In the subject MGMT1001, six individuals were grouped together to complete two virtual online simulation climbs on Mount Everest. Each individual was given goals to achieve and a role to play during the climb, except for the Observer who only observes the game. The first simulation consisted of team members playing the game within different locations and communicating through a Skype chat function. Whereas, the second simulation consisted of team members playing the game face-to-face and within the same location. The game consisted of six rounds, each representing a day of the climb.…

I chose the cognate strategies conciseness, clarity, credibility, expectation, and emphasis to research. All cognate strategies are essential in creating a written form of communication that can be understood correctly by the recipient. One thing to keep in mind is I am using my profession as a reference and I will provide general messages that we use. Due to confidentiality I will not provide any actual information used from the 911 center. Conciseness…
VI. Interprofessional Communication & Collaboration for Improving Patient Health Outcome Communicating effectively with all health care disciplines is imperative for a conducive, civil work environment and to the safety of patients.

Chapter Nine: Respectful Communication in an Information Age This week’s experience at the clinic evoked the reflections on communication problems between healthcare team members and the patient. The patient recovering from total hip arthroplasty (THA) has received the physical therapy and afterwards was diagnosed with hip dislocation. The patient and the therapist knew she will be taken for x-ray; however, she was not contraindicated to exercise by a physician or physical therapist. The circumstances of this event made me reflect on the actions that could be done to prevent this scenario in future.…
This paper will talk about one communication situation occurred with two teenaged kids and pick two best communication theory applications to apply to the situation when a 16-years old high school girl, Molly, told her 17-years old boyfriend, Macky, that she is pregnant. At that point, there were tensions and arguments between the two whether to abort the fetus or not. They both feel push and pull of conflicting desires through life and relationship. The two communication theories would be Relational Dialectics Theory by Leslie Baxter and Barbara Montgomery and Face Negotiation Theory by Stella Ting-Toomey; all are from the textbook that was used in the class, “Introducing Communication Theory-Analysis and Application.” Relational Dialectics…
My Leadership Philosophy is one of direct communication with an emphasis on adaptation of my leadership style and finding out what motivates my Soldiers. I believe these three key elements provide the subordinate and me the best opportunity to excel in our symbiotic relationship. I must provide my subordinates with clear and concise guidance. Additionally, I must be willing to adapt my approach to fit my subordinates at times. It is my duty to find out what drives and motivates my Soldiers so that he or she can achieve greatness.…
The aspect of leadership that I need to focus most on improving is that of having the ability to balance work, school, and time with my family. I find that a great deal of the time I spend at home is spent working on schoolwork. This unbalance takes away from time that I should be spending with my husband and children and often leaves me feeling overwhelmed. Many people have the tendency to procrastinate on projects, and find them having to rush to do these tasks at the last minute. A big part of my problem is feeling that I need to complete assignments as soon as they are given.…

As a child, I really enjoyed reading books, this may be because my mother and father would try to read to me each night before bed. One of my favorite bedtime stories would be Aesop 's fables, particularly the Tortoise and the Hare. Although the Hare was talented and had the ability to be a champion, his arrogance made him lose the race when he decided to sleep during the race because he thought his opponent was not good enough. To this day I personally resonate with the idea of the underdog overcoming any obstacles, and that is what the tortoise signifies. The tortoise understood that although he was not in the best position to win the race, he should not give up or not compete.…

In previous leadership positions, I have had to communicate with my entire class. Coordinating class events takes serious communication and is not an easy task. My only weakness with communication may be that I do not have much experience with other cultures which is a skill I plan to develop. I believe I have very strong ethics and will have no problem incorporating them in my leadership practices. I have had experience with team development as a captain of my soccer team.…
Communication shares ideas, thoughts and feeling with others. However, effective communication is contingent upon the context in which we live as well as the audience to whom we speak. For instance, communication has a huge role to play in the workplace as managers try to get the best out of employees. As managers soar to top management positions and roles change, many fail to upgrade communication skills. Personally, it is a place of isolation.…
