Review a book related to the course materials we have discussed in class of Interpersonal Process. This is an opportunity for you to go in more depth according to your interests. The intent is to explore a topic of your own choosing, develop your critical skills and to continue the journey of life-long learning.

Your essay should review and analyze a number of the author’s key ideas and then relate them to your own experiences and opinions.

Choose your book purposefully and carefully.

It will be important to answer the following questions:

1.     Discuss 3 key concepts from the book that you agree/ disagree with, and why are they relevant to you?

2.     How did the concepts in the book enable you to better understand your own behaviours/motivations/ purpose?

3.     What adjustments will you make in your working life as a result of the insights you have gained?

There is a tremendous amount of literary material available in the fields of; management, leadership, teams, and personal development- all of which relate to the various topics we have discussed in class. You are expected to seek out and examine a book of your own choosing.

My Personal Experiences:

I am a guy from Delhi, IndiaI have a robust background in fraud analysis, business intelligence, and project management, demonstrating a powerful blend of technical proficiency and leadership capabilities. In my experience as a Fraud Analyst, I've established a strong track record in implementing Agile and Waterfall methodologies to boost operational efficiency and ensure project alignment within budgetary and organizational objectives. Among my notable achievements, I've realized a 30% increase in operational effectiveness through adept utilization of data visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI, and I've successfully reduced inter-departmental dependencies by 40%, significantly improving vendor compliance and the efficiency of fraud investigations.

In my educational journey, I have done Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and currently doing my MBA in Strategy ans Supply Chain. My skill set is diverse and includes proficiency in various software and methodologies, with a particular emphasis on data analysis, visualization, and management.

My professional experience includes a significant tenure at Amazon, where I spearheaded initiatives to enhance the fraud investigation process, and as a Project Engineer, where I led projects aimed at improving civil infrastructure. My expertise spans across critical areas such as fraud analysis, project management, data visualization, and stakeholder management. This is underpinned by a solid foundation in technical tools and software development methodologies, which have been instrumental in my career achievements.
