...Strategies for Communication and Collaborating Effectively Gen 200 Strategies for Communication and Collaborating Effectively To communicate and collaborate effectively within a group of individuals with different learning styles and personality traits they must have a good leader. In a team environment everyone needs a good leader who can see your strengths and weaknesses. Working in a team is a wonderful way to see other aspects from a different point of view. A good leader can implement support system, which will allow a team to work together effectively. Learning Styles A team uses multiple learning styles; I am going to develop a strategy for three of them. The first style that can be effective is bodily/kinesthetic. This is a team member who is more of a hands-on learner. There are so many ways that this kind of learner can work well in a group setting. This is a person who likes physical activity. These team members like to get dirty and are in touch with the physical world around you. They utilize all of their senses around them to learn effectively. Another style of learning is intrapersonal. These learners can evaluate their own thinking. In this style of learning you are very aware of your surroundings and can express your feelings to others well. They do well with their own goals. This person would be great at motivating your team. This member has a great understanding of themselves as well as others. The last learning style that...

...Communication plays a central role in handling conflict. The word conflict nowadays becomes synonymous with most departments within an organization. It's paramount to remember that there are many strategies we can use in conflict situations, but each of us tends to habitually use some strategies more often than others. Throughout this paper I will discuss my primary conflict management style (Collaborator) down to my lesser preferred style (compromiser, controller, accommodator, and avoider). Conflict is an interactive process between two or more parties that requires effective human interaction. The Conflict Management Strategies we can choose from in situations are as follow: • Controlling - using formal authority or other power that you possess to satisfy your concerns without regard to the concerns of the party that you are in conflict with. • Accommodating - allowing the other party to satisfy their concerns while neglecting your own. • Avoiding - not paying attention to the conflict and not taking any action to resolve it. • Compromising - attempting to resolve a conflict by identifying a solution that is partially satisfactory to both parties, but completely satisfactory to neither. • Collaborating - cooperating with the other party to understand their concerns and expressing your own concerns in an effort to find a mutually and completely satisfactory solution (win-win). Research on conflict management styles has found that each of us tends to use one or two of...

...Strategies for Communicating and Collaborating Effectively within a group J.D.P. Gen/200 1 February 2011 I have identified three different learning styles based on the findings from the multiple Pathways to learning Assessment. The three styles were Interpersonal, Verbal linguistic, and Bodily Kinesthetic. Interpersonal: The interpersonal learning style was the first one found during my assessment. These learners seem to communicate well, and can see things from someone else view point. They will cooperate in a group setting. My strategy for effective communication and collaborating would be to listen to what everyone has to say and take notes. Then discuss what was said and reflect on the information then give suggestions. I could take the lead on some assignments. Verbal linguistic: The verbal linguistic will learn by remembering terms. Explaining, learning, and using humor. The strategy for effective communication and collaborating would be to recite what’s discussed, rewrite notes. I could analyze the assignment for more understanding. Teach someone else, read the text outline chapters. Bodily Kinesthetic: The Bodily kinesthetic learning style will learn better by moving, walking and talking will open their thinking process. The strategy for effective communication and collaborating would be to move around, act out what’s being discussed. Use a mental map or draw diagrams or use figures to explain. Try...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Vicky Davis GEN/200 Aug 23, 2010 Axia College of University of Phoenix Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Communication and collaboration is a major key to any learning assessments. Every person has different styles of learning three of the learning styles are visual-spatial, body-kinesthetic and verbal linguistic. Each person has a different type of personality to help develop communication and collaboration effectively. Three types of personality types are thinker, organizer, and giver. Developing strategy and combining learning style and personality style will ensure that the communication and collaboration of each learning assessment is effective. A person with a visual/spatial learning style and an organizer for personality style would work well together. An organizer communicates by making notes, scheduling dates, and formatting in an orderly fashion. Information that has been communicated can be summarized, and displayed in a visual format, this way the organizer with have time to plan and organize his or her response. An organizer must have an agenda and be able to schedule time accordingly to discuss the information captured. By using visual/spatial techniques such as highlighting or color coding each note for related topics, the next step would be easy to make and action can be made. An organizer like to be responsible, prompt and want to see results, they are very detail oriented, committed, accountable...

...various strategies available to build teams, challenges or barrios and measures used to determine if the team is operating successfully. The plan is divided into two sections Team Strategy Plan and Conflict Management Plan. * * Team Strategy Plan: * There are five stages of group development forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The first stage forming is where team members meet and exchange information about each such as experiences and backgrounds. In this stage team members are accepting and avoiding conflict. The second stage is storming team members have different opinions of how and what thing should be done and who should be in control. This may cause some conflict within the teams. The third stage is norming where teams begin to work more effectively together. Team members respect each other’s opinion and differences. The fourth stage is performing teams are fully functional and accepted. Members have gotten to know each other by this stage and are able to the task at hand. The last stage is the adjourning stage where the task is coming to an end. * * One of the challenges we must teams face is conflict. Conflict can result in increase in turnover rate, decrease in team satisfaction and inefficiencies. Conflict may be cause for various reason little or no communication, no support for each other and no clear roles or task. Conflict can however help pull a team together. It is important that teams keep lines of communication open...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Bettia Blount University of Phoenix Effectively working together as a team to accomplish a given task can be a rewarding but challenging process. It is important that each member of the group is aware of the different personality types and learning styles within the team in order to understand where everyone is coming from. By being knowledgeable of the characteristics that make up the other learning styles and personality types, each member of the group will be able to develop a strategy to communicate effectively and collaborate with the other students in a group. After completing the Multiple Pathways to Learning and the Personality Spectrum assessments, I discovered that my learning style is that of a Visual-Spatial individual and my personality type is dominant as an Organizer. This information is vital as a student because I can use this knowledge to maximize my study habits/techniques while continuing my education. In addition to knowing what works best as a student, it is equally important to be aware of the other learning styles and personality types so I can work well with other students. In addition to the Visual-Spatial style of learning that I am dominant in, there are a number of other learning styles that may make up a group. These styles of learning include Verbal-Linguistic, Interpersonal, and Logical-Mathematical ways of learning. According to Carter, Bishop, & Kravits (2007), an individual dominant in...

... We will work together as a team, remaining mindful that the effort we each put into team assignments affects the team as a whole. All communication should take place in the team forum and we will all ensure we meet agreed deadlines. Each team member should run individual portions through plag checker and writepoint prior to posting. My expectations is for everyone in the group to work together as a team. I try and set high standards for myself. We should all work hard on every assignment that we are given. I know that there are some circumstances that prevent us from checking in and responding to the group, but we shall all make a good faith effort to complete all assignments and discussions as soon as time permits. On each assignment we will all agree to a date and time prior to when it is due. Therefore the editor/submitter will have sufficient time to turn it in. I look forward to working with you all and let’s make this the best team in our class. Expectations for Time Management and Involvement (Participation, communication with the team, accessibility, etc.) Individual portions of team assignments and deadlines will be established and agreed upon ahead of time.

...should meet the expectations of the written instruction in order for the team to be a success. I believe all team members should be contributors. If a team member is undergoing difficulties, they should not hesitate to contact another team member for help. Expectations for Time Management and Involvement (Participation, communication with the team, accessibility, etc.) It is essential for all team members to make their best effort to submit assignments at least a day or two in advance. That way it can be viewed by all other team members and should any problems arise, there is space for correction and still meeting the deadlines. All team members need to come up with times they work best for the whole team so that we can communicate back and forth effectively about the topic at hand. Paying attention to any changes and updates is a good idea to stay on track.

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper General Studies 200 Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper To function effectively in a group of individuals you must develop strategies for communicating and collaborating within a group that have different learning styles and personality types. To do so you will need to know your own learning styles and personality types. My top three learning styles in order were: Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Verbal-Linguist. Interpersonal skills are often referred to as possessing people skills. Some skills related to the Interpersonal style are, seeing things from others’ perspectives, cooperating within a group, and communicating verbally and nonverbally. (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007, Key 2.2 How to put your Multiple Intelligences to work for you.). The one style that sticks out is seeing things from others’ perspectives. I can put myself in others’ shoes. To communicate effectively I know many factors go into making a person who they are; ethnic background, where they live, and how they were raised. When communicating and collaborating within a group I can understand different personalities and I am able to work supportively within in the group. My second learning style was Intrapersonal. The skills related to this style are: evaluating own thinking, being aware of and expressing feelings, understanding self in relation to others, and thinking and reasoning on higher levels. (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007, Key...
