Goal Setting and Motivation

Establishing short-term and long-term goals proves be a road map for progressing in every sphere of life (Schweitze, Ordonez, & Douma, 2002). As said by Goldstein, goals provide a sense of direction and purpose. Goal setting starts with defining the goals, breaking it down into tasks, preparing a network diagram that represents process flow, then making a schedule, analyze the risks involved and finally get busy starting off with it (Dobson, 2008). The whole process of goal setting itself serves to be a motivation for me. Especially at my new place, I will require more details about how to go about work that best serves the need of the hour. Therefore, my motivation starts at the point I am asked to set goals in accordance to the company objectives. Following the goal setting process and procedures, I as Executive organizational design, will prefer these goal setting considerations. Initially, Supervisor must take along the incumbent while deriving the department's goal from organizational goals. The finalized department's goal must be made clear to the staff. Supervisors along with the incumbent must be involved in goal setting process for each individual. Supervisor must make sure that individual's assigned goals do not conflict with any other staff member. Supervisor must also rest assure that the goals are not in a conflict with the organizational goals. In case of working in teams, each team member must have their own work specific goals along with a common team goal to counter social loafing.

Non-verbal and cultural barriers to communication

It is equally essential to address the nonverbal and cultural barriers to communication while working at a new workplace. There are several ways that I can adopt to address this serious matter such as gathering information, creating rapport, and clearing barriers that intervene while mediating (Madonik, 2001). Culture plays a vital role in which ways nonverbal communication influences relationships. To avoid nonverbal barriers at my new workplace, I will study the nonverbal signals before joining my new position. This will help me to understand how to behave in a certain situation and which nonverbal expressions may create a positive or a negative impact. Therefore, after studying about my new workplace environment, I would prefer to be more expressive in order to create a more positive first impression. This may create initial interaction with colleagues and bosses more social and positive. It may also help in building relationships and maintaining over the course of work life (Feldman, 1996). Moreover, I would prefer to adapt the company culture so that my communication may get at an equal frequency as of all the staff working here. Here, being individualistic is considered more valuable than being collectivist in nature. So my terms and conditions for work are in correlation with the cultural environment of the company. This helps me to avoid unnecessary communication barriers.
