Genuine question. Why are comics from online only publishers discouraged? What is the goal behind discouraging paid webcomics?

sorry for taking so long to answer this!

i got really excited about answering this but also am not very good at communicating things clearly, i often get lost in the details in my passion about stuff like this, so i hope this is still interesting to read and intelligible lol!

i dont think there is any one thing that inherently defines what is and isn't a webcomic, it's an amorphous category that i enjoy the ambiguity of. but for me, what first led to my wonder for them as an 11 year old, and what has been a major factor in my passion for them even as an adult, was their low barrier to entry in both making them and accessing them. if you have internet access and time, almost anyone can make a webcomic if they want to! of course, without editors (or often even full story plans) or sensitivity readers or more people on a team to collaborate and contribute to the comic's vision, and the huge effort that it takes to do all the tasks of writing, inks, coloring, lettering, etc. all on ones own often without professional resources to facilitate that, that means that a lot of webcomics are really rough in some way or another. but a lot of people have interesting ideas they want to work with, but don't have the technical skill, desire or ability to market themselves or be beholden to external work deadlines, or connections in some way or another to be able to share those ideas through traditional publishing. regardless of skill or ability, a lot of marginalized people are barred from having their stories accepted by publishers due to bigotry and expectations about what kind of story is profitable.

as a disabled lgbt kid, i definitely read a lot of really bad webcomics i wish i hadn't, but also some of the media i was exposed to that most represented me back then was in the form of webcomics from people a lot like me. and i could read so much of it easily and for free without having to risk much to access it behind my parents' backs!

obviously that isn't the case for every webcomic, but for me and my history with them, them being easily accessible to both publish and read has been really important.

there are absolutely a lot of good points to be made about how publishing free to read webcomics isn't always the most accessible thing for a lot of people, especially for poor and disabled people. making webcomics takes a huge amount of time and effort, and sometimes even if people are passionate about making a comic, they just can't afford to find the time for that around all the other responsibilities of their day to day lives unless it can be a consistent income source. thats why even if paid online comics arent my platonic ideal of webcomics, i absolutely would never exclude them. i want small creators making stories i want to read to get the money they need to survive and keep telling stories without burning out!

it could be argued that online publishers who specifically focus on webcomics don't always present the same barriers to entry as traditional publishers, and many don't restrict the scope of marginalized creators' stories at all or to the same extent as people have struggled in other more mainstream avenues. and from my outside understanding of publishers like hiveworks, i'd absolutely agree with that! i love a lot of hiveworks comics and think its an awesome thing! (of course literally my icon is from a hiveworks comic, tiger tiger!) nonetheless however, part of my goals with this tournament is to highlight lesser known comics, and as publishers like hiveworks help advertise and promote their comics, even if i still want everyone to read all my favorite comics published by them, and certainly there are limits to those advertising resources, they still don't need as much help as other comics without that support. so its not as much 'try not to submit these' and more 'as you submit stuff like this, try to submit stuff with less advertising resources and popularity too!'

going into this tournament i also had a similar sentiment for stuff like webtoons originals. there was an added element to me in how i feel like i know a lot of people nowadays who read webtoons but don't have much awareness of other forms of webcomic, but even if in my love for webcomics i want people to come to appreciate all the breadth of ways they can exist in, thats obviously not something to make a huge priority. it's incredible the amount of forms comics can take (sidenote but reading scott mccloud's "understanding comics" a couple years ago was really formative for me in cementing how much i appreciate that, i'd highly recommend it!!!), and the way infinite scroll comics like webtoon style comics more fully make use of their digital medium, using time scrolling to pace things in place of traditional gutters and panelling, is really really cool. of course they're becoming more popular in a world where more people have smartphones, where webtoon style comics are a lot easier to read than many other forms. i love a lot of webtoons, and id feel regressive to discourage stuff like line webtoon original comics any more than stuff like hiveworks comics, just to go against current trends in what comics people seem to prefer. they have a similar low barrier to entry (through contests) as other online publishers, and it's cool to see creators get the opportunity to get paid for their work and get help from professional editors and stuff

but in the past couple weeks of running this tournament, i ended up reading a lot more about the behind the scenes of what its like to be a line webtoon original creator. line webtoon's expectations for their creators are incredibly unrealistic and exploitative, with grueling deadlines leading to a lot of creators to get repetitive strain injuries, all while working for well below industry standards. obviously a lot of webcomic creators make an inconsistent poverty level income out of it as independent creators, and that shouldn't happen either, but it's absolutely inexcusable for a company to profit off this labor and then manufacture these same conditions. without any organized labor movement surrounding that issue, that of course isn't an argument against reading or promoting these comics on its own, creators are more likely to get more income if their comics get more popular, and despite the promise of popularity by becoming an official comic, they absolutely still aren't all promoted equally. what has made me want to slightly more discourage (but still absolutely not disallow!) stuff like line webtoon official comics has been the combination of that along with learning that much of the editing of webtoons originals carries less of the benefits of having experienced creatives collaborating with creators to elevate their stories to new levels, and very often instead ends up taking the form of 'simplify this plotline and make this character look more attractive and fit this archetype more fully so we can market this better and have readers easily consume each update while they're scrolling their phone without having to think about it too much'. while obviously there are a lot of amazing webtoon official comics in spite of what i've heard anectdotally, hearing that just really went against so much of what i've most valued about my experience with webcomics!

i want creators to be able to tell stories no matter how weird and unmarketable, where they'll never have to worry about pushback for making stories with characters and themes that resonate for them as a member of any oppressed group, and where there's as little pressure as possible pushing them to work harder or faster than they healthily can or want to! so for me, even if i still love a lot of online published comics and want them to be celebrated and want their creators to be able to make a comfortable living out of them, i still just want to highlight stories that had that level of freedom that has created some of my favorite experiences with webcomics just a little bit more.

#sorry this is so long lol i am simultaneously so bad at expressing things and so so passionate about talking about things #also sidenote i feel like i unintentionally sound like i'm making an individualist sort of point of 'individual creator vs people who want #to change their work' here but thats absolutely not my intention. its just coincidentally undre capitalism oftentimes its hard for a lot of #people to have get together and have the resources to make something together without being paid for it #which leads to most more collaborative forms of storytelling being more profit motivated (like movies for example)#but im so incredibly interested in alternate forms of collaboration and cooperative models for storytelling and making art. i get why #its rarer in our current society but i love love love when i've seen webcomics doing that. often the best of both with being able to tell #stories that really need telling that people are passionate about #and with the refinement and texture of all the input and skills of everyone involved #such a tangent though lol. but yeah would love recs for stuff like that!#wctrelated #notwctpoll #anonymous #asks #long post

Let's dive into the world of corporate videos and discover why Mayhigh Films stands head and shoulders above the competition. So grab some popcorn and get ready for an epic cinematic journey!

The Importance of Corporate Videos

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the importance of corporate videos cannot be overstated. These dynamic visual assets have become a vital tool for businesses to effectively communicate their brand message and connect with their target audience. First and foremost, corporate videos have the power to engage viewers like no other medium. With eye-catching visuals, captivating storytelling, and professional production value, these videos can captivate your audience from the very first frame. By combining powerful visuals with compelling narratives, you can leave a lasting impression on your viewers and ensure that your brand stays top-of-mind. Moreover, corporate videos allow you to showcase your products or services in action. Instead of relying solely on text descriptions or static images, videos provide an immersive experience where potential customers can see exactly how your offerings solve their pain points or fulfill their needs. This level of demonstrative content builds trust and credibility among consumers. Furthermore, corporate videos are easily shareable across various online platforms such as websites, social media channels, and email campaigns. By leveraging the power of video sharing sites like YouTube or Vimeo along with social media algorithms that prioritize video content, you can exponentially increase the reach of your message and attract new leads to your business. Lastly (for now!), corporate videos humanize brands by putting faces behind them. In an increasingly impersonal digital world where interactions are often mediated through screens rather than face-to-face encounters, having real people representing your company helps build genuine connections with potential customers. Videos give you an opportunity to introduce key team members or show glimpses into behind-the-scenes operations – ultimately fostering a sense of trust and authenticity. There you have it – just a glimpse into why corporate videos are so crucial for modern businesses! Now let's delve deeper into what factors affect the cost of producing these valuable marketing assets.

Factors that Affect the Cost of Corporate Videos

When it comes to producing a corporate video, there are several factors that can influence the cost. One of the main factors is the length and complexity of the video. Longer videos with more intricate scenes and special effects will naturally require more time and resources, thereby increasing the cost. Another factor that affects cost is the level of production quality desired. Higher quality videos often require professional equipment, experienced crew members, and post-production editing services, all of which can add to the overall expense. Additionally, location plays a role in determining costs. If your video requires shooting at multiple locations or in expensive areas such as city centers or private venues, this may increase expenses for permits and logistics. The choice of talent can also affect pricing. Hiring professional actors or industry experts for interviews adds credibility but comes at a higher cost compared to using employees or non-professional talent. Revisions and changes during post-production can impact costs as well. The more adjustments required after filming has been completed—whether it's editing changes or adding graphics—the longer it will take to finalize the project, resulting in additional charges. Understanding these factors is crucial when budgeting for a corporate video production. By considering these variables early on in your planning process, you can make informed decisions about where to allocate your resources effectively without compromising on quality.

Quit Stalking LinkedIn and Learn How to Network Like a Pro

Networking is an essential part of any successful career. With the rise of social media, it has become easier than ever to find potential contacts and connect with them online. However, simply “stalking” LinkedIn or other professional networking sites isn’t enough to make the most of these opportunities. To really maximize your networking efforts and make meaningful connections that will help propel your career forward, you need to learn how to network like a pro. This blog post will provide tips and advice to help you do just that.

1. Don't be a LinkedIn Stalker

We’ve all been there. You come across someone’s profile on LinkedIn that seems perfect for your dream job or workplace. You can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as you scroll through their experience and accomplishments. But before you know it, you’ve gone deep into the depths of their page, checking out their connections, their endorsements, and even their hobbies. Congratulations, you’ve become a LinkedIn stalker. But hold on a second. Before you start sending them creepy messages or liking every single post they make, let’s take a step back and reassess. While it’s great to be enthusiastic about networking, there’s a fine line between being proactive and being a total creep. Remember, networking is about building relationships, not scaring people away. So instead of obsessively stalking someone’s LinkedIn profile, try reaching out in a more professional manner. Send them a personalized message explaining why you admire their work or expressing your interest in connecting. Trust me, it will make a much better impression than accidentally liking their post from three years ago. So, take a deep breath, put down the binoculars, and approach networking like a pro. Because while stalking may get you some quick information, it won’t help you build the genuine connections you need to advance your career.

2. What is Professional Networking?

Professional networking, my dear reader, is not just the art of collecting business cards or attending boring networking events where you have to force yourself to make small talk with strangers. Oh no, it's so much more than that! Professional networking is about making genuine connections with people in your industry. It's about building relationships and fostering opportunities for collaboration and growth. It's about finding that perfect job or workplace where you feel like you belong. Think of it as a dance, my friend. A dance where you gracefully navigate the virtual and physical spaces, connecting with others who share your interests and goals. It's like a tango, but with less awkward footwork and more meaningful conversations. By networking, you're opening doors to new opportunities and expanding your knowledge and resources. You're creating a network of professionals who can support and uplift you on your career journey. It's like having a team of cheerleaders, but without the pom-poms and short skirts. So, put on your networking shoes, my friend, and get ready to twirl and spin your way through the world of professional connections. Because when you know how to network like a pro, the possibilities are endless.

3. The Benefits of Professional Networking

Networking, my friend, is not just a time-consuming task that you do for the sake of it. Oh no, it's like finding a hidden treasure chest full of golden opportunities! Let me enlighten you on the benefits of professional networking. Firstly, networking opens doors to new job possibilities. You never know when someone in your network might hear about the perfect job for you or recommend you for an exciting opportunity. It's like having a personal job-hunting squad who knows your skills and aspirations. Secondly, networking helps you find your dream workplace. By connecting with professionals in your industry, you can gather insights about different companies and their cultures. You'll know which workplaces align with your values and goals, saving you from the nightmare of ending up in a soul-sucking job. But wait, there's more!

Here are some tips and tricks to get you started: - Be proactive, but not pushy: Reach out to people in your industry and express your interest in connecting. But remember, don't bombard them with messages or come off as desperate. Be genuine and respectful. - Attend networking events: Yes, I know, they can be boring. But they're also a great opportunity to meet people face-to-face and make lasting impressions. Plus, you might get some free snacks, so it's a win-win! - Find common ground: When engaging in conversations, look for shared interests or experiences. It could be a mutual love for cat memes or a shared disdain for Monday mornings. Finding common ground helps build connections on a deeper level. - Be a good listener: Networking isn't just about talking about yourself. Take the time to listen to others and show genuine interest in what they have to say. It's amazing what you can learn when you let others do the talking. - Follow up: Don't let those connections fade away. After meeting someone, send a personalized follow-up message to express your gratitude for the conversation and reiterate your interest in connecting further. - Embrace the awkwardness: Networking can be uncomfortable, especially if you're an introvert. But remember, everyone is there for the same reason - to make connections. So don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the awkwardness. - Stay organized: Keep track of the people you meet, their contact information, and any important details you discussed. This will make it easier to follow up and maintain those connections. So there you have it, my networking ninja. With these tips and tricks, you'll be networking like a pro in no time. Now go forth, make connections, and conquer the professional world!

5. Be Yourself, But Be Professional

When it comes to professional networking, it's important to be yourself, but also be professional. You don't want to show up to a networking event dressed as a clown (unless you're in the entertainment industry, of course) or use cheesy pick-up lines when reaching out to potential connections. So, how do you strike the right balance? Well, let me break it down for you in a way that only a blog post can. Picture yourself as a pineapple wearing a business suit. Yes, a pineapple. You want to maintain your unique personality, just like a pineapple stands out in a fruit salad, but also dress appropriately for the occasion, like a pineapple putting on a suit. Don't be afraid to let your personality shine through. If you have a quirky sense of humor, don't be afraid to sprinkle it into your conversations. Just make sure it aligns with the professional environment and doesn't cross any boundaries. It's like adding a pinch of salt to your dish – just enough to enhance the flavor without overwhelming it. Remember, you want to be memorable, but for the right reasons. So, be yourself, but be professional. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be known as the pineapple in the business suit – a true networking icon.

6. Following Up: The Key to Successful Networking

So you've attended a networking event, met some interesting people, and had great conversations. But now what? How do you turn those initial connections into lasting relationships? The key, my friend, is following up. Now, I know what you're thinking. Following up sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. But trust me, it's an essential step in the networking process. It's like adding the final sprinkle of salt on your perfectly cooked dish - it brings out all the flavors and takes it to the next level. When it comes to following up, timing is everything. You don't want to wait too long and risk the connection fading away, but you also don't want to come across as desperate and bombard them with messages right away. Find that sweet spot, like the perfect timing for a punchline in a joke. Start by sending a personalized message to express your gratitude for the conversation and the valuable insights they shared. Remind them of something specific you discussed to jog their memory. And most importantly, reiterate your interest in connecting further or collaborating in the future. And don't forget to keep the conversation going. Share relevant articles or resources that they might find interesting, or invite them to industry events or webinars. It's like sending a follow-up punchline that keeps the laughter going. So, my networking aficionado, don't overlook the power of following up. It's the secret ingredient that turns a casual conversation into a valuable connection. Take the time to nurture those relationships, and you'll be networking like a pro in no time.

7. The Dos and Don'ts of Professional Networking

Now that you know the importance of professional networking and how to approach it like a pro, it's time to delve into the dos and don'ts of networking etiquette. Trust me, my friend, following these guidelines will help you avoid any embarrassing or cringe-worthy networking mishaps. Do: Be genuine and authentic. People can sniff out a fake connection from a mile away, so don't try to be someone you're not. Embrace your quirks and let your personality shine through. After all, it's much easier to connect with someone who is being themselves. Don't: Treat networking like a one-way street. It's not all about what others can do for you, but also what you can offer in return. Be generous with your knowledge, resources, and connections. Networking is a give-and-take relationship, so don't be a taker. Do: Be a good listener. Show genuine interest in others and give them your undivided attention. This isn't the time to be scrolling through your phone or planning your next witty remark. Listen, absorb, and respond thoughtfully. Don't: Be overly self-promotional. Yes, it's important to share your accomplishments and skills, but constantly bragging about yourself is a major turn-off. Let your actions speak for themselves and allow others to discover your value organically. Do: Follow up and maintain connections. Don't let those valuable connections fade away. Send a personalized follow-up message after meeting someone to express your gratitude and reiterate your interest in staying connected. And don't be afraid to reach out from time to time to keep the conversation going. Don't: Be a networking vampire. You know, those people who only reach out when they need something. Networking is about building long-term relationships, not just using people for personal gain. Show genuine interest in others even when you don't need anything from them. Remember, my networking ninja, by following these dos and don'ts, you'll navigate the professional networking world like a true pro. Now go forth and network with confidence, my friend!

8. Finding Opportunities to Network

Alright, my networking aficionado, let's talk about finding opportunities to network. It's like searching for buried treasure, except instead of gold doubloons, you'll be finding valuable connections that can propel your career to new heights. So grab your compass, put on your networking boots, and let's explore! Firstly, don't limit yourself to traditional networking events. Sure, they can be helpful, but don't forget about the power of unconventional opportunities. Attend industry conferences, join online communities or forums, and participate in workshops or webinars. You never know who you might meet while bonding over a virtual cheese tasting or debating the best font for PowerPoint presentations. Next, be a social media butterfly. Use platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and even Instagram to connect with professionals in your field. Engage in discussions, share valuable insights, and showcase your expertise. Who knows, your next networking opportunity might be just a tweet away. Also, don't be afraid to tap into your existing network. Ask friends, family, and colleagues if they know anyone in your desired industry or company. You'd be surprised at how interconnected the professional world can be. It's like a giant game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but with fewer movie references and more business connections. And finally, embrace the power of serendipity. Be open to chance encounters and seize every opportunity to strike up a conversation with someone new. Whether it's at a coffee shop, a party, or even in the line for the bathroom at a conference, you never know where a networking opportunity might present itself. So put on your friendly face and get ready to make connections in the most unexpected places. So there you have it, my networking extraordinaire. By exploring a variety of avenues, being active on social media, leveraging your existing network, and embracing serendipity, you'll find opportunities to network popping up left and right. So get out there, my friend, and start discovering those hidden networking gems!

9. Networking in the Digital Age

In today's digital age, networking has taken on a whole new meaning. Gone are the days of attending stuffy networking events and awkwardly handing out business cards like a desperate salesperson. Now, you can network from the comfort of your own home, pajamas and all! Thanks to social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram, networking has become as easy as scrolling through your favorite cat videos. You can connect with professionals in your industry, engage in insightful discussions, and even showcase your expertise with a witty tweet or a perfectly curated Instagram post. But let's not forget the power of serendipity in the digital age. You never know who you might come across in the vast world of the internet. It could be a potential mentor, a collaborator on a groundbreaking project, or even a lifelong friend. So don't be afraid to strike up a conversation, comment on a post, or send a thoughtful message. After all, the internet is a networking goldmine just waiting to be explored. So, my digital networking maven, embrace the digital age and all the opportunities it brings. Connect, engage, and build relationships with professionals from around the world, all with a few clicks of a button. And remember, you can do it all without even changing out of your pajamas. Networking has never been so comfortable!

10. Putting Your Networking Skills to Work

Alright, networking pro, it's time to put your skills to work and see the results of all your networking efforts. Remember, networking isn't just about collecting business cards or adding connections on LinkedIn. It's about building relationships and creating opportunities for collaboration and growth. So, how do you actually put your networking skills into action? First and foremost, be proactive. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you - go out and seek them! Reach out to professionals in your industry, attend events, and join online communities where you can engage with like-minded individuals. The more active you are in seeking out opportunities, the more doors will open for you. Next, don't be afraid to ask for help. Networking is about building mutually beneficial relationships, so don't hesitate to reach out to your connections when you need guidance or support. Remember, it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help - it's a sign of strength and a willingness to learn and grow. Lastly, always follow up and stay connected. After meeting someone new, send a personalized follow-up message to express your gratitude for the conversation and to reiterate your interest in staying connected. And don't let those connections fade away - continue to nurture and maintain your relationships by staying in touch, sharing resources, and supporting one another's goals. So, my networking maestro, put your skills into action and watch as your career takes off. The power of networking is in your hands, so go out there and make meaningful connections that will propel you towards success!

UMC Shadowing Day 2 (7/4) || Henry Le (USC)

The clock strikes 7:30 am and everyone is boarding the two buses headed to UMC Hospital in Saigon. Stepping foot into the hospital for the second day filled me with anticipation. The vibrant energy pulsating through the corridors of the cardiology department set the stage for yet another enriching day of exploration and growth. The focus and quickness exhibited by the medical professionals were contagious, and I was eager to embrace the knowledge that awaited me. Our group was a little early in the cardiology department, so we ended up shadowing a pharmacist in the beginning part. The kind pharmacist showed us the EMR and even went through the effort to install Google Translate to automatically translate the EMR page. She went through the major features and accessibility of the EMR website, which I really appreciated.

After a couple of minutes, the cardiologist was ready. I could sense his genuine commitment to our learning from the moment he greeted us. He immediately asked for our year and general knowledge of cardiology. After that, he gave us a tour of the cardiology department. He took us through the different patient rooms and tried to explain the different aspects of it. We learned about the different numbers on the vitals monitors, the oxygen and suctioning outlet, and how the patient bed works. It was kind of funny seeing the doctor explain these things to us while the patients were either awake and uninformed of what was happening or woken up by us. Near the end, the doctor took us to the front office where he tried to pull up interesting cases while taking into account of level of understanding in cardiology. He took time to explain the intricacies of each case, share his experiences, and encourage us to ask questions. His attentiveness to our education was truly inspiring and we all greatly appreciated how much of a genuine interest he had in cardiology.

As I left the hospital that day, my heart swelled (no pun intended) with an appreciation for the privileges I often take for granted. As I passed through the outpatient area, I couldn’t help but notice the sea of people patiently moving around and waiting for their turn to receive medical care. The whole area buzzed with a mix of anxiety and confusion, but resilience. This sight reminded me of the challenges faced by those who do not have easy access to quality healthcare. It made me appreciate the resources and support available to me, and the ease with which I could seek medical attention.

As I continue my journey, I carry the invaluable direct and indirect lessons imparted by that dedicated cardiologist. Thank you for giving back and helping the students who want to be in your position one day.

Importance of Employee Reviews | Brook Pub Employee’s

Employees may reasonably anticipate monetary compensation and advancement opportunities due to their efforts. But these physical rewards pale compared to the more intangible ones—namely, the sense that they are valued and that their company cares about their professional development. Therefore, importance of employee reviews for more than just rating previous performance; they should be a time for you and your team member to brainstorm ideas for the future. Brook pub employee reviews is done once in evey 3 months. It helps us to understand our staff as well as their concerns with the restaurant and work.

Here are some tried-and-true methods for improving the effectiveness of your employee reviews to the point where you and your staff look forward to them.

Performance evaluations begin with hiring:

Setting the correct foundation with new hires is the easiest way to ensure excellent performance. Establishing objectives and benchmarks before hiring is the first step in conducting effective performance reviews.

Share the vision for the restaurant with prospective employees and explain how they can contribute to its success. Give them an idea of what you consider a "good job" and the attributes and abilities you expect from them in the workplace.

As you would only build a building with a solid foundation, employee reviews serve the only purpose if workers know what is expected of them from the start. If your staff are not off to a good start, it will be much more difficult to steer them in the proper direction later on.

Don't place everything together:

You can only conduct effective performance reviews if everyone on staff is aware of and working towards the same set of goals for the restaurant.

Most eating establishments employ generic evaluation forms that don't do justice to their establishments. Categories in these essential documents cover things like familiarity with the job, efficiency, punctuality, attitude, cooperation, communication, etc. While these groups may hold significance, they could be more specific and communicate more to the staff member.

Use the word "attitude" as an illustration. While a good attitude is expected of our staff, how do your servers measure up? How do you know whether your cooks have a good attitude? To deliver genuine hospitality, it helps if your servers are outgoing, sympathetic, and patient. Attitude in the kitchen could mean taking charge, working hard, and working along with others.

Provide prompt responses:

Many restaurant workers feel like they need to hear more from management. The individuals who get things done in a company get disregarded in favour of the bottom line.

Be sure to address a performance issue or recognise an employee's efforts before the quarterly review. Immediate comments should be made after observing something.

A delay in addressing an employee's repeatable performance problem increases the likelihood of the problem becoming entrenched and sending the wrong message to the rest of the workforce.

However, the opposite is true if you wait too long to recognise and thank your team members for their positive efforts; they will be far less motivated to repeat them in the future.

Staff evaluations are not annual:

The restaurant industry is unlike the corporate world, where top-down annual reviews are commonplace. Most people who work in restaurants will only last for a year.

It's a reactive management strategy to wait a year to evaluate an employee's performance. It takes more time, resources, and effort to analyse old data and fix performance problems. Mistakes made years ago should be remembered. Far too many several years old achievements fail to receive the recognition they merit. In doing so, you deprive your staff of chances for development, advancement, and satisfaction in their work at your restaurant.

Consequently, you need to retain customers.

Consider doing so every three months instead of waiting a year to evaluate your staff's performance. Quarterly reviews can provide employees with constructive criticism, assistance, and encouragement when done properly.

When employees are continually praised for their efforts and given room to develop, they flourish under your leadership.

Tone down the intensity:

Let's be honest: nobody looks forward to the "opportunities for growth" section of an employment review more than the manager or employee receiving it. It's easy to see why. Positive feedback is rarely expressed as such, even though it is labelled an "opportunity for growth" in the review. It has an essentially critical, admonitory, and reprimanding tone.

Reviews of employees shouldn't be a personal attack or a conflict but rather an opportunity to help them develop and improve.

Focus on the employee and their objectives as you explain the start, stop, and continue cycle. Provide each necessary adjustment from the perspective of what's in it for them. Employees who see their efforts are valued as more likely to support the company's overall mission. Keep in mind that you, as well as your employees, will profit from fostering ongoing professional development through regular reviews.

Brook Pub Employee's Feedback:

Mrs. Diane Rolph:

Since I started working three years ago, I have held the position of bar manager at the Brook. I am in charge of the ordering of stock, organising the shift schedules for the staff, and making sure that everything runs smoothly and effectively. In my opinion, having a happy crew contributes to a pleasant and welcoming environment for our clients and guests.

After sampling everything we have to offer, it is impossible for me to pick a favourite dish because they are all of such high quality. Working at The Brook, which was my neighbourhood pub before I joined the team, allows me to catch up with old acquaintances while also introducing me to a large number of people from other parts of the world. People from the United States of America, Canada, Portugal, and most lately Australia have crossed my path.

Karaoke nights make The Brook an especially exciting and lively pub to visit.

Mr Ashish:

Working as a bartender at the Brook a gastro pub, has been a special experience. Meeting new people and experiencing new things is the norm.

The bonds I formed with my colleagues and regular customers turned our workplace into a close-knit family.

The art of mixing and creating unique drinks has always been my favourite part of my job. As a food lover, all the irresistible dishes made in our kitchen are my favourites. I enjoy eating them all from the menu, just like our guests.

I've loved and learnt a lot throughout my experience previously. It's all wax and wane. I'm excited for an even better experience ahead.

Mr Pradeep Varma:

Being part of the Brook pub is very special and a changing point in my life. I have always been keen to learn new things, and The Brook has taught me many.

Regarding food, it is one of the best in town as my customer self. All the items on our menu, from Homemade curries to freshly made best Sunday roasts, are comfy. If I had to pick one, my top choice would be Fish and Chips. It is so mouth-watering.

Our colleagues and Regulars make the Brook a welcoming family. The management is lovely. My enjoyable part of working at this amazing place is making all the family guests happy and fulfilling their orders. Lucky to be part of this amazing team and looking forward to gaining many more experiences.

Conclusion:

Performance reviews are more than just an opportunity to grade employees; they should be a two-way conversation encouraging employees to reach their full potential. This dialogue must be two-way. We at Brook Pub Cambridge always follow these rules and always remember to communicate with our team and understand their likes and issues.

Maintain an open attitude when listening and promote an honest exchange of ideas. The responses you receive will show you how you may better contribute to your team's accomplishments.

The is light at the end of the tunnel, Block reflection!

Life is a marathon, not a sprint, and the goal is not to simply "win." Treat yourself with kindness. Let everything go. Because you were truly divinely destined, embrace all your lessons learned and treasure your experiences. Community block, which immerses students in the local areas, enables us to convert theoretical knowledge into knowledge that is useful. It is based on theories of experiential learning, a method by which one engages with the outside world and incorporates new knowledge into pre-existing ideas.

Daniel Kahneman stated that "Potential losses loom larger than potential gains. Because of this, most people regret not taking risks much more than they regret taking them. The stories I heard from other students, the workload, and the feedback, to name a few, were amazing but also overwhelming and frustrating moments. What's this? These experiences served as my stepping stones and helped me establish a solid academic and personal foundation because I had to write my first two essays a week before the block began, which required excellent time management. The secret was to ask them how they were doing it and to really listen without formulating a response at the same time. The best feeling, I currently have about this block is the mysterious sensation of genuine connection and understanding. For goals to have an impact on performance, people or groups must be truly committed to pursuing them. (Erez & Zidon, 1984).

I had to change from a minimal attitude to a sense of urgency that Cato Manor and Denis Hurley taught me because there was so much unlearning and unpacking. I had to be conscious of the variety of situations that come with being a therapist. Be prepared to put in a lot of effort and occasionally perform tasks that are outside the scope of your position. I've discovered that I should constantly try to act professionally and never forget that I'm a member of a team (MDT). Top-notch patient care was always the aim. To develop students' professional behavior and prepare them for the workforce, according to Lorenzo (2006), fieldwork is crucial.

Learning how to work with or treat anyone who walks through the door seeking therapy was the first challenge I encountered almost immediately. A physical, psychosocial, or pediatric case could be involved. I must admit that being assigned to a clinic was a blessing in disguise. Let me put it this way: this block truly transformed me and better prepared me for community service. Toal-Sullivan (2006) notes that to practice independently as a licensed therapist in resource-constrained settings, one must make a significant adjustment from being a supervised student in a controlled environment. As we have access to a closet full of games and toys in a clinic. It was simple to change the activity if a child was uninterested in it. Despite my prior experience in previous years, we had to focus on specific conditions, for example, if we were in a physical block, we only focused on physical conditions. But because of this block, both as a person and because of my profession as an occupational therapist, I completely loved the opportunity to treat every condition in a single day. My weakest ever area was working with kids. But when I consider where I came from and where I am now, I should be commended for acting on all my supervisor's suggestions. All because of the enlightening criticism and feedback I'll receive from her. What's this? I now enjoy working with children. Chantal Christopher advised us to "fake it until you make it" and to take responsibility for our own learning (Furlong & Christenson, 2008).

I will always be grateful that I get to work at Denis Hurley with the kids from the Dalton Creche because that is where my love for kids really started to grow. I have always loved being around them. I feel the safest and most at home there. This fact influenced the direction of my career and caused me to work equally with children and adults with disabilities. I'll be honest with you: I adored my work here! I organize activities like sailing, tubing, and ziplining while also forming deep bonds with so many interesting children and adults. My life was changed by working at these two placements. Not only did it lead me to love occupational therapy more, but it was the first time I witnessed the therapeutic benefits of working with patients. I have learned that students don’t just need to learn “job skills” on the job, the capacity for continuous learning is critical. Building this capacity for continuous learning is another way to frame the role of experiential learning in transfer. What Schwartz (2005) call “transferring out” that is, the direct transfer of new learning to a situation is often limited by the lack of well-developed expertise of novice learners. I discovered how to be more adaptable and incorporate a child's goals and therapy needs into their plans rather than my own. Studies have shown that students who regularly engage in structured reflection are more likely to approach new challenges with a strategic learning orientation, reinforcing the idea that learning is ultimately about being able to use knowledge and skills in novel situations (Eyler, 2009; Eyler and Giles 1999).

Figuring out the many ways to use cost-effective materials challenged my creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving like never before. Consequently, when using these materials, the patients also demonstrated greater creativity, attention, and enjoyment in the sessions which was observed when making an assistive device at Cato Manor clinic with an OA patient. Also, with the Dalton creche, instead of playing a game with set instructions, they came up with their own. This process in and of itself was therapeutic, challenging their planning, communication, and problem-solving abilities. I still have a lot to learn about using what is available in treatment sessions in the therapy process but the adaptability and problem-solving skills I developed will benefit me as a therapist in the future. King (1992) argues that most students graduate without attaining a level of reasoning ability that would allow them to frame, explore alternative perspectives, reframe, and resolve problems, while understanding that future information may call for a re-evaluation of one’s current position.

The main goal of my block was to learn about community needs and accessibility. To do so I read a lot of research, ask for help from my seniors, and I got lots of experience working with kids and homeless individuals, was both a guide as an occupational therapist. I felt confident in my skills in a community setting environment and wondered “How different rural-based therapy could really be?” Little did I know that I had a lot to learn. Thankfully I had an amazing supervisor and colleagues that helped me grow. These block really and truly groomed me while there were many challenges along the way, the lessons I’ve learned have shaped who I am as a person and a future occupational therapist.

Overall, my experience in paediatric group therapy sessions, health promotions, working in different placements in a week, and reaching out to people who really need our services was amazing. While there were challenges along the way, there were also a lot of opportunities for growth. As a therapist, it was important for me to remember that I had help. At Denis Hurley, all therapy groups are staffed with both adults and children. Being able to instruct and guide the other adults in the group can be the difference between chaos and a well-run activity. For kids, I learned that it’s ok if a child didn’t want to participate in a group activity or if their participation looked different than someone else’s participation.

High end Interior Decorators in Noida

If you haven't already, you should consider hiring a designer for your interior spaces. Hiring an interior designer is a wise decision if you have made a significant financial investment in your home and want to show it off to its full potential. Interior designers genuinely help to achieve the goals of interior design.

Hiring an interior designer is a wise decision if you have no idea where to start with decorating your home, how to put things together, or if you just don't have the time to carry out your design style. Don't believe the myth that interior designers are the domain of the wealthy. Anyone can afford to hire an interior designer, which is a smart decision.

In light of all the benefits they may provide, let's discuss why you should hire an interior designer for your ideal project.

Why Are Interior Designers Valid Hirings?

Make Your Dream True

Choosing the concept you wish to utilize is typically the first step in house design. Unfortunately, not everybody can quickly translate their concept into a working design plan. The Best Interior Designers in Noida can assist you to choose the finest option in this situation. Furthermore, an interior designer might offer suggestions or a design that they believe will work best for you.

If you want an interior design with an urban theme, for instance, you can seek advice on the best decorative items and the rules to follow. You can describe the idea and the interior designer will work with you to make it a reality while taking budget, comfort, and other factors into account.

Professional Evaluation.

An expert evaluation of your issue from an interior designer can help you develop a sound action plan. They will organize everything so that everything works together, saving time and effort. Your budget will be impacted, which will make it easier for you to manage how you spend your money. A designer is trained to identify and offer items that are difficult to assess.

More Productive

To make the planning and construction of your home more effective in terms of time and money, you also need the services of an interior designer. An interior designer will complete their work promptly, as agreed upon by the parties. They will create an interior design that fits your budget and work with you to save costs. The cost of materials, furnishings and other items of furniture is typically included in the interior design budget.

Resources Are Widely Available.

You cannot discount the influence of a designer in terms of their contacts and resources. They are familiar with individuals from various industries who they can hire on an as-needed basis. If you attempt to accomplish this on your own, you will be forced to visit numerous stores, which will waste a lot of time. They devote their best resources to your project, fusing various elements to give your home the appearance you want.

Obtain a Professional Opinion

Hiring an interior design firm entails bringing on board a team of professionals who can maximize the space's style, usability, quality, and comfort. They have the knowledge and experience to spot things that an unskilled pair of eyes may easily overlook.

You can choose from a variety of designs if you work with a reputable interior design firm. With the use of cutting-edge technology, they can also show you a 3D layout design and walk-through recordings of the intended space. The crucial facets of lighting, furnishing, and object placement are addressed from a professional standpoint.

There Will Be An Omg Factor.

The "omg factor" is ensured when a qualified interior design firm is handling your project. They "think beyond the box" when brainstorming and producing the best expression of your concept. An interior design firm understands your needs and goes above and beyond them, whether you want a traditional appeal or a modern style, a minimalist approach, or extravagant creations.

You are therefore much more likely to be pleased with the finished product when working with a professional interior design firm. They pay attention to even the smallest details; everything is perfectly made to blend in, from the fits to scale to the colors, fixtures, and furniture. Additionally, the designers are adept at making the best use of available space.

Spend Less.

Even if you have to pay the additional charge for the designer, it may seem unusual that hiring one would also save you money on your home. Although it may seem expensive to you, hiring a designer may save you a lot of money by helping you to avoid costly mistakes. It can also help to enhance the value of your home, which will be higher than what you would have achieved on your own without professional assistance.

Benefits of pursuing Community Service for Study Abroad

If you're considering taking the SAT or ACT and then studying at an international university for your first four years of college, you have my heartiest best wishes. You will gain a lot from experience as a student and a person. You'll be aware of the numerous ways in which your application might stand out. Getting a perfect score on either the SAT or the ACT is possible. Maintaining a high GPA throughout your academic career is possible. Spend as much time as you need on your essays to ensure that they stand out from the crowd by demonstrating that you have given them careful consideration and are committed to their success. Gaining a unique experience that will set you apart from other applicants is another way to boost your profile. Volunteering is an excellent illustration of this principle since it entails giving one's time to a good cause at no financial cost to oneself.

It will strengthen your application overall.

There are several ways in which volunteer work might improve an applicant's prospects of being accepted to a foreign institution. Due to the nature of many NGOs being either small in size or having a flat management structure, you will have enough opportunity to network with seasoned, well-respected professionals at the highest levels of the organization through social work for college applications. Having someone who has worked closely with you and can attest to your abilities write a glowing reference for you may be quite beneficial. In addition, you'll have material for some compelling essays and other parts of your application that highlight your volunteer efforts.

It's a great way to show off your collaborative abilities.

Admissions committees will presume that you can work well as a team if you can show that you had a major impact on your non-profit Work on your application. This is because success in the NGO sector relies on the ability to use the skills of one's colleagues effectively. The institutions encourage the precise qualities that make you an excellent candidate to join their undergraduate cohorts: resourcefulness, working within financial limits, and thinking of solutions to solve challenges.

You will have the chance to lead and lead by example.

Differentiation is the key to gaining an edge in the undergraduate study abroad application process. Since so few people have had the opportunity to do so, demonstrating your leadership abilities is a certain method to put yourself ahead of the competition. This is essentially a given in any kind of voluntary activity. You will be responsible for nearly single-handedly managing activities of a massive scale, necessitating the coordination of many individuals and entities toward a common goal. Because you need to compel others to labour for next to nothing, you will develop and improve your capacity to inspire others to action.

In your profile, you may brag about an influence that much exceeds that of any other initiative or honour you've received.

Effects on society are always substantial and, in some cases, impossible to measure. Just indicating that you spent even a few months working with an NGO may make a huge difference in the quality of your application. On top of everything else you've done; this accomplishment will help you stand out to undergraduate admissions officers.

Any description of your volunteer activity would highlight your enthusiasm.

Showing you care genuinely about the causes you support is another great method to set yourself apart from the competition. It is generally taken care of naturally when discussing volunteer work. Your participation indicates your commitment, and your description of your experience may serve as a powerful demonstration of the personal and professional significance of your community service for studying abroad.

Conclusion

Volunteering with a non-governmental organization (NGO) and making a positive difference in the lives of others will put you in the correct frame of mind to handle your application and the rest of your responsibilities at university. It has enormous practical and theoretical advantages. Call or visit Blue Nudge's website to schedule an appointment with a counsellor if you have more questions about this or any other area of undergraduate admissions and SAT/ACT prep and our distinctive coaching approach.

https://www.16personalities.com/ Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Commanders are natural-born leaders. People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. However, Commanders are also characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end they’ve set for themselves. Perhaps it is best that they make up only three percent of the population, lest they overwhelm the more timid and sensitive personality types that make up much of the rest of the world – but we have Commanders to thank for many of the businesses and institutions we take for granted every day. Striving for Greatness If there’s anything Commanders love, it’s a good challenge, big or small, and they firmly believe that given enough time and resources, they can achieve any goal. This quality makes people with the Commander personality type brilliant entrepreneurs, and their ability to think strategically and hold a long-term focus while executing each step of their plans with determination and precision makes them powerful business leaders. This determination is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Commanders push their goals through with sheer willpower where others might give up and move on, and their Extraverted (E) nature means they are likely to push everyone else right along with them, achieving spectacular results in the process. At the negotiating table, be it in a corporate environment or buying a car, Commanders are dominant, relentless, and unforgiving. This isn’t because they are coldhearted or vicious per se – it’s more that Commander personalities genuinely enjoy the challenge, the battle of wits, the repartee that comes from this environment, and if the other side can’t keep up, that’s no reason for Commanders to fold on their own core tenet of ultimate victory. The underlying thought running through the Commander mind might be something like "I don’t care if you call me an insensitive b*****d, as long as I remain an efficient b*****d". If there’s anyone Commanders respect, it’s someone who is able to stand up to them intellectually, who is able to act with a precision and quality equal to their own. Commander personalities have a particular skill in recognizing the talents of others, and this helps in both their team-building efforts (since no one, no matter how brilliant, can do everything alone), and to keep Commanders from displaying too much arrogance and condescension. However, they also have a particular skill in calling out others’ failures with a chilling degree of insensitivity, and this is where Commanders really start to run into trouble. A Worthy Challenge Emotional expression isn’t the strong suit of any Analyst type, but Commanders’ distance from their emotions is especially public, and felt directly by a much broader swath of people. Especially in a professional environment, Commanders will simply crush the sensitivities of those they view as inefficient, incompetent or lazy. To people with the Commander personality type, emotional displays are displays of weakness, and it’s easy to make enemies with this approach – Commanders will do well to remember that they absolutely depend on having a functioning team, not just to achieve their goals, but for their validation and feedback as well, something Commanders are, curiously, very sensitive to. Commanders are true powerhouses, and they cultivate an image of being larger than life – and often enough they are. They need to remember though, that their stature comes not just from their own actions, but from the actions of the team that props them up, and that it’s important to recognize the contributions, talents and needs, especially from an emotional perspective, of their support network. Even if they have to adopt a "fake it ‘til you make it" mentality, if Commanders are able to combine an emotionally healthy focus alongside their many strengths, they will be rewarded with deep, satisfying relationships and all the challenging victories they can handle. Strengths & Weaknesses Commander Strengths Efficient – Commanders see inefficiency not just as a problem in its own right, but as something that pulls time and energy away from all their future goals, an elaborate sabotage consisting of irrationality and laziness. People with the Commander personality type will root out such behavior wherever they go. Energetic – Rather than finding this process taxing Commanders are energized by it, genuinely enjoying leading their teams forward as they implement their plans and goals. Self-Confident – Commanders couldn’t do this if they were plagued by self-doubt – they trust their abilities, make known their opinions, and believe in their capacities as leaders. Strong-Willed – Nor do they give up when the going gets tough – Commander personalities strive to achieve their goals, but really nothing is quite as satisfying to them as rising to the challenge of each obstacle in their run to the finish line. Strategic Thinkers – Commanders exemplify the difference between moment-to-moment crisis management and navigating the challenges and steps of a bigger plan, and are known for examining every angle of a problem and not just resolving momentary issues, but moving the whole project forward with their solutions. Charismatic and Inspiring – These qualities combine to create individuals who are able to inspire and invigorate others, who people actually want to be their leaders, and this in turn helps Commanders to accomplish their often ambitious goals that could never be finished alone. Commander Weaknesses Stubborn and Dominant – Sometimes all this confidence and willpower can go too far, and Commanders are all too capable of digging in their heels, trying to win every single debate and pushing their vision, and theirs alone. Intolerant – “It’s my way or the highway” – People with the Commander personality type are notoriously unsupportive of any idea that distracts from their primary goals, and even more so of ideas based on emotional considerations. Commanders won’t hesitate a second to make that fact clear to those around them. Impatient – Some people need more time to think than others, an intolerable delay to quick-thinking Commanders. They may misinterpret contemplation as stupidity or disinterest in their haste, a terrible mistake for a leader to make. Arrogant – Commander personalities respect quick thoughts and firm convictions, their own qualities, and look down on those who don’t match up. This relationship is a challenge for most other personality types who are perhaps not timid in their own right, but will seem so beside overbearing Commanders. Poor Handling of Emotions – All this bluster, alongside the assumed supremacy of rationalism, makes Commanders distant from their own emotional expression and sometimes downright scornful of others’. People with this personality type often trample others’ feelings, inadvertently hurting their partners and friends, especially in emotionally charged situations. Cold and Ruthless – Their obsession with efficiency and unwavering belief in the merits of rationalism, especially professionally, makes Commanders incredibly insensitive in pursuing their goals, dismissing personal circumstances, sensitivities, and preferences as irrational and irrelevant. Romantic Relationships As in other areas of their lives, Commanders approach dating and relationships with a set of goals and a plan to achieve them, and proceed to do so with impressive energy and enthusiasm. People with the Commander personality type are in it to win, and will gladly take leading roles in relationships from the start, assuming personal responsibility for how smoothly things go and working actively to ensure a mutually rewarding experience. Romantic relationships are a serious business, and Commanders are in it for the long haul. Taking the Lead This sense of personal responsibility means that Commanders put a lot of energy into their relationships, and they show their creativity by always having something new on the agenda to keep things interesting, especially in the dating phase. At the same time though, Commander personalities keep their eyes on the long term, and if they determine that a relationship is heading towards a dead end, they will cut their losses and move on in what will seem to their partner an abrupt end to the attention they had been receiving. This occasional ruthlessness with personal relationships is Commanders’ primary weakness, and if they aren’t careful they can develop quite the reputation. Sensing others’ feelings and emotions will never be a comfortable skill for Commanders, but it is critical that they work consciously to develop it, both for their partners’ sake and for their own healthy emotional expression. If they don’t, they risk dominating and overruling their partners, and this insensitivity can easily break a relationship, especially early on. Loving Boldly But as all goes well in the dating phase and a future is deemed viable, people with the Commander personality type continue to impress with their creativity and energy. Their authentic confidence makes Commanders’ sex life dynamic to say the least, and they often push to explore new ways to express their affection with imaginative enthusiasm. Yet Commanders tend to have these innovations planned in advance, with some structure and predictability to their sex lives, leaving the true spontaneity to those less organized personality types. Commanders are extremely growth-oriented, and will seize any opportunity to improve themselves, listening to and acting on criticisms, so long as they are logical ones, and always striving to improve their knowledge. At the same time, Commanders expect this of their partners, and it is surprising to them that others don’t always share this attitude. Still more surprising to Commander personalities is others’ active efforts to avoid these tense situations. Commanders in particular would do well to remember that their approach is just one angle of a multi-faceted spectrum of alternatives. While Commanders may view criticism as the most efficient route (and they’re often right), they should bear in mind that their partners may be more interested in emotional support and growth, an area of self-improvement that Commanders themselves too often avoid. As with most things, balance is key, and Commanders should strive to meet their partners half-way, whatever their needs, be it through honest criticisms or steady emotional support and praise. As with other Analyst types, Commanders’ best matches are with other Intuitive (N) types, with one or two opposing traits to create more balance in the relationship. Mature Commanders are able to recognize and adapt to the needs of their partners, and know that even the most rational individuals have emotional needs that must be met. Fortunately the same logic that dismisses emotions is also able to recognize that a conciliatory attitude can be the best tool to get the job done. With their strong senses of responsibility and dedication, people with the Commander personality type are sure to make this effort, resulting in long-lasting, satisfying relationships. Friendships As in most aspects of their lives, in friendship Commanders seek personal growth and inspiration, and they often have a plan for how to accomplish it. Friendships of circumstance, built on things like shared routines, are not Commanders’ preferred method – rather, they pursue their friends, seek out individuals who share their passion for deep, meaningful discussions, and who enjoy learning and development as much as they do. It is not always easy to be Commanders’ friends – they demand a lot from these relationships – but they pay a great deal of attention to their friendships, and it is unlikely that it will ever feel stagnant. Commander friendships are built on ideas, and a lot of what they find enjoyable is the repartee of putting thoughts forward and defending them from assault from every angle. People with the Commander personality type are very smart and highly critical, and they won’t back down if they are put on the defensive – in fact, there’s no better way to earn their respect. It’s not easy to stand up to a personality as big and blustery as Commanders’, and they too often find that others crumple under the force they apply when they really start to enjoy themselves. Only the most hardened rationalists are able to hold their ground against strongly expressed Commander personalities, who neither need emotional support, nor understand others’ need for it. This lack of sensitivity is Commanders’ chiefest weakness. Their tendency to challenge their friends, question their conclusions, and dismiss emotional arguments as irrelevant is especially difficult for Feeling-oriented friends to cope with. Either a point is supported by logic and reason, or it is erroneous. Bridging the Gap More enlightened Commanders recognize that if ever there was an area where they could learn from others and improve themselves, it is in the realm of emotional sensitivity – to dismiss any aspect of personal growth borders on hypocrisy. Friendships with people from the Diplomat type group can be especially rewarding for Commanders, as the shared Intuitive (N) trait fosters an instantaneous connection that can bridge the chasm between their uninhibited logic and the recognition that cooperation and conciliation can often accomplish more than that logic ever could alone. Still, the bulk of Commanders’ friends will likely fall into the Analyst category, as all of these types share the same passion for logical, far-reaching ideas and critical debate. Anyone who can match Commanders’ ability to brainstorm and theorize will find an honest and dedicated friend. Anyone who can’t or won’t, as with many more down-to-earth types who often question the point of such discussions, will find themselves ignored – perhaps a situation that is best for everyone. Parenthood As parents, most Commanders must temper their strong-willed, hyper-logical approach to life in order to make room for their children’s needs and feelings. This by no means suggests that people with the Commander personality type are bad parents – far from it – simply that their relationships with children, who are typically more sensitive and less able to conduct truly rational analysis, require a great deal more emotional tact and personal liberty than they are accustomed to giving. But Commanders are always up for a challenge, and will take their roles as parents seriously and with the utmost sense of personal responsibility. Holding themselves to a higher standard than most, Commander personalities see the success of their children as a reflection of those personal standards, and want nothing more than to see them grow into smart, independent people who strive to achieve their goals. Establishing specific moral values is less important to Commanders than the cultivation of the intellect and independent, rational thought. Building Emotional ToleranceCommanders welcome differences of opinion, and this is true with their children as well. But while gladly having rational, well-thought-out discussions about roles and responsibilities, at the end of the day Commanders expect their authority to be respected. A disagreement is no excuse for shirking established responsibilities, and Commander parents can be utterly uncompromising in maintaining this structure. This strictness can be a tremendous source of tension in the household – a little flexibility can go a long way. When these debates devolve into emotional appeals is when Commander parents run into real trouble, as their persistent weakness with emotional tolerance makes dealing with growing children, especially adolescents, their most significant challenge. As in their other relationships, Commander parents should strive to strengthen this skill – often enough young children don’t have the words to express their needs rationally, and adolescents don’t have the patience for it, a perfectly natural condition. By learning to listen to emotional expression as a valid form of communication and responding in kind, Commanders can help to minimize emotional conflicts with their children, building trust that will help to smooth the otherwise rebellious teenage years. Fostering Independence Commander parents should remember that a part of developing that necessary sense of independence is being able to control one’s own schedule and activities, to chart one’s own course, at least to a certain extent. People with the Commander personality type will spare no effort for their children, but it’s sometimes the case that taking a deep breath and loosening their structures as their children grow and mature does more to achieve their goal of raising capable, intelligent adults than forced extracurriculars ever could. Career Paths It is in the world of careers that Commanders’ boldness and drive are truly at their best. No other personality type is better suited than Commanders to be the respected leader of an organization or team, and no other personality type enjoys it quite so much. Combining their vision, intelligence and determination to push ideas through to completion no matter the obstacles, Commanders are a force to be reckoned with. For Commanders, failure is not an option – they conceive a vision of the future, formulate a strategy to achieve that vision, and execute each step with ruthless precision. Structure and order are key, and if someone gets sloppy, or holds things back with incompetence, laziness or inefficiency, Commanders will not hesitate to come down, hard. Commander personalities pursue their goals with singular vision, and have strict standards for themselves and others that are designed above all else to be effective. This makes Commanders excellent corporate strategists, and their objectivity and clarity of thought make them respected lawyers and judges. None of this could work if no one could understand what Commanders were thinking, and they have the good fortune of being clear and concise communicators, especially in person, making business administration a comfortable fit – so long as their tasks don’t stray too far into routine maintenance and upkeep. Commanders also have a thirst for knowledge, and they aren’t afraid to use a principle once they’ve grasped its underlying mechanisms. Combining this with their leadership makes Commanders trying, but effective, university professors. Great Expectations The only problem is, it takes time for Commanders’ skills to be recognized, and stagnating as low-level employees will have them bouncing off the walls and deeply unhappy. People with the Commander personality type crave leadership and responsibility, growth and opportunity, and genuinely enjoy managing others to get a job done. Commanders are visionaries and leaders, not grunts or day-to-day administrators. Getting that to be recognized is not always easy, but Commanders are probably up to the task. Workplace Habits For people with the Commander personality type, the workplace is all but a natural habitat. Commanders’ efficiency and clear communication are valued, their leadership is admired, and their ability to simply get things done is unrivaled. That being said, some situations are more appropriate for Commanders than others – these qualities all point to a managerial or executive role, making any position of comparative powerlessness highly undesirable. Commander personality types are strident ones though, able to adapt themselves to just about any hierarchical relationship by doing what they do best: asserting their opinions, taking the initiative, and accomplishing feats that others thought impossible. Commander Subordinates Subordinate positions are challenging for Commanders, and it takes active management to ensure their satisfaction and engagement. Ever the high achievers, Commander subordinates set out to learn new skills and to seek out new challenges and responsibilities, eager to prove that nothing is impossible with a little hard work. If things get a little slow, Commander personalities may slip into periods of absentmindedness, but when they feel involved in the projects around them, they prove well organized and well prioritized. Commanders hold themselves to very high standards, but a lot of what sets this tone is feedback from their environment – namely, criticism from their managers. Objective, rational statements about what is done right and what can be done better are helpful to Commanders, and far from resenting such criticisms, they appreciate them. Opportunities for growth keep people with the Commander personality type engaged and productive, and so long as their managers recognize this as their primary responsibility, it will be a fruitful and satisfying relationship. Commander Colleagues Among colleagues, Commanders are sociable and greatly enjoy sharing ideas and critiques in their frequent brainstorming sessions. Natural leaders that they are, Commanders tend to assert themselves into positions as representatives and project leads, considering their objectivity and charisma the perfect qualities for these roles. Commander personalities enjoy working with equals, but people must demonstrate that they are equals – anyone Commanders view as being less competent or driven will see only condescension and arrogance. Commanders are strong-willed, even dominant, and though they enjoy inspiring and tutoring others, the energy they bring to the process can seem overbearing. When these roles are reversed, Commanders’ mentors should bear in mind that their students are very rational and respect firm confidence – hand-holding, emotional appeals or wavering indecision will likely burn the bridge then and there. In a partnership, what is best is what is most effective, and time wasted sugarcoating reality is just that – time wasted. Commander Managers Commander managers are confident, charismatic communicators, and they communicate but one vision: to get the job done as efficiently as possible, and to the highest standard of quality. All else is subordinate to that objective, but the means by which Commanders achieve it cause others to adopt this cause as their own. Commanders are natural leaders, and their ability to formulate a strategy and to identify the strengths of each member of their teams, incorporating those abilities into their plans so that each individual fills a unique and important role, makes them able motivators. But while these efforts boost morale and satisfaction among Commanders’ likeminded subordinates, they are still crafted to achieve that ultimate goal of timely and exceptional work. Those seen as inefficient by their Commander managers, or who demonstrate themselves to be lazy or to produce shoddy work will know in no uncertain terms of their failure to impress. The only way to recover is to comply, the only alternative is to find a new manager to impress, somewhere else. Conclusion Armed with a powerful intellect and strategic thinking, Commanders can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. At the same time, their many quirks, such as often unconstrained rationalism, lead to many misunderstandings. Chances are, you’ve accepted that as part of who you are, and maybe even grown proud of it. But embracing that disconnection isn’t a requirement for Commanders. It’s a misused defense mechanism, leading you down a lonely, inefficient path – gaining insight into yourself and others is so much more rewarding. CORE THEORY Assertive Commander (ENTJ-A) vs. Turbulent Commander (ENTJ- T) Commander personality types generally think and act big. But their Identity personality traits can make a difference in how they express themselves and how they react to life, other people, and the world around them. For all their distinct and vivid common characteristics, Assertive Commanders (ENTJ-A) and Turbulent Commanders (ENTJ-T) can have some deep differences from each other. Let’s examine how being Assertive or Turbulent affects these notably driven and expressive people. Internal Effects While both personality types tend to forge ahead willfully in life, one of the biggest differences between Assertive and Turbulent Commanders is how they respond inside to routine stress. Assertive Commanders are much more likely to keep their stress under control. They have an easier time moving forward in a resolute Commander way, despite the feelings and thoughts that stress brings. 93% of Assertive Commanders agree that they effectively manage the stress in their life, versus 47% of Turbulent Commanders. It’s much more difficult for Turbulent Commanders to prevent even moderately stressful events from affecting them. However, Commanders, in general, see themselves as being on top of things and likely to rise to meet life’s challenges. So, while Turbulent members of this personality type may experience stress more acutely, it doesn’t necessarily derail their momentum in life. It may alter their approach somewhat, though, when stress leads to negative perceptions. Turbulent Commanders are more likely to feel pessimistic following a setback, and this can affect their decision-making process. Notably, they’re more likely than their Assertive counterparts to take steps to avoid stress or seek a pause to gather themselves. By contrast, Assertive Commanders are more likely to feel that stress helps them focus or even perform better. Both variants of this personality type can be aggressive and energetic. But in the case of Assertive individuals, stress is more likely to feed their motivation – and perhaps even increase their energy. 68% of Assertive Commanders say they perform tasks better when under stress than when they are calm, compared to 50% of Turbulent Commanders. When it comes to broader emotions, Assertive Commanders likely have an easier time mastering their state of mind as well. The Identity characteristics that make them less vulnerable to the effects of stress can also decrease the influence of negative emotions. This is significant because Commanders tend to prize their sense of dispassionate and decisive rationality. The Assertive trait can support this personality type’s clarity of thought. 62% of Turbulent Commanders agree that negative emotions affect their ability to think clearly to a large degree, versus 38% of Assertive Commanders. Emotional control is important to most Commanders – they value it in themselves and respect it in others. But the way that Identity affects how these personality types are influenced by emotion isn’t just about sensitivity to negative effects or feelings. It can also play a part in how strongly, freely, and readily Commanders experience and express a wide range of emotions. For example, compared to their Assertive counterparts, Turbulent Commanders are relatively open to “softer” or more positive feelings as well. 70% of Turbulent Commanders say they keep many things in their room that hold special sentimental value for them, compared to 45% of Assertive Commanders. But while Assertive Commanders may be less likely to connect with inner sentiments, they’re also less likely to delve into darker feelings. This benefits their self-esteem. Not only is their emotional state more stable, but it’s usually more self-forgiving. Assertive Commanders are far more likely to report that they rarely feel ashamed of themselves. Overall, neither variant of this personality type is known for avoiding conflict or difficulty. But it’s notable that Assertive Commanders tend to have an easier time letting go of agitated thoughts or feelings that may arise from such situations. These personalities are far less likely to report that they lie awake at night thinking about the things that upset them during the day. By contrast, Turbulent Commanders often struggle to move on or relax once they have become upset. External Effects One of the reasons Assertive Commanders seem to have an easier time letting go might be that they aren’t as easily upset in the first place. They have the same capacity to become upset, but it’s not as likely to occur as it is for Turbulent Commanders. An Assertive Identity offers Commanders a somewhat greater – though far from absolute – immunity to negative reactions to their experiences with people. They are far less likely than Turbulent Commanders to report being easily upset by other people. 91% of Assertive Commanders feel like they have control over their emotions, versus 59% of Turbulent Commanders. But Turbulent Commanders’ more sensitive reactions can also have positive implications. When (or if) Commanders themselves are the source of conflict or offense, it’s the Turbulent personalities that are more likely to be bothered by their actions. Commanders can be brusque, but Turbulent Commanders are much more likely to report that they feel anxious if they know they’ve upset someone. Accordingly, they may likewise demonstrate more concern. Assertive Commanders are less likely to feel bad if they’ve hurt someone and, consequently, aren’t as likely to take care to avoid doing so. 54% of Turbulent Commanders say they pick up most of their social cues from either the environment they’re in or other people they’re with, compared to 24% of Assertive Commanders. Even in dynamic, focused personality types like Commanders, the Turbulent trait is usually associated with greater emotional volatility. This can affect their conscious output just as much as their reactions, but not always negatively. It can apply to positive interactions as well. For example, Turbulent Commanders are more likely to report that they enjoy openly showing affection for people they care about. Commanders also externally express their Identity differences in ways beyond the social realm. One of the most notable contrasts between the variants is their sense – and demonstration – of confidence. Assertive Commanders are broadly possessed of greater confidence, both innately and in response to external events. 92% of Assertive Commanders rate their overall level of self-confidence as high or very high, compared to 51% of Turbulent Commanders. This difference in confidence can have far-reaching effects in life, influencing how quickly Commanders recover from unwanted outcomes and how optimistic they are. Both personality variants tend to be bold, but Turbulent Commanders are more prone to worry and less likely to maintain their motivation in the face of difficulty. 87% of Assertive Commanders say their motivation is more likely to increase when something proves more difficult than they thought it would be, compared to 56% of Turbulent Commanders. One manifestation of confidence is the way Commander personalities view themselves physically. Assertive Commanders are less likely to be anxious about their body image and somewhat more likely to consider themselves attractive. Moreover, their opinion of the way they look is less likely to change often. 78% of Assertive Commanders agree that they’re generally happy with the way they look, versus 45% of Turbulent Commanders. This echoes the general theme of stability versus volatility that is seen between the two Identities, as well as relating to the specific subject of confidence in the way they look. Summary Turbulent Commanders are less likely to manage their stress effectively and tend to have a hard time letting go of things that upset them. Assertive Commanders are more likely to feel that stress helps them focus and perform. Negative emotions are more likely to affect Turbulent Commanders’ ability to think clearly. Assertive Commanders are less likely to feel ashamed or maintain a negative self-image.Turbulent Commanders are more likely to be easily upset by others and to be anxious if they upset someone else. Assertive Commanders have an easier time than their Turbulent counterparts feeling self-confident and maintaining their motivation in the face of difficulty. Turbulent Commanders are more likely to enjoy openly showing affection for those they care about, as well as sentimentality in general. Conclusions There are many unique ways that this powerful personality type displays the differences between Assertive and Turbulent Identity. It’s important to note that each Identity is associated with specific challenges and advantages in certain situations, but neither personality trait automatically has greater benefits. Given this, learning to leverage the best of their traits while also balancing their extremity helps Commanders lead happy and successful lives.
