  Draft #1 According to GovInsiders’ article on “How tech can ease the cleaning industry's manpower crunch”(2021), cleaning robots can work symbiotically with cleaners. These cleaning robots focus on “time-consuming, repetitive manual tasks” while the cleaners focus on other pressing matters that robots cannot do like “elevator buttons, bathrooms, and desks”. Whiz, an AI-powered commercial floorcare cleaning robot from SoftBank Robotics, automates vacuuming so workers can concentrate on things that benefit people. Organizations can send cleaners for training in light of the current pandemic so they will be well-prepared to fully utilize the most recent cleaning technologies. Additionally, not many studies were done on the consequences of using a disproportionate amount of cleaning chemicals that will be “concerning from health, cost, and environmental perspectives”.

  Dear Professor Brad, I am Xing He, a first year student in SIT mechanical engineering in your critical thinking and communication module. Prior to this, I studied mechatronics engineering at Nanyang Polytechnic and graduated in 2019. When I was younger, I enjoyed playing with toys like remote controlled cars. However, being a rough and reckless child, caused me to break most of my toys within the first few days. Instead of getting new toys, my parents tried to fix my broken toys and I was fascinated by how they did it with tools that can be found in everyday homes. They showed me different components of the toy cars like the motors and wheels while explaining the functions of each part. This piqued my interest in engineering and I started exploring more forms of innovations from technology like phones and laptops to automotive vehicles like cars and motorbikes.  Our strength grows out of our weakness - Ralph Waldo Emerson My strengths in communication lies in my ability to e...

Communication and critical thinking work together to provide clarity and prevents misunderstanding and miscommunication. Before a person communicates, critical thinking is used to generate their ideas and thoughts then organizes them systematically so that it will be comprehensive and easy to understand. This is a very important factor in the workplace as in the article, it shows that it can be very costly for the company when there are such mistakes. C ommunication and critical thinking will impact my future role as a leader in the workplace as I will be able to convey and deliver my point across to my colleagues with ease. Critical thinking and communication will help me put my thoughts, ideas and message in a way that can be understood easily. This allows work to be done faster and efficiently as there will be lesser breakdowns or loss of information when working together. It will also help me when they are motivated and understand their part of work to work toget...

 "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp According to Gilbert Amelio , a good leader must be able to deliver their thoughts to make others understand the ideas just as how the leader perceives. To convey a sense of urgency and importance to others, the leader must be able to impart knowledge and ideas. A leader's message is useless if they can't effectively communicate it and inspire others to take action.
