University of Phoenix Material Week 4 Mentorship Meeting Worksheet

Date of Meeting: 21DEC2015Meeting Duration: 15mins

1. Meeting notes – what was discussed during your meeting?At this meeting we discussed the previous week wherein inquiry was had as to whether I find my position challenging in a desirable sense, and if so, is it of a degree that it continues to be interesting and enjoyable from that same standpoint.

2. What issues have you encountered since the last meeting and how did you address them?One minor issue was encountered wherein I found myself reacting to a co-worker’s premeditated oversight in a perceivably condescending fashion. I quickly realized this of myself and corrected same before such befell the ears of anyone other than mine own.

3. Interview your mentor to gather information about his or her organization, department, and job description. You will use this information in your Motivation Plan assignment, due in Week 5. How has he or she seen attitudes, emotions, personalities, and values influence the behavior of people in his or her department?

He asserts that individual and collective ‘morale’ easily stands as the most powerful influencer of behaviors and conduct in the organization; whereof attitude, emotion, personalities, and value are each a variable, and ever-fluctuating: “…no single aspect of dealing with different individuals can ever be picked out to apply universally or generally. Understanding this is half the battle at any job! Adaptation is the secret to the secret…”

4. Discuss how your mentor has applied principles of motivation and satisfaction while in a leadership role. How did these applied principles increase morale?

Actions that empower everyone Transparent and consistent communication of aspects significant to

employees Respect, regard, recognition, & respect Frequent and adequate acknowledgments Diverse feedback from diverse leadership
