When I reviewed the chapters I took a strong interest in chapter 5. In particular The Big 5 Personality Model. The reason I took such a strong interest is because I know that with my future aspirations I need to perfect my personality skills. Sales requires you to have a strong personality and the ability to be emotional intelligent. Being able to have an extroverted personality and openness to experience encompass the agreeableness, conscientiousness and are followed up my emotional stability. So here is a small diagram based on my opinion.
Extraversion----------------Openness to Experience
^ ^
Conscientiousness Agreeableness

Emotional Stability
Thats why I like this model because each one plays perfectly into the others and if you can practice valuable examples of these different traits then you can be a successful leader and have a good personality that exemplifies magnetism, drawing people to you.

Unit 3
In unit 3 I really enjoyed the first chapter 9 and the begin of the chapter actually kept me interested. Defining and classifying groups was extremely interesting. I for one have always had a hard time defining what a group is. I notice that I have a tendency to want to be known by the formal groups that I associate with. Groups founded by my work environment or school environment. Command groups are easy for me to recognize because I feel like there is usually a hierarchy to every situation, where as task groups have a tendency to be lead by the leader of the command group, odd how they correlated so well. In summary the reason people join groups has never been something that I have deeply though about. The social identity theory gives us a clear explanation to why we want to be part of groups. Based on the first few pages of this chapter I feel enlightened and have a better understanding of what it means for me to be a group member in more ways than one.
