Greetings my fellow blogging personas!
It sure has been months since I last blogged on
my own personal website regarding my 100 Day Happy Challenge Project! You can
find the link to it at my own personal website that I created last year
at https://meilielizabethwest.wordpress.com/!
But it's blocked at the moment, because I want
to make some adjustments to the site.
Don't worry! I'll return to it sooner or
later!
In the meantime, I thought I'd go ahead and
introduce to you my new blogging project for my Digital Marketing and Analytics
class for this semester.
As someone who is interested and is highly
considering a career in Human Resources Development, I've
always been fascinated by people's personal motivations and strive to
understand why they do what they what they do in their job. Consider the
following questions below for yourself:
1. What motivates you to go to
work and do your best everyday? Is it your personal values? The company
culture? The pay?
1. What's your leadership
style? How do you motivate others to work with you? Is it through intimidation?
Schmoozing? Order and Structure? Staying optimistic? By helping and assisting
others?
1. Primarily, why are you
doing what you are doing now for a living? Is it for the prestigious title,
social status, and rank? Is it for the pay so that you can demolish your
student loans as soon as possible? Or do you find a personal, genuine purpose
or enjoyment behind what you do in your job?
1. What makes you tick at your
job?
It's
questions like these that make me wonder why people do what they do and what
their motivations are. I've always been intrigued by the psychology behind it
all, which brings me to my point in my new blogging project. Throughout this
school semester, I will be blogging about the Social Change Model. As stated in the link, the
purpose of this leadership development tool is to "emphasize the need to
understand yourself and others in an effort to create community change."
Each blog
post of mine will be based on components that make up the Social Change Model.
There are 3 components (perspectives) that make up the model. They are the
individual, group, and society/community. Each perspective is comprised of
various subcomponents. **Picture provided below of the Social Change
Model**
I will be
blogging about each subcomponent and each subcomponent will have some type of
interactive leadership development activity incorporated into it. Feel free to
participate in the interactive activities and hope you have fun taking on your
leadership journey!
TTYL!
XOXO,
MW
