Join us on Tuesday May 27, for #DigiBlogChat topic: Doers, Observers, and Recipients! 

Everyone knows each of these types: the doers, the observers, and the recipients. And most of us are some combination of the three, with any one person rarely in one single camp or another. If you do know anyone who’s one single type, they may be the subject of a lot of gossip. For a discussion about this and perhaps other side topics, join us!

Exciting times are ahead of us, with more and more interesting topics! The year is zooming by. Tune into BlueSky on Tuesday, 27 May to hear about this topic!

Join us on BlueSky each Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time for #DigiBlogChat. My partner for these chats is @LazBlazter.  If you need to know how to participate, click here: How to Join #DigiBlogChat. P.S. Don’t forget to add the #digiblogchat hashtag!

NEW TIME: at 7pm UK time, 8pm western Europe, 3pm ET, 12:00 NOON pm PST.

Here are the Questions

Q1. Why are some people Doers and others Observers or even just recipients? What are the primary reasons for this difference in behaviour? #DigiBlogChat

Q2. How might the emotional and cognitive reactions of a direct Recipient of a good deed differ from those of a third-party Observer? #DigiBlogChat

Q3. How do potential consequences (faced by Doers) influence Observer’s decisions and actions? #DigiBlogChat

Q4. What kind of character makes the best employee, what’s your reasoning? #DigiBlogChat

Q5. What is your experience of being in a Club or Society, are you simply a member or do you perhaps actively support and deliver committee work too?  #DigiBlogChat

The Second Half

Q6. How can a Doer’s awareness of being watched by Observers (the Hawthorne effect) alter their performance, motivation, and the authenticity of their actions? #DigiBlogChat

Q7. Discuss the ethical responsibilities of an Observer. At what point, if any, does an Observer have a moral obligation to intervene and become a Doer, particularly in situations involving harm to a Recipient? #DigiBlogChat

Q8. In workplace dynamics, how can a manager effectively navigate the roles of Doer (implementing policy), Observer (monitoring team performance), and Recipient (receiving feedback from employees) to foster a positive environment? #DigiBlogChat

Q9.  Why are Recipients often ignorant of their lack of meaningful contribution to events in particular and does it actually matter? #DigiBlogChat

Q10. Has the rise of social media and live-streaming technology blurred the lines between Doers, Observers, and Recipients, and what are the societal implications of this shift? #DigiBlogChat
