Communicating for success is vital for success in the workplace. This discussion is about emotional intelligence and the positive effects at work.
As you studied the chapter on emotions, it is important to manage emotions according to role expectations and social norms (page 265 in textbook). The goal is to create positive emotions (see page 255 in textbook) that create positive feelings when interacting with co-workers and customers alike.

For this week’s discussion please address the following questions:
What would be your part in contributing to a positive work environment with your co-workers? If you do not have work experience, discuss positive emotions you experienced that you might have had participating on a sports team or in a volunteer capacity such as a fundraising event.

What nonverbal messages (body language, tone of voice, eye contact, smiling) can you send that would create an enriching emotional environment. Ultimately, what strategies would you use to create your “dream job?”
Remember, arguably we all might have had in some way or another unsatisfactory experiences in the workplace but the focus in this discussion is on creating and maintaining a positive and polite work environment.

Answer preview

My friendship with this childhood friend can be classified as a long-term type of friendship. I have had other friends, but they do not stay for long in my life, especially in cases where we stop seeing each other physically. With my childhood friend, our mutual attraction has remained. In our friendship, we share personal secrets, which is made easier because we are from the same gender. We both know more about each other, which has led to our strong bond. Our relationship can, therefore, be categorized as a high disclosure friendship. Also, our friendship can be said to be a frequent contact friendship. Despite being far from each other, we often check on one another through emails, texts, and calls, thus being close virtually. Additionally, we do plan for meetings, where we carry out activities that help us bond more.
