I see the fact that Interpersonal Effectiveness has been categorized in four different categories; (1) competence, (2) emotional intelligence, (3) mindfulness and (4) ethical behaviors. Johnson stated that interpersonal effectiveness indicates the ability to understand yourself and others and to use that understanding to communicate in a manner that is both socially and personally successful (Johnson, 1972). Facts are give that interpersonal effectiveness gained from devoting and dedicating yourself in practicing these skills everyday or at least several hours on each skill.

I see the issue with building up your own interpersonal effectiveness is all up on your own head. It is all about devoting, dedicating, practicing, and motivating you to develop each skill. Like one said, practice makes perfect. In order for one to get perfection, they have to spend at least two hours per day in practicing each skill. It might be hard to commit with practicing but I believe that nothing comes in easy. Competence, emotional intelligence mindfulness and emotional behavior are sets of skills that can be broken down to thousand and thousand of skills.

I find the missing information that each skill can be helpful not only with pursuing a goal but also with life.
I see the ethical issue here as something that can be solved if you are committed, dedicated, motivated to your goal. On the other hand, it can be an ethical issue if you don't manage your time to be more interpersonal effectiveness with your goal.

I see certain analogies competence is defined as keeping everything professional, effective and appropriate in pursuing your goal. This skill is very important to every person that is trying to achieve his/her goal. With competence you can manage anything or everything coming your way while focusing on your goal. Sometimes it is hard to be this way but if one self is committed to his/her goal then everything is possible. Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify and manage the emotions of others' as well as one's own emotions. This skill can be used at all time because it can define how solid you are to the goal you are aiming for. Mindfulness can be defined as the ability to focus while aiming for one goal. I believe that this one of the most important component because if you don't be mindful about your goal then you are going to have a hard time concentration on your goal. Ethical behavior is stated in the reading material as the different component because it is essential. Somehow it can still be used as one of the components that can lead to be interpersonal effectiveness.

Based on my experience as a teacher, it is very important to have competence, have emotional intelligence, be mindfulness and have ethical behaviors. I believe that these four components can be used if you are aiming for goal, working at a certain profession, living life, etc. I believe that if one person can use all these four components in achieving his/her goal then I can guarantee it will happen soon.

Why did you repeat this term throughout the essay?


What is the thesis statement. You started the introduction with the different types of interpersonal effectiveness, then you gave a definition and finally you talked about the things that affect it. Connect these issues to each other and clearly mention what is the main idea of the essay. What issues are going to be discussed in the body?.

I think it would be better to open the introduction with the definition of interpersonal effectiveness because it gives some general information about what your are going to say through next sentences.
