Tool Kit: Personal Effectiveness Scale The extent to which one shares ideas, feelings, experiences, impressions, perceptions and personal information with others shows the degree of one's openness. Openness contributes a great deal to one's effectiveness as a person. In this exercise students will assess their own personal effectiveness using a tool called the Personal Effectiveness Scale. This tool has been designed to explore behaviour and feelings while interacting with people. This assessment has 2 parts: Part I is to grade responses to the 15 statements that follow on a scale of 0-4. Part II is to score your responses. The tool would help the students generate insight about the three aspects: self-disclosure, openness to feedback and perceptiveness. Self-Disclosure Self-disclosure or openness is sharing ones ideas, feelings, experience, impressions, perceptions and other relevant personal information. Openness to Feedback Feedback is a reaction or response that we receive from others regarding our attitudes, behaviour and performance. Feedback is also a reaction or response that we give to others regarding their attitudes, behaviour and performance. Perceptiveness The ability to pick up verbal and non-verbal cues from others indicate perceptiveness. Perceptiveness is being sensitive to and insightful about other people. This characteristic should be combined with openness and using feedback usefully to increase personal effectiveness. Part I: Respond to the 15 statements Read each statement given below. Grade your responses to each on a scale from 0 - 4, depending upon how close it is to your behaviour. Indicate this grade in the right hand blank space that follows each statement in the answer sheet: Key: Write 4 if it is most characteristic of you, or you always or almost always behave or feel this way. Write 3 if it is fairly true of you, or you quite often behave or feel this way Write 2 if it is somewhat true in your case. Write 1 if it is rarely true of you, or you only occasionally behave or feel this way. Write 0 if it is not at all characteristic of you, or you never behave or feel this way. 1. I find it difficult to be frank with people unless I know them very well.________ 2. I listen carefully to others peoples opinions about my behaviour.________ Page 09 of 13 3. I tend to say things that turn out to be out of place.________

20/12/2011-OB-403 4. Generally, I hesitate to express my feelings to others.________ 5. When someone directly tells me how he feels about my behaviour, I tend to close up and stop listening.________ 6. On hindsight, I regret why I said something tactlessly. (On looking back, I regret why I said something that was thoughtless).________ 7. I am quite strong in expressing my opinions in a group or to a person, even if this may be unacceptable.________ 8. I take steps to find out how my behaviour has been perceived by the person with whom I have been interacting.________ 9. I deliberately observe how a person will take what I am going to tell him, and accordingly communicate to him. (I consciously observe how people feel about what I am going to tell them and accordingly adapt what I say).________ 10. When someone discusses his problem, I do not spontaneously share my experiences and personal problems, of a similar nature with him. (When people discuss their problems, I do not freely/impulsively share my experiences and personal problems of a similar nature with them).________ 11. If people criticize me, I hear them at that time but do not bother myself about it later.________ 12. I fail to pick up cues about the feelings and reactions of others when I am involved in an argument or a conversation. (I fail to pick up hints about other peoples feelings and reactions when I am involved in an argument or a conversation).________ 13. I enjoy talking with others about my personal concerns and matters.________ 14. I value what people have to say about my style, behaviour, etc.________ 15. I am often surprised to discover or be told that people were put off, bored or annoyed when I thought they were enjoying interacting with me. (I am often surprised to discover or be told that people were driven away, bored or annoyed, while I actually thought that they were enjoying interacting with me).________ Part II: Score you responses Step 1 Transfer your grades in the Answer Sheet to the Score Sheet given to you after reversing your grades on those items marked with (*) as shown below: Original grading: 0 1 2 3 4 Reversed grading: 4 3 2 1 0 For example, if your original grading to statement 10 was 3 mark it now as 1 in the space provided. Score Sheet Statement Grade Statement Grade Statement Grade *1 2 *3 *4 *5 *6 7 8 9 *10 *11 *12 13 14 *15 Total ( ) Total ( ) Total ( ) Self-disclosure Openness to Feedback Perceptiveness Step 2 Total the grades in each of the three columns. The total score will range between 0 and 20.

Step 3

Page 10 of 13

20/12/2011-OB-403 Classify the total in each column as Low level (L) or High level (H) by writing L or H in the brackets against each of the three total scores; if the total is 11 or below write L; if the total is above 11 write H. You will now be able to identify the level of your personal effectiveness in the three different dimensions, namely self disclosure, openness to feedback, and perceptiveness. Tool Kit: Case Discussion Case studies: Analyzing the dimensions of Personal Effectiveness In this exercise, students will work in groups of 7-8 members each, to analyze and discuss two case studies. Based on what you have learned about the three dimensions of personal effectiveness, analyze and discuss the case. Case study 1: A TB Control Programme manager had five TB workers under him. One of them, Chacko, was an extremely cheerful, good, conscientious worker and always produced good results. The other four were not so efficient and motivated. At staff meetings and other informal meetings, the manager took great pains to show the four workers where they had gone wrong and how they could improve. He would give them praise and encouragement whenever they did well. Chacko started getting moody and was usually silent or abrupt in his behaviour, but continued working well. The manager started noticing Chackos behaviour. One day, he called Chacko aside and asked him the reason for his recent behaviour. But Chacko did not say anything and changed the topic. As the behaviour continued, the manager called him again and said he was worried. He asked whether there was something upsetting Chacko. Was he unhappy? Then Chacko blurted out You always praise the others and keep encouraging them. But you have never praised me even though I work so hard and with such sincerity! I feel hurt and unrecognized. The manager thought for some time and realized that what Chacko said was true. He apologized profusely and said that he had unconsciously refrained from doing so because he felt that it might upset and discourage the others, make them jealous, make them feel that Chacko was his pet. He explained that this was the only reason, but realized that it was wrong and unfair. He said he had felt this way for some time, but did not have the courage to admit it. But he now made it known to Chacko that he greatly valued Chackos excellent work and contribution to the programme and would definitely not hesitate to express his appreciation of Chacko publicly from now on. Chacko now understood his manager and went back to his cheerful self and worked with even greater enthusiasm. He even made sure that he helped his colleagues whenever they needed it. Questions: 1. Was the manager personally effective in the beginning? 2. Did the manager achieve personal effectiveness finally? 3. What were the progressive steps in the interaction between the manager and the staff? 4. What took place at each step in terms of the three dimensions of personal effectiveness? 5.

Page 11 of 13 Case study 2:

20/12/2011-OB-403 A goal-oriented TB Control Programme manager was assigned to a new district. The community in this district was different from the ones he had worked in previously. The people he are had a different cultural background, were mostly illiterate and living under very poor conditions. The drop-out rate was high. After a week, some of the staff members put forth a few ideas to improve the situation. One suggested interacting more with the community even on non-health issues. He suggested organizing some functions on festival days and inviting community members and community leaders. This would establish a rapport and give them more credibility. Another suggested having talks with the local womens organizations and youth groups. A third suggested involving the local NGOs in health education and being DOTS providers. At each suggestion the manager got angrier and angrier and kept shouting: What do you know about TB control? He listed all his previous achievements and told the staff to just get on with their work! The staff stopped giving suggestions. They were also so afraid of his temper that they were reluctant to ask for leave even when they really needed it. They became very discontented. They lost interest and went about their work mechanically. The programme suffered more day by day. One day, sitting over a cup of coffee with his very close friend, the manager poured his heart out. He said he was very depressed at the way things were going and could not understand the failures here whereas he had been so successful in his previous appointments. The friend assured him that he was still the same man dedicated, focused and a good worker, but perhaps the circumstances were different here. Maybe he should listen to the staff and try out some of their ideas. He could still keep working with the same energy and efficiency, but change tactics a little. The manager called a meeting of the staff the next day. He apologized for his previous behaviour. He admitted that he had felt threatened when his own staff had to offer suggestions. He said they knew the community better than he did and encouraged them to plan strategies. The staff were energized. They came up with excellent plans and started implementing them. At each stage they were given encouragement and praise for their achievements. After a few months, the programme achieved even higher targets and goals than were expected! Questions for discussions: 1. Was the manager personally effective in the beginning? 2. Did the manager achieve personal effectiveness finally? 3. What were the progressive steps in the interaction between the manager and the staff? 4. What took place at each step in terms of the three dimensions of personal effectiveness?
