Top 10 Finer Aspects of Making a BIG Impression

Top 10 Finer Aspects of Making a BIG Impression | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

What sets one apart from the rest at work? Is it being appropriately dressed, or exemplifying immaculate conduct? Is it the aura of being in control, or that of someone bankable? Is it an empathetic nature, or the best reaction to a sticky situation? Or a combination of all of it, maybe!

 

Exemplary professional etiquette is an unwritten code of conduct that governs interactions among colleagues in a business setting. This is an important part of soft skill training programs because it creates a professional, mutually respectful work atmosphere, and improves communication, which translates into better customer relationships. Simply put, it’s a complete win-win!

How the best bosses give praise, according to science

How the best bosses give praise, according to science | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

 

Giving praise is more than just an occasional compliment. When done right, it can change your work environment for the better. Research says that praise that's sincere and specific will not only make people perform better, but makes them more open to criticism. Emotionally intelligent praise can create a more "psychologically safe" workplace — meaning people will feel safe to make mistakes and take risks.

Citing sources: University Libraries serve key role supporting student research | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
What would happen if your boss asked you to get information and the information you came back with wasn’t credible? This is a situation many students may find themselves in if they lack the skills they need to decipher between credible sources and “fake news.” For example, sources found through a Google search aren’t always trustworthy. Using or providing sources that aren’t credible could result in very serious consequences.
