Daniel Goleman, a psychologist, was the first to popularize the trait  Emotional Intelligence, sometimes referred to as EI. Emotional  Intelligence is a person’s capacity to be aware of her or his emotions  and feelings towards others to influence their thinking and actions. The  four components of EI are:

1. Self-awareness – This is your ability to read your own emotions  accurately to know how your actions or lack thereof affect others.
2. Self-management – This is your ability to control or regulate your emotions and act with integrity.
3. Social-awareness – Gives you the ability to understand the needs of others and show empathy towards them.
4. Relationship management – this is your ability to communicate clearly and convincingly, reduce conflict and build strong bonds.

In this homework assignment, you will develop a table on performance appraisals (PA) and how they are applied to training.

• In column 1, identify three different types of PAs that can be offered.
• In column 2, analyze how the PA can be applied to a training effort.
• In column 3, identify one type of training and one assessment tool for each PA that could be used to identify training success.

Theory-based treatment planning, the type you will use throughout this course, is informed and guided by your theoretical orientation. Incorporating your theoretical orientation into treatment planning will help you set goals and choose treatment techniques and interventions appropriate for the client(s) you serve (Gehart & Tuttle, 2003). This week, you apply two counseling theories, Bowenian and structural, to formulate your treatment planning and apply appropriate interventions.

In this Assignment, you watch videos of counselors demonstrating the use of Bowenian and structural theories in family counseling. You then formulate treatment plans for the couples and/or families in the videos, applying the theories in question and justifying the use of appropriate interventions.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

Based on the theory demonstrated in both videos:

• Define the problem in each video.
• Create a theory-based treatment plan, including short- and long-term goals for the couples and/or families.
• Explain two theory-based interventions you would use and justify your selection.
• Explain one anticipated outcome of each theory-based intervention.

PORTFOLIO PROJECT GUIDE

Option #1: Future of the Workplace

As we have learned, the nature of the workplace is changing rapidly. The rise in the use of robots and artificial intelligence has decimated the employment prospects for many employees in many industries. It has also changed the nature of the role of human resource professionals. With that as a background, compose a paper that addresses the following:

• Provide a general overview on the rise in the use of robots and artificial intelligence in the workplace. Present evidence that the use of robots and artificial intelligence is increasingly taking the employment opportunities to which humans have traditionally performed, including the level and scope of this trend.
• Assess how this trend has affected the promise and security of continued employment for some/many in the United States economy, including an assessment on how the nature and type of employment is changing for the typical US worker (e.g., more part-time employment or static wages).
• Present the criteria a human resource professional should review before determining whether a position should be filled by a robot or through artificial intelligence.
• Discuss how these trends will affect the role of human resources, including the typical human resource functions such as recruitment, compensation, labor relations, risk and liability management, and organizational effectiveness.
• Finally, discuss the role and duty a human resource professional has to ensure full employment for employees and, most importantly, the responsibility human resources should assume for those workers displaced by a world where robots and artificial intelligence are increasingly performing.

Your paper should be:

• 12-15 pages (approximately 3,000-4,500 words) in length (not including title and reference pages).

• Evaluate the effectiveness of both team-based performance management  and individual-based performance management. Suggest three pros and  three cons of each type of management. Justify your response.
• Next, choose three of the best practices for addressing the facets  of team-based performance management. Recommend a strategy for your  current or past organization to incorporate the identified practices.  Provide a rationale for your response.
