Leaderships Traits - Empower Team Leader

leadership is about capacity. the capacity of leaders to listen and observe, to use their expertise as a starting point to encourage dialogue between all levels of decision-making, to establish processes and transparency in decision-making, to articulate their own value and visions clearly but not impose them. Leadership is about setting and not just reacting to agendas, identifying problems, and initiating change that makes for substantial improvement rather than managing change.” Ann Marie E. McSwain

Being A good Follower
How can your team look up to you if you yourself don't have any respect for the authority? You're supposed to be the prime example of how a person should behave. Besides, there are certain disciplines that come with being a good follower.

For example, a manager who has gone through the hardships of serving coffee at a popular coffee ship will be able to immediately pinpoint his team's weakness and how the overall operation can be improved, as opposed to someone who has never even made coffee. Knowing what your followers are going through makes you all the more effective as a team leader.

Being Self-Motivated
What makes a good team leader is self-motivation. Nobody's going to mollycoddle when your team starts operation. Nobody's going to be there to hold your hand and uplift your spirits. That is your job, You're the one who always needs to be motivated so that you, in turn, can motivate your team.

Being A good Communicator
Good communication makes a good team leader. It's a two-way street. You have to know how to give out orders clearly and efficiently. Should you fail to do this, your operation will most likely end up half-baked.

On the other hand, you also have to know how to listen well. Your team might have ideas that are worth listening to. Or they might have something important to say. Being a good listener enables you to understand where each member of your team is coming from and how they think.

Leaders don't live like kings because they're too busy making sure that their team is operating like a well-oiled machine. However, effective leaders are also greatly rewarded for all their hard work.

Psikotes konsep dan contoh test karyawan (base on pengalaman) part 1

Saya mau cerita sedikit mengenai psikotes untuk karyawan (base on pengalaman), bagaimanapun "hunuslah pedangmu sebelum berperang" kalau anda blank sekali mengenai psikotes untuk penyeleksian karyawan, sebaiknya anda ikuti cerita saya, selama 4 bulan menggeluti dunia psikologi, juga berdiskusi dengan HRD/Mahasiswa yang masih belajar (theory) dan lulusan psikologi, disini yang akan saya sedikit ceritakan mengenai "Pola standard psikotest (mungkin ga ya berubah?) untuk calon karyawan". ok langsung pada pokok permasalahan :

1. Logical Test (test logika) Kuantitatif Deret angka hurup
Mungkin untuk anda yang suka dan gemar bahasa pemograman (komputer) ini hanya hal biasa (juga yang seneng aritmetika) tapi untuk orang yang baru saja mengetahui logical test tsb mungkin bingung, apa yang harus dijawab? gimana? 6 9 12 15 Makanan apa ini?

Contoh : (ini hanyalah beberapa contoh logical test)
  • A, C, F, J, O, .....
  • 9, 16, 25, 36, ......
  • 9, 9, 6, 9, 3........
  • 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, .....
  • 3, 5, 13, 4, 6, 14, 5, 7, 15,...
Gimana tuh jawabnya?
A, C, F, J, O, 
Polanya 1234/B,DE,GHI,KLMN anda pasti sudah bisa jawab apa hurup yang harus dijawab selanjutnya

dan untuk contoh selanjutnya anda sudah pasti bisa menjawabnya, yang pasti perhatikan dahulu POLA dari soal Tsb. ingat waktu anda hanya beberapa menit saja untuk menjawab persoalan-persoalan psikotest tersebut, dahulukanlah soal-soal yang memang Pola soal tersebut mudah/cepat dimengerti,

Note:Apabila ada POLA pertanyaan yang memang rumit dan susah sekali untuk dimengerti (menurut anda), tinggalkan saja (jangan di isi dengan jawaban yang asal (tapi tergantung anda juga :))) jawaban yang anda salah jawab akan mengurangi point jawaban benar anda.

2.Logika Penalaran (apalagi ini?)
Anda akan disuguhkan Makanan gambar yang bertubi-tubi yang terlihat rumit. Lihat contoh gambar disebelah, rumitakan? (ga X)
POLA untuk kasus penjawaban psikotest ini  mudah bila anda sudah mengetahui Polanya. untuk kasus POLA gambar diatas 1+1=2 gambar1 ditambah gambar2 sama dengan gabungan dari gambar 1 dan 2. Asal anda mengerti dengan benar pola yang telah saya sebutkan, mungkin pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang lainnya juga akan dengan mudah anda jawab (kasusnya tidak akan terlaulu jauh dari basic gambar diatas) use your imagination konsentrasi dan teliti sebelum membeli. yang penting anda paham mengenai Pola basic-nya.

3. Analogy Verbal Test
Kalau anda pintar dengan berbahasa Indonesia, mungkin persoalan analogy verbal test bukan merupakan masalah besar, Belajar Sinonim juga antonim suatu kata.

Contoh Antonim (lawan kata)
STABIL >< (sisi disini)  a. Labil   b. Hancur   c. Rusak   d. Kacau

Contoh Psikotes Untuk Korelaksi makna
Perusahaan - Karyawan = Sekolah - (isi Disini)   a. Pengawas   b. Pelajar   c. Ujian   d. Kelas

Pasti sudah mengerti ya (easy kan :)
ini untuk mengetes anda dalam kemampuan memahami permasalahan.

4.Test Kraeplin atau juga Pauli
Gamabar di pinggir merupakan Test Kraeplin Pauli, kalau anda pintar di tambah-tambahan ini test ini mudah, namun anda tetap harus teliti dan cepat, test ini untuk memonitor/mengukur kestabilan kita dalam bekerja. akan ada HRD yang "me-marathonkan" kita dalam pengisian soal tersebut, ingat yang penting konstan/Stabil jangan terlalu tinggi dan jangan terlalu rendah setiap beberapa detik kita akan disuruh Pindah ke baris selanjutnya dan selanjutnya, terus menerus sampai lembar Kraeplin tersebut beres. tenang aja, dalam test in ini HRD akan memberikan contoh dan melakukan latihan dahulu sebelum memulai mengisi jawaban. Test ini bukan masalah besar, hanya mesngisi angka belakangnya saja contoh jawabannya 10, nah yang di isi hanya 0 saja, lihat saja contoh dipinggir, mudah kan?

5. Wartegg Test ( ada sambal apa aja tuh?)
Tes ini terdiri atas 8 kotak yang berisi bentukan-bentukan tertentu seperti titik, garis kurva, 3 garis sejajar, kotak, dua garis saling memotong, dua garis terpisah, tujuh buah titik tersusun melengkung dan garis melengkung. Anda akan diminta menggambar kemudian menuliskan urutan gambar yang telah anda buat, lalu menuliskan nomor gambar mana paling disukai, tidak disukai, sulit dan mudah menurut anda. Yang diukur dalam tes ini adalah emosi, imajinasi, intelektual dan aktifitas subjek.
Mau memanipulasi Soal ini? jangan! setiap pribadi kita berbeda-beda, tapi untuk sedikit referensi (ni ga pernah gagal lho lol) inget apapun gambarnya yang penting "Arti dari gambar tersebut"
ini dulu yang saya pakai untuk Psikotes tersebut (base on my immagination (tukang ngarang) hahaha)

1. jam Dinding
2. Pohon Beringin (Golkar Haha) pohon beringin artinya "dalem"
3.Kota di pagi hari yang cerah nya matahari
4. (sebenernya ga nyambung) jendela lengkap( kotak hitamnya jadi 4 tambahin pintu) dengan pintu
Ada yang ga tahu artinya kata-kata ini "Feel like home, Im Coming back home,Home sweet home"
5. Penunjuk arah (panah Miring ke kanan) Improvisasi saja, Up Up Up..
6. Transfortasi (mobil :)) Hasil dari kesuksesan
7.Kupu-Kupu Butterfly Metamorposis

The best career choice is made according to the personality type and a detailed report is declared in front of the candidate.

There are a variety of tests measure your intelligence and skills and assess your ability to succeed in a career. Some are more complex as compared to others. The tests range from a five-minute color test to an hour-long complete personality test.

How to Changes Behaviors - Psychologist Tips

Changes behaviors is not easy. Requires a strong commitment of time and effort. One of the main steps to changing a behavior is to set goals. This includes monitoring progress in achieving those goals and making adjustments as needed.

So how to changes Behaviors? Psychologists have developed several ways to help people change their behavior in order to improve their quality of life.
  • Stage of Change
In the early stages, there is often an unwillingness or resistance to change. But as time passes, people develop a commitment to the new behavior. This method is effective in weight loss, to quit smoking and to improve study habits.

Very important elements in stages of change are:

Readiness to change
Readiness to change simply means that the person must be willing to use the knowledge and resources necessary to make a lasting change.

Barriers to change
A person should identify the barriers to change and take steps to avoid them.

Expecting relapses
Occasional relapses are expected, but only recognized as minor setbacks.

Lasting success depends on reaffirming goals and persistence.
  • Operant Conditioning (Instrumental Conditioning)
Was introduced by a behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, while studying the association between a behavior and its consequences. This method of behavioral change uses the elements of reward and punishment as a motivator to change. The promise of a reward generates a positive reinforcement for a particular behavior. On the contrary, the promise of punishment generates a negative reinforcement.

An example for employees. Hard working employees are rewarded for their good work ethic with pay raises or promotions, hard work is reinforced and encouraged. On the other hand, slothful employees are punished by reprimand, pay cuts or demotions, laziness is decreased and discouraged.

This method of behavioral change is also very effective in child discipline. Good behavior is rewarded with praise; bad behavior is decreased by scolding.
  • Classical Conditioning
This method uses the associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus to change behaviors. Classical conditioning is useful in the treatment of phobias or anxiety problems. By pairing an anxiety provoking situation with pleasant surroundings, this helps people change their behavior through new associations. Feelings of fear and anxiety are replaced with relaxation.

To treat a person who has a fear of speaking in front of others, a technique called "systematic desensitization," is very effective. The person is given various opportunities to speak in front of a group, either in role playing or reality situations, with the addition of calming techniques.

Eventually, the person learns to relax in front of a group. Fear is replaced by relaxation so that the fear of public speaking is eliminated all together.

The most effective treatments involve listening, 
understanding and slow progression to ensure lasting results.

Pre-Employment Test: Basic Test for Pre-Employment

Employment Test Quotes from Wikipedia
"Employment testing is the practice of administering written, oral or other tests as a means of determining the suitability or desirability of a job applicant. The premise is that if scores on a test correlate with job performance, then it is economically useful for the employer to select employees based on scores from that test."

In the USA more than 30% of companies reportedly use pre-employment tests to help make hiring decisions. Used in conjunction with the interview process employment testing enables the employer to pin-point any areas of concern with regard to the applicant's ability and suitability for the position. A valid and reliable pre employment evaluation is objective and a good tool for ensuring that the final employment selection is based on the applicant's ability to successfully perform in the job and not on any prejudice, bias or assumption. 

There are many different types of pre employment tests but the basic used tests fall into these five categories:
Personality tests measure the personality characteristics of job applicants that a re related to successful job performance. Typically they measure personality dimensions:
  1. Extroversion.
  2. Emotional stability.
  3. Agreeableness.
  4. Conscientiousness.
  5. Openness to experience.
The test format can vary from a brief written test to a long psychological examination. Personality tests have no "right" answers and cannot be prepared for. Applicants should answer honestly and  not attempt to manipulate their answers to fit what they think the employer wants for two reasons. Firstly the tests contain validity scales that are designed to detect inconsistent and fake answers. This will be viewed as dishonest by prospective employers.

Secondly applicants are misleading both themselves and the employer about their suitability for the job and are unlikely to be either happy or successful in the position. 
  • Skills Tests
Applicants are required to demonstrate the skills needed for the job and confirm the job-related skills they say they have. Skills tests can range from a simple typing test, writing a report, lifting a heavy object to a complicated mechanical design. Some skills tests can be prepared for. Know which skills you will require on the job and practice these.

Practice tests for typing and computer skills are available online. Skills tests are considered acceptable if they genuinely test a skill needed for the job.
  •  Aptitude Tests
These employment tests explore an applicant's abilities such as reasoning, numerical, wiring or verbal skills. They differ from skills tests in that they are used to determine an applicant's ability to learn and be trained in the required skills for the job while a skills test assesses existing skill levels.

Aptitude tests will tell an employer how quickly an applicant may be expected to learn to do the job tasks to a satisfactory level. There are general aptitude test referred to as IQ or intelligence tests and also tests for specific aptitudes such as mechanical aptitude.
  • Integrity Tests
An integrity test explores an applicant's honesty and trustworthiness. Questions are designed to evaluate the applicant's attitude to drug and alcohol abuse, abuse of company resources such as phones, internet, email  and vehicles, the confidentiality of company information and data, the stealing of company property such as stationery, telling "white lies",  and the approach to work ethic criteria such as time keeping and taking breaks.
  • Drug Tests
An employer can have a program for testing job applicants for drug usage as long as it is administered fairly and consistently and is in line with federal and state laws. The laws concerning employment drug screening vary from state to state and some states require that employers may only test applicants once they have been formally offered a position conditional on a negative drug test.

The most common drug tests involve applicants going to a collection site where a urine sample is obtained and then sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. The standard drug test is called a "Five-Screen" and tests for 5 types of street drugs marijuana, cocaine, PCP (Phencylidine), opiates such as heroin and morphine, and amphetamines.

Urine drug testing is popular with employers because it is reliable, inexpensive and non- intrusive. Test results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours. Other testing methods such as hair testing, blood tests, breath tests and saliva testing are also used.

Job applicants are likely to be required to undergo some form of pre employment testing.  Although the amount of preparation that can be done for these tests is limited it will benefit applicants greatly to understand the type of tests they can expect. Prepare now before its to late

Personality Test

A personality test aims to describe aspects of a person's character that remain stable throughout that person's lifetime, the individual's character pattern of behavior, thoughts, and feelings. An early model of personality was posited by Greek philosopher or physician Hippocrates.

The 20th century heralded a new interest in defining and identifying separate personality types, in close correlation with the emergence of the field of psychology. As such, several distinct tests emerged; some attempt to identify specific characteristics, while others attempt to identify personality as a whole.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_test

Emotional Response (get Control)

The emotions that we have can generally be categories as either being positive or negative. However, this may then encourage us to judge our feelings as either good or bed, which is not particularly encouraging or helpful for anyone involved.

The way we feel is the way we feel - whether it be an emotion that makes us feel happy, sad or anything else does not matter. They are all valid and we need to listen to our emotions with equal importance. Only then by doing that will we see our "negative" emotions transform into "positive" ones.

Simply by acknowledging the way you feel you may automatically feel a lift, whether that be that you go from happy to happier or that you go from feeling rather frustrated to a little less frustrated.

And take a moment to center yourself and take in everything that surrounds you. Empty your mind and observe everything that is there. What textures can you feel? What colors can you see? What shapes are in the room? This activity will allow you to notice whatever you see in that specific moment.

Then take a moment, to take a deep breath in and breathe out focusing on an object in the room. Then move to another object and repeat. Do this 5 times.

Smile. This may feel unnatural but it is hard to think of something negative when you have a smile on your face and emotional Response.

Bounce up and down on your heels, shrug your shoulders and shake your wrists and hands and then ask yourself again "How do I feel today". You may notice you mood has differed.

Tips Being A Good Supervisor (leadership)

Short Supervisor Responsibility

A supervisor in the workplace has four distinctly separate sets of responsibilities. The supervisor's first duty is to represent management and the company. It is the supervisor’s job to organize his/her department and employees, visualize future impacts and needs, energize the employees to get their tasks done and supervise their work ensuring that the productivity and quality standards are met. To ensure that this is done, the supervisor makes certain that his employees have the training, the tools and the material that they need to carry out their duties.

Another important part of the job is to act as a middleman and buffer between the employees who actually do the job and the rest of the organization who don't actually do anything. The supervisor makes sure that their employees’ pay is correct, their vacation pay arrives on time and they receive proper care if they get injured on the job.

The supervisor also has legal responsibilities to ensure that his area of responsibility is free of safety violations, all employees received proper training and that all human rights are upheld. Supervisors are also responsible for the health and safety of all their subordinates and to ensure that they work in a harassment-free environment

1. Know yourself first
know yourself deeply and aware Strong point also weak point of you, so you will know where you're secures and where you will needs help,

2. Know your People
Supervisor must know who people around him, everyone like to be called by his or her name, Know who are the key people for getting group support.This also becomes a bit to add to the intimacy between supervisors and their environment

3. Know When to make Decision yourself and when to ask help from team

Personality Theories (Trait)

In theories of personality, personality trait consists among others and type. Trait itself explained as a theoretical construct that describes the unit basic of personality. Trait described the consistency of the response from individuals in different situations. While type is a grouping of the various trait. Compared with the concept of trait, type has a level of regularity and greater generality than the trait.

Trait is a disposition to behave in certain ways, as reflected in the behavior of people in various situations. Trait theory is a  Personality theory that is based on several assumptions, so:
  • Trait is a consistent pattern of thoughts, feelings, or actions that distinguish one person from another, so that:
  • Relatively stable trait over time
  • Trait consistent from situation to situation
Trait is the basic tendency that persist for life, but the characteristic behavior can be changed because:

  • There is an adaptive process
  • The different strengths
  • The combination of an existing trait
Basic personality trait levels change from late adolescence to adulthood. McCrae and Costa believe that during the period from age 18 to 30 years, people are in the process of adopting a stable trait configuration, a configuration that remained stable after the age of 30 years (Feist, 2006).

Trait theory first raised by Gordon W. Allport. Allport addition, there are two other experts who developed this theory. They are Raymond B. Cattell and Hans J. Eysenck.

According to Allport, genetic and environmental factors are equally influential in determining human behavior. Not only his own heredity or environmental factors alone that determines how personality is formed, but through the reciprocal influence of genetic and environmental factors that gave rise to personality characteristics.
Regarding a genetic role in the formation of personality, there are 4 important insights to note:

  • Although genetic factors play an important role towards the development of personality, non-genetic factors still have a role for variation personality

  • Although genetic factors are important in influencing the environment, non-genetic factor is the factor most responsible environment will be a difference in people

  • Experiences in the family is an important although the family environment is different for every child in relation to the type of child gender, birth order, or a unique event in the lives of families in each child.

  • Although there is a strong genetic contribution to personality trait, does not mean that the trait is fixed or can not be influenced by the environment.

Motivation Achievement Personality Factor

Researchers often use the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) to measure people’s need for achievement. The TAT consists of a set of ambiguous pictures, such as one of a woman standing in the doorway of a room. Researchers ask subjects to make up stories about these pictures. Some subjects’ stories consistently contain themes that relate to achievement. Researchers consider these subjects to have a high need for achievement.

Personality Factors
High-achievement motivation tends to lead to particular personality features. These include persistence, ability to delay gratification, and competitiveness:

  • Persistence: High achievers tend to be very persistent and work hard to attain goals they set for themselves.
  • Ability to delay gratification: High achievers tend to have a greater ability to delay gratifying their impulses in the short term in order to reach long-term goals.
  • Competitiveness: High achievers tend to select careers that give them opportunities to compete with other people.
