PART 3 (Discussion)Q. How do you think managers should behave with their employees? A. I do believe that Managers should behave and interact with their staffs professionally and in a friendly manner. Relationship between superiors and their teams should not only be in the work function in my opinion, but should also be in the social life as well. Good relation between Managers and their teams outside of the work will create a solid team work environment, and eventually it will impact on the productivity of the company. If a manger only boss around his team members, eventually the staffs would start disliking him or her. This would not be a good example to set in a work environment. From my experience I can say that a manager should be a leader who would be ready to take any challenge and would help his/her subordinates. Q. Does people’s behavior change in a group with elderly people? A. Yes, I think it is common that people’s behavior will change in accordance with the group they are gathered with. When a young person gather in a group of mature people, he will adjust to the topic of the conversation, which might be about business, raising family or politic, because if he talks about K Pop, cloud computing or MTV, some of the elder people might not understand it. Q. Please give an example of such behavior change. A. For example, when we go to the retirement house and visit elder people there, we would adjust our behavior. As most of the senior people love talking about their children or grandchildren, then we have to talk with them about family matters. And then we have to slowdown the pace of our conversation, because some of them might have problem with their hearing capability. They should be given priority in the conversation and we should let them talk on their favourite topics. When should also help them in every way possible and should not bring up issues that might bore or distress them. Q. Does people’s behavior change around someone famous? A. I think people’s behavior will change when they meet some famous person. They will try to make an interesting conversation with the famous person talking about his business or his capability or how much s/he adores him/her; therefore he/she will enjoy the discussion. For example, if I have the chance to meet Donald Trump, I would like to talk to him about Property, and get his opinion about property business, though I do not like the business itself, but since this is a rare opportunity, I would adjust myself to talk about his business. Q. What factors or people can affect someone’s personality? A. There are many things that could affect someone’s personality. Firstly, it is about friends. When we gather or hang out with good and positive friends, we could become a nice person, but when we play with drug dealers and crime people, then we could become one of them. And then economic conditions could affect our personality as well. When people grow up in poverty condition, they usually become a tough and temperament persons, because they have compete with other people in order to survive.
