...Are You A Good Communicator? Communication is the process of sharing one’s information to another person or a group of people whether it is one’s thoughts or his or her feelings through spoken words, written words, or body language. Effective communication requires that the transmitted information is received and understood by the receiver in the way it was intended. Interpersonal relationships are important particularly in the health care industry for teamwork and forming positive working relationships between the health care team and their patients. Trust in health care is an important interpersonal skill and the cornerstone of effective doctor-patient relationships. “The need for interpersonal trust relates to the vulnerability associated with being ill. Without trust patients may well not access services at all, let alone disclose all medically relevant information” (Rowe & Calnan, 2006, p4). Trust is also an important interpersonal element in effective healthcare team development. A supportive climate encourages open, honest, and constructive interactions among informal conversations and formal conversations. While a defensive climate leads to competitive or even destructive conflict. According to Dr. Jack Gibb, who was a distinguished psychologist and a consultant for various organizations for five decades, there are six dimensions of behavior.

...focus for expanding voice functionality. Global Crossing plans to deploy Response Groups and the Office Communicator Attendant. With a Response Group, incoming calls are queued and routed to designated agents based on predefined routing rules, while Office Communicator Attendant is an intuitive, integrated attendant console that facilitates accurate and rapid call handling. “The addition of the attendant console is a critical piece in making Office Communications Server a true telephony replacement,” explains Schafer. Global Crossing is gradually decommissioning its current IP-PBX installations from a leading networking hardware provider, replacing them with Office Communications Server. Office Communications Server will also replace the current voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) handsets that Global Crossing had supplied to employees who work externally and do not have access to the corporate network. Global Crossing is now providing employees with LG Nortel 8540 handsets, which operate with Office Communicator. Shortly after the launch of Office Communications Server 2007 R2, all remote employees are expected to be switched over to the Office Communications Server–compatible handsets. For mobile users, Global Crossing will deploy Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile 3.0 to people with BlackBerry or Windows Mobile® phones that meet security standards. Office Communicator Mobile helps people communicate while out of the office. “If people need to reach me...

His goal was to build and run a company that was people oriented and allowed everyone involved to have a voice in the process. The importance of being a good listener can take you far. Andy Grove was the founder of a computer chip manufacturing company. His business philosophy was to either sink or swim and nothing in between. He felt that because he had the best product that there wasn’t a need to worry about the competition, look into bettering the product, or even thinking about the future of the market and appealing to the consumer’s wants. It took time, but he did grasp the concept wrong strategy and poor execution will lead to failure. One should look to the past to predict the future of the market and what appeals to the customers. Always be willing to make changes to your product and even the little man can have a good ideas. Ultimately, listening is the key concept for the two businessmen. The manufacturing of the Olympic without knowing if that’s what the customer really wanted, didn’t give the results they were expecting.

...Customer Acquisition for Facebook We all need to acquire new customers to make our products and businesses work. Whether there are a few users paying big bucks or thousands visiting your platform for free, how you get and retain customers is what is important. But ask yourself: are you really ready for more customers? Is your team set up to handle an influx of users? What’s your promotion strategy – inbound marketing or traditional PR? This extensive guide will walk you through what user acquisition is and how to execute a plan. Is Your Product Ready for User Acquisition? While Mark Zuckerberg’s famous “move fast and break things” motto might be useful advice in many startup situations, it may not be the best advice when it comes to customer acquisition. The decision to take your product to market and begin onboarding customers should be given the weight it deserves. You have spent months (if not years) developing your product, so the execution of your user acquisition strategy must be thought out very carefully. First of all, is your product even ready for some/many users? Are there still bugs that will render the customer experience completely flawed? While Zuck’ s “done is better than perfect” philosophy is wise, it would be a mistake to launch a broken product. Why Being Prepared Matters ? The customer acquisition process for startups is hardly linear or predictable, but that doesn’t mean that thoughtful planning is not useful or necessary. Even software giants...
