job help: How will you apply the knowledge you have learned about effective - Help.com

There’s this course at my school called “oganizational behavior.” I’m sure many other colleges “require” it for the business undergrad programs. This course is nothing but common sense repackaged in fancy big words. The world is already complicated enough.

I agree w/ rebe in talking with people and not making assumptions or “pre-judgments” about them. I think another practical way is to be extra careful about the different cultural, socioeconomic characteristics of others. In other words, be aware of THE TIMES and be politically correct when you speak/carry yourself in public/workplace. For example, I’ve seen some “living under the rock for the past 40 years” white people call AFRICAN-AMERICANS “negroes” or “the colored guy.” I’m aware that not all white people are this out of tune with the times.

Another thing, hide your polictical/religious stance by demonstrating a neutral point of view, or give whomever brings up the subject w/ you an ambigious impression of your stance. And if people keep prying and acting nosy by trying to get you to be more direct, then “turn the tables” on them by asking them their point of view, and even vilifying them in front of others so that they look like the bad guy or even stupid.
