Workplace Incivility

Select and complete one (1) of the following assessments from your text Box 8. 2 Workplace impudence Scale I selected this exercise since my organization recently had a change in leading at the highest levels. I thought to compare/contrast the rudeness Scale under the old and new regimes. I concentrated on my interactions with my superiors. Old Leadership New Leadership Put you down or was move to you? Yes. This was a frequent occurrence at staff No. meetings Paid little attention to your statement or Yes. This was a frequent occurrence at staff No. showed little interest in your opinion? meetings Made demeaning or derogatory remarks about you? No. The boss always disconnected his professional No. feelings from in the flesh(predicate) ones.He frequently would question you professional competence, but would not cross the line into a personal attack. Addressed you in unprofessional terms either Yes. This seems to be at odds with the above No. publically or pri vately? statement, but these did not seem to be a personal attack.

No. We never had this sort of relationship. discussion of personal matters? As can be seen above, there have been a wholesale change in the leadership style in my organization. Everyone that has been promoted to a leadership go under has had to attend at least one Leadership Continuum (more likely, he has attended at least f ive). One of the core concepts that is taught is the theory to Praise in Public, put down in Private. It has constantly amazed me how many leaders never picked up on that lesson. I try to embrace that lesson with my subordinates in all of my interactions. With the new leadership in place, we seem to produce the same output as before, but with a higher morale level. The new boss still challenges your professional judgment to keep you on your toes, but it is accomplished in a far less confrontational manner. In conclusion, It seems as if the Incivility Scale for my organization has shifted significantly in the civil direction pic
