Managing Other Opinions Assignment

Managing other opinions is the foundation of influencing other people, a critical skill in today's environment in which MDP students must work with so many people to do their job. People are persuaded by different things. Some people are impressed by a strong, logical argument, while others are swayed by a forceful, impassioned explanation.

1: Participants will interview one CHR manager who seems particularly skilled at gaining agreement from others. Participant will present to the class as to: what techniques does this person use, what does this person do if he/she runs into roadblocks, how does this person state his/her argument, what in particular appeals to you when you listen to this person.

2: In the presentation, each participant will receive peers’ evaluation on the participant’s presentation/communication skills, i.e. his/her ability to influence peers’ opinions to give the highest marks.

Where is the MDP log????

Two weeks ago you talked in coching about the challenges you have with your assignment, especially about timing. During that session, as well as last Tuesday, the MDP team together discussed some guidelines for the planning of projects and assignments. You agreed that this would help you. You agreed that this therefore should be be posted in the Logbook. Please tell me where I can find it....

MDP 07 Logbook

The MDP Logbook has moved to this page !

This is the new page where you can find the MDP 07 logbook.

The MDP Logbook has been used by MDP partticipants to post their logs of each training session. Continue with your logs like before, but no need to click the "MDP 07 logbook" link anymore; you can now post your logs right on this site. Just like you did before, you can add a "comment" to this posting.
