RW class response 9/11

 A new semester has started and I'm all excited to work with a whole new lesson about leadership. Currently, I have plans to work as a business consultant in the future and I believe that I can apply what I learned in this leadership class to the business management field too. We started off by discussing the importance of a first impression. We then moved to lessons of doing a proper handshake (brief, firm, warm!) and exchanging cards, which are important in making a positive impression not only in business scenes but in more informal situations as well. I found the assigned reading very intriguing because considering its facts; employers may be able to motivate their employees more effectively by having more social interactions rather than increasing pay. Managers and employers often invest a great deal of money to keep their co-workers motivated but by adopting the methods introduced in the article, much of this expenses may be saved or spent for alternate usage. However, if this article goes viral and people in business scenes start to practice similar positive attitudes simultaneously to improve their social intelligence, that may prompt suspicion among people such as separating genuine positive gestures and calculated smiles, rather than fostering attunement in a particular group.
