Communication can affect many aspects of a conversation. As a team member, you have to be able to communicate effectively with others in order to work on a team. Yelling and being belligerent, can cause major conflicts if you use them within a group professional setting. I can apply my strengths to effective interpersonal communication, by using my strength as a Woo to wow others. I am a good communicator and I can utilize that skill to help others who may not be as effective, get their point across. There are several advantages and disadvantages to working on a team. I like working with people whom I get along with, but that is not always the case. Working with difficult to please or overachievers can be exhausting and I tend to get
The people I like to work with, are the type of people that can speak out their mind and does not hesitate to state their thoughts. I also love working with people who seeks to be better everyday. Contrary to those people whom wasting their time talking about somebody else's life. I despise narrow minded people and their reluctance to
As we learned in class, there is no single effective way to communicate; however, there are different strengths that someone can naturally have or acquire through practice (Adler, Rosenfield, & Proctor, 2015) . A strength that I believe I possess is being able to communicate well with different people in various situations. Sarah Beth is a girl in my church who is my age, and she has Down syndrome. Sarah Beth is highly functional, and she has contagious energy. Because Sarah Beth has Down syndrome, one has to speak a little more descriptively and a little less complicated to communicate well with her. Whenever I see Sarah Beth, she raises her hand to give me a high-five and she asks me about my boyfriend. Although I love seeing Sarah Beth
My strength is personal preparation skills; these are skills I erudite during my master's degree program. They are time management and online learning experience. Time management is a skill that has helped me set and accomplish different goals in life. Online learning is a skill I attended. I love my private space and time alone to think and reflect. As a result of my master's program, I am more experienced in using the online library resource to find journal articles.
In my line of work, communication is important. As a healthcare professional whatever information I choose to communicate must be clear and precise since a miscommunication could potentially harm a patient. This event occurred just a few days ago at work; I had a patient on a mechanical ventilator with an extensive medical history that included end-stage renal disease (ESRD). He was in the ICU on CRRT, which is a bedside dialysis. I immediately noticed that he was breathing very fast which caused a drastic drop in his CO2 levels. I expressed my concerns to the patient’s nurse as well as my supervisor on that night. We tried brainstorming, and my supervisor finally said “just drop it to 8.” Since the patient was breathing fast, and the way to
My wife and I have differing opinions regarding the importance of housework. For me, a clean home constitutes feelings of peace, happiness, and a clear mind. My wife on the other hand, feels that organization and cleanliness of the home are not essential to happiness within the home, but that the moments shared within the home create happiness. These personal schemas are important to consider in the upcoming interaction, as our dog has just given birth to a litter of puppies. This afternoon I was feeling overwhelmed. My wife spent the better part of the day sleeping, after a long shift. This left me with dishes, laundry, housework, and puppies to attend to. I felt like I was bearing more of the load in our relationship
It is significant to state that there are similarities and differences between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model. First and foremost, from what I can assimilate, the similarities between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model are seen in intimacy and commitment. As scholars have concluded, intimacy includes trust, honesty, supportiveness, and being open. As far as commitment goes, we can see that there is loyalty, devotion, putting others before oneself, and the fact that we need each other. From a biblical standpoint, Jesus Christ wants nothing more than to offer all these things to us, but at times we are not willing to accept these gifts. The answer to perhaps fulfilling love,
In June 2012, standing at Parade Rest in front of my supervisor, I had to explain myself for making another soldier feel belittled. Staff Sergeant Waschler, the Treatment Noncommissioned Officer, criticized my interpersonal skills due to the teaching method I used to explain patient assessments and documentation to a fellow soldier. Besides remorse, a plethora of emotions beleaguered my mind including fear, surprise, and guilt during this encounter. Perplexed by all of this, I felt absolute regret since I had no intention of making the soldier feel disparaged. Staff Sergeant Waschler dismissed the soldier and explained to me that my teaching methods may not work effectively on every person and therefore a teacher must adjust their interpersonal
Interpersonal communication is extremely important in the world. Being unable to effectively communicate limits your ability to succeed. Our group, although we all posses very different and strong personalities, worked very well together and were able to decide which items were essential to island survival. There were a few roles played in the group and some were even shared. Hopefully I can carry these reminders as I move into the workforce. Through these group activities, I learned how I work with others and the roles that emerge from a group.
A simple interaction between two people seems very basic, yet there are many things going on during the interaction within each of the participants. When I greet my daughter after she comes home from school with a simple ”how was school?” and “do you have any homework?” it seems very straightforward. On one level I am concerned whether or not she has had a good day, and what schoolwork does she still need to do, she could simply react with good, and yes or no. There is also something deeper, because she is family I want to help if her day was not good or celebrate if it was good, and also work with her to get through any homework. She may or may not realize these things, but her responses would bring a reaction that she would play
To me, empathy means seeing someone’s problem from their point of view to help give yourself a better understanding of their situation so you may help that person. Sometimes we do not understand someone’s problems until we put ourselves in their shoes and communicate with them. Communication involves how we interact with others. Correct communication involves both speaking and listening. We also must change our communicating style based on the party being communicated with. For example, you would use different vocabulary with a child than you might a fellow adult. Self-awareness is being conscious of your behavior and emotions and how they affect others. It is important to be self-aware so that you understand what is going on inside your own head and can control it. It is also important to be aware of how our behavior affects those around us.
During week one I flipped through material from week two and three, specifically chapter 6: Interpersonal Communication and Conversations. I discovered the section on feedfoward messages and phatic communication caught my attention. It stated that “small talk” opens the way for “big talk.” I also realized that chapters 3 and 5 Listening in Human Communication and Nonverbal messages coincided with small talk. I was never really into small talk or trying to hold a conversation, because I didn’t know how and was afraid because I didn’t know what to say. I continued reading chapter 6 and ran across a section called “How Do You Small Talk” and tested myself. Of course my scores were bad so I made this my challenge.
I mostly worked 4-5 days a week at the airport during my summer, winter, and spring breaks. My shift was about 9 hours long because of the variations of departing time each day. During school, I was an on-call employee and needed fill in when another employee could not come to work. The fun thing about working as a cashier in a gift shop in General Ford Airport was that most of the people I talked to were travelers, and some carried interesting stories and jokes with them from other parts of the world. Because I talked to a spectrum of people from different social background, race, ethics, and age, I was able to enhance my interpersonal skills with different people.
Think of the last time you were confident about yourself? There is a confidence crisis these days especially in the workplace, and you know what, it also affects the rest of our lives in a very negative way.

Effective leadership is directly related with the ability of the leaders to lead the organizational and interpersonal communication, working on its development. The leader designs not only his interaction with other employees, but also with people, who interact within the company. He needs to live and work in conditions of the phenomenon of group dynamics.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship of leadership and communication and to suggest an effective leadership strategy to Williams` company.
