Understanding People
Abstract
This paper explores how another individual can understand people in three different categories of; human behavior, influencing people, and the diversity challenge. Before you can understand people, you have to understand some of the influences that affect their behavior, persuade their behavior, and/or have generalized knowledge of human behavior. Part of understanding people and can come from understanding diversity, and how to deal with diversity. In, addition when understanding people, a person would need to know what is needed to meet another ones needs, such as their “Hierarchy of needs.”
Understanding People Understanding people such as how the act, behave, or react can be a challenge, and it is important to know the parts that drive human behavior. To be able to manage, lead or deal with people a general understanding of human behavior, such as psychology and sociology is needed. In addition you would have to know how to influence people, or persuade them to achieve common objectives. Finally, when dealing with people, there needs to be a knowledge, understanding, and respect for diversity.
Human behavior is a behavior shown by any one person and is the result of some form of influence, such as culture, attitude, emotions, values, ethics, persuasion, and/or genetics. Typically behavior is evaluated on what is normal for the group or the “social norm”, and is rated by other individuals based upon what they believe is normal for the group. Many things can affect human behavior, from a requested behavior in exchange for a reward, or a behavior based on what is expected of them to receive a pay check at work. Influencing people, directly affects their behavior. It has been said that, “everybody has a price,” which basically means that for the right amount of monetary compensation a person would do whatever you wanted them to do, money being the influencing factor.
