...business. Without clear communication the managers at The Ranch would be unsure of expectations. Communication is not a one-time thing; it must be continual in order to be effective. Communication involves a give and take. To communicate you cannot just talk; there has to be giving and receiving, or feedback. According to Lussier and Achua, feedback is “the process of verifying messages and determining if objectives are being met” (Lussier & Achua, p. 197). As it says in the case study, “Nothing takes the place of sitting down face-to-face during regular weekly meetings and listening to each other to continually improve operations” (Lussier & Achua, p. 197). As manager of The Ranch, Peter Clark must be prepared to receive feedback, which is critical for success. Management at The Ranch uses feedback to ensure “the players are getting service and learn how to improve service” (Lussier & Achua, p. 201). They are open to criticism and input because they are dedicated to improving performance and strive to better their members’ experiences. Another way The Ranch uses feedback is in regular meetings with employees. “The Clarks and managers set clear objectives… They get and give feedback on how The Ranch is progressing toward meeting...

These steady adjustments need to be made continuously to maintain at normal range because the internal and external environments are constantly changing (Open Curriculum). Homeostasis can be broken up into two different categories: particularized and generalized which both contribute to the proper functioning of the processes and subsystems of an organism. Particularized homeostasis corresponds to the end product of the proper functioning that is internal to the organism with a coordination of components. On the other hand, generalized homeostasis contains the result of the proper functioning from the overall maintenance that gives environment pressures that...

Having the ability to think critically and solve problems logically are indispensable team skills. The success of any team is dependent upon the member’s abilities to voice their ideas clearly and concisely and to listen objectively. Conflict can be constructive if it forces important issues into the open, this increases the involvement of team members, and generates creative ideas for solving a problem. Conflict in a team setting isn’t necessarily bad, as long as team members can stay focused on the goal. To collaborate effectively, everyone involved needs to be flexible and open to other opinions, focusing on the team objectives rather than individual priorities. Working...

...Improving Student Feedback Introduction Student feedback to assignments at Ashford University has been lacking over the past several years. One of the main issues with feedback is that a second assignment is usually due before the first assignment is even graded. The lack of feedback causes the student to be unable to correct issues with their written documents in a timely manner thus causing the issue to be repeated in the next assignment. Another big problem is the lack of detailed feedback. A normal feedback consists of something along the line of “incorrect APA formatting” or “lack of detail”. This sort of feedback does not help the student improve their work, it only causes frustration. To improve student understanding and work quality, Ashford University should improve the teacher feedback immediately. This proposal views the feedback problem from the viewpoint of a student. This proposal then offers a solution to improve the feedback problem between students and teachers. The source of information for this proposal is a student at Ashford University for the past three years. The lack of teacher feedback prevents students from reaching their full potential in classes at Ashford University. By improving teacher feedback we will allow students to improve throughout a class instead of being stagnant at whatever level of work the complete with their first assignment. This proposed plan addresses a way for teachers and students to have a more open dialogue and more...

...direction in team communication, whether verbal or non-verbal gives the team vision and purpose and creates a sense of identity and motivation to accomplish a common goal. When a team can communicate effectively, it lessens misinterpretations. Speaking up and asking questions helps if at any time something is not understood. If there are misunderstandings, clear them up in a calm manner. Effective team communication is a combination of good manners, good attention, and open mindedness. Active team communication can withstand changes. Some downsides to team communication are that it is not personal. Every individual has various needs that should be addressed, which are impossible because the team needs to be addressed and not an individual’s needs. Because of various perceptions and understanding of each individual, team communication can be confusing at times. Communication needs to be clear and concise. This helps to avoid each member from hearing something different from the next member. Asking for feedback after communicating helps to make sure every member...

...Week 5 assignments BUSN 258 Customer Relations 1. How can organizations become more open to feedback? What kinds of employee training would help? What would you tell your employees about feedback importance if you were the boss? People will tell more of their friends and family about a bad experience than a good one. An organization must understand that its success is dependent upon how they are viewed by the customers and clients. Reviewing the suggestions box is an easy way to make them improve their performance in terms of quality, prices and most of all customer service relationships. Feedback can come either from internal or external sources. Internal are the employees and external are consumers. Organizations must treat the employee feedback as importantly as the customers by implementing open forums where the employees are able to speak their minds and help. Meetings where employees can air their positions and grievances without fear of retaliation are of help.

...Total 29 employees Discussion Creating a space where there is open communications between employees and management is vital to the company’s organizational effectiveness. It is important for employees to feel as though they are being properly informed about the organization and are given feedback based on their performance. Employees should feel free to express their concerns as well as provide new ideas and feedback to the organization without any repercussion and/or judgment. As expressed by Oren Harari, business professor at the University of San Francisco, “effective managers tend to communicate openly with employees and are rewarded by a committed and productive staff. ” In his 1995 article “Open the doors, tell the truth” Harari demonstrates how open communication, or lack there of, can heavily impact an organization and its employees’ performance. Harari suggests that exploiting and sharing knowledge of information can only be vital for a company and its employees. A “behind closed door” policy, as referred to by Harari, is often managers’ most self-defeating action within the workplace. Not only does it create paranoia among employees, but also yields misleading or uncertain information and the decisions that are based upon it (Harari, 1995.) In a 2015 survey conducted by 15Five, provider of the leading web-based team feedback and alignment platform, only 15% of employees are completely satisfied with the quality of communication in the workplace. After surveying...

...The aim of this assignment is to consider Coulshed and Mullender’s statement (2001) that “the ultimate test of quality will always be what users and their families think of the services we provide” and then critically discuss the issues involved in seeking feedback on quality. Within this assignment I will draw upon course materials as part of my discussion. I will also draw upon some wider materials to broaden the discussion. In order to conduct the discussion I will first look at what service-user consultation is and how it is undertaken; and then I will look at both the positives and negatives in seeking feedback on the quality of a service. Introduction: Quality matters. Increasingly the idea of quality has impacted on health and social care services. The ever increasing number of quality initiatives being developed by the Government is just one example of how it is having an impact. Another way is the drive towards and focus on gaining service users views of services. And the reason behind it all is simple, the quality of a service impacts on the quality of life for its users and their carers. Service User Consultation: In the opinion of Martin and Henderson (2001) you can’t provide a quality service without knowing what kind of people use your service and what they need from your service. Writers such as Peters believe that the best way to find out these things is to work closely with service users and communicate with them. One way to do this would be to undertake...
