Paper Summary:
This paper examines the importance of self-monitoring in the workplace. The paper first describes the benefits and the detrimental effects this can have if not performed appropriately. The paper then presents two scenarios in which the existing behavior and associated desires of the persons involved can be used to help them modify their own behavior towards a more acceptable level.From the Paper:
"Currently, the main problem with Alice is that she attempts to please everybody, and that others view her as deceitful. She is not making meaningful contributions to teams, but instead is attempting to be what she believes others want her to be. I will use this tendency to please to help Alice develop self-monitoring skills that are more acceptable to her team members. While talking to Alice, I will then ask her how important it is to her to be popular. I will tell her that her current actions are not making her very popular and suggest ways in which to modify her behavior to change this."Sample of Sources Used:
