...Discussion Question Week 2 There are many ways we use our communication skills to advance in a career. Advancing in my nursing career, I have used a few of the skills. These abilities allowed me to promote in the management and education positions in the hospital setting. In written communication, applying for the position was my initial step. Another way in written communication is the test that I had to pass to secure the job. Smiling, head nodding and shaking the interviewers hand was a simple way I communicated nonverbally. Positive energy is inspiring, generative and contagious (Koloroutis 2004). When meeting someone for the first time, I feel first impressions are vital. Body language will tell a lot during the interview process. Maintaining a good solid eye contact demonstrated I was paying attention. It was also a sign that I was interested in what they had to say. Good posture means sitting tall, shoulders back and not slumped. Slouching in a chair with legs and arms crossed I feel is unprofessional. Proper positioning is a difficult task to maintain for me. Sitting correctly displayed a confidence and self-assurance I had. Lastly, I feel oral communication is the most important. Speaking slow, clear and confident demonstrated a level of professionalism needed for the positions. I have always been conscious of my speech and tone during the interview process. I always remembered that having an upbeat, warm and positive tone allowed me to accept the position...

...| Poverty Then and Now | SOC-100 | | 5/11/2014 | | Poverty, While it still exists, how far have we come in ten years and what can we do to help. Poverty In this paper I will be discussing how far we have come from poverty in ten years. I will touch base on three main reasons why poverty still exists within the United States today. First reason unemployment, second reason is education, third is Health care. I will also discuss what Obama Care is and how it can change people’s lives in the future. Unemployment is one of the main reasons why poverty exists in the United States. If there are no jobs then how can people live? In 2004 the unemployment rates were down by the end of the year to 5.4 percent. The reason for this was because the economy created more than 144,000 jobs for Americans. Within the next couple of years the unemployment rate had a boost and went up in 2009 to a record of 10.0 percent. Now if we bring ourselves to the percentage of today’s unemployment rate we are back down as of April of this year to 6.3 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics). The reason the unemployment rate went back down is because jobs refuse to hire any new employees until they know for sure the economy will remain stable. I understand that, but with no jobs for people how can people survive? One thing that plays a big roll with jobs these days is education; so many jobs want you to have a degree in order to work. Education plays a big roll...

...Individual Reflection Paper I found three meaningful concepts in The Maxwell Leadership Bible. The concept of the Word of God and Jesus as the Word closely relates to communication. The major goal of communication is to transfer information from one individual to another. God was trying to communicate his word to humankind, by his words and then through Jesus. Jesus as the word refers to the Word of God in a physical form. Jesus was sent by God to be a physical evidence of God’s word. He was made human and without sin to show mankind he could have everlasting life if man accepted God’s word. The second concept was the power of words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit, Proverbs 18:21. This scripture speaks about the power of words. When Jesus spoke, his words were positive, gave life, and were only meant for good. Words are very powerful and you must always think carefully before you speak. In an organizational setting communication is very important. What you say and how you say it can mean the difference between success and failure. Leaders must know what words to use that will encourage their followers, not discourage them. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path, Proverbs 3:5-6. The third concept is prayer. Our own understanding is limited and we tend to make mistakes. We must always pray and seek...

...simulation effectively replicated a dynamic and teamwork based organisational environment. The simulation seeks to test interpersonal relationships and group dynamics by creating dissonance on both an individual and group level, as groups and group members strive to achieve both individual and group goals. This report will critically analyse the very processes used to undertake the Everest Simulation, along with results, focusing on the three concepts of ‘Communication’, ‘Groups and Teams’ and ‘Leadership’. These are of critical importance to forming an analysis of not only the simulation itself, but also a broader organisational and managerial situation and the correlation between managerial theory and practice and the Everest Simulation. The transition in dynamics within the group between the different simulations, and the solving of numerous challenges corresponds to the improvement in our results of the simulation. Moreover, this transition and triumph also elucidates the practicality of managerial theories associated with ‘communication’, ‘groups and teams’ and ‘leadership’ and their applicability to not only the Everest Simulation, my personal and group results, but also the wider contemporary managerial and organisational setting. Group Development and Performance In order for the simulation and team to successfully perform in the simulation, there...

...Communication: A Verbal Path to Effective Leadership A large part of being an effective leader is communication. Whether in a public speaking environment, a one-on-one conversation with a team member or while delegating workloads, it is critical that all aspects of a leader’s communication be on point. There are several communication strategies that a leader should employ that will help him/her be a strong, respected leader and in turn appreciated - maybe even loved by his/her team. This type of leadership will lead to a cooperative, collaborative and most importantly, a successful work environment. When communication from a leader is broken, much like the game “telephone”, the entire team’s communication becomes broken. Signals are crossed and the wrong messages are sent. The eventual effect on the team, and overall organization, can easily and quickly become negative and even unhappy. While many organizations have embraced the need for good communication strategies, and believe in the difference it makes, implementing those strategies can be a challenge. The following essay discusses two main issues about communication and leadership: Effective Leadership Communication Strategies in today’s workplace and the Barriers That Effective Leaders Must Avoid in order to lead effectively and build a productive work environment in spite of the many changes occurring in today’s world. Effective Leadership Communication Strategies There are some very key communication strategies that...

...assigned to this group and the project. Effective group communication is necessary for this project. You know who these people are, but you have not had much contact with them since they all work in different branches of the company, in different cities. Your supervisor has indicated: 1) you have the group communication role of initiator, 2) most of the work can be done by emailing each other in order to coordinate tasks and provide and seek information, and 3) the group can also use the company’s teleconference phone system for monthly updates when synchronous communication is needed. Using the first three steps of the communication decision-making tool, DECIDE, for the following work, write an email message to the group focusing on initiating group communication so that everyone effectively communicates with each other. (This email message should be at least 2-3 paragraphs.) Initiate group communication about topics including what the group might need to know about possible advantages and disadvantages of communicating by the channels of email and in a teleconference. Start discussions about possible interference and suggest how the group might reduce or eliminate these. Initiate group communication about group communication norms for dealing with group communication roles and for dealing with effective interpersonal communication while using these communication technologies. Focus specifically on initiating discussion about tact, courtesy, and language adaptation that...
