http://growingleaders.com/blog/first-soft-skill-develop-students/ ~ Discuss several challenges youth may face in the workplace. According to the article, some challenges that youth face in the workplace are: "they often fail to show up on time, gossip about colleagues or never develop a strong work ethic." Many times students tend to treat their workplace like their bedrooms and dorm rooms, meaning that they are carless, untidy, unprofessional and too casual. ~ Discuss social intelligence and explain why it is important? As per the article, social intelligence is defined as “The capacity to effectively negotiate complex social relationships and environments.” Social Intelligence is critical for everyone's skill set because while it is important to be book smart and have a high IQ we need to be able to make connections. Students need to be have the capacity to develop relationships and be aware of their work and social environments. ~ Name one thing that spoke to you personally about the article. One thing that spoke to me personally about the article is that it mentions how students tend to get caught up in side conversations and gossip regarding colleagues. I have been at my internship for about three months and along with me there are 3 other students too. Unfortunately, I have personally witnessed the way that students get caught up in unimportant conversations and gossip. I try my very best to avoid such conversations and focus on my tasks in the clinic. |
