Build relationships.
• Do what you say you will do. Manage your
time.
• If we can just find people who do those things
well, the rest tends to take care of itself.
