Working as a general agency intern in the summer of 2013 at Zizzo provided my first glimpse into the real-time agency world. I learned how your departments collaborated and dipped my toes in a variety of them. Two years and a bachelor degree later, I’m ready to embark a more specialized journey with the empowering group I remember. Here’s what I’ll bring as your PR intern:
Experience
Incredible work stems from a team with volunteer tendencies, the confidence to test out new ideas and dedication to meet deadlines. Maintaining a positive energy with a healthy dose of reality checks are key to successful communication.
Professionalism
I’ve interacted directly with clients, sponsors, media and the public. Having a keen eye for errors and anticipating
Effective working relationships are the cornerstone for building and maintaining a successful team. Good team communication provides direction, vision and motivation to the members of the team. Team communication can be the sending or receiving of messages to or from management, between team members or from one team to another. Effective team communication increases team members' effectiveness and satisfaction because they are given the appropriate guidelines, tools and direction on how to accomplish tasks. The team needs to
| “The top 10 features of an effective team are: * clear purpose; * open communication; * constructive conflict; * effective problem-solving and decision making; * defined roles, responsibilities and accountability; * strong relationships; * systems and procedures; * experimentation and creativity; * measurement and self-assessment; * shared leadership.” For a team to be effective, they need to have clear
Atmosphere during the meeting was friendly and thank to this that all team members knew each other from daily meetings effective communication was easily achieved. However, there was a few problems.
Throughout the readings communication was identified as a vital component for establishing and maintaining relationships. Porter-O Grady sanctioned for leaders to establish firm rules of engagement to help support a positive group dynamic (2013). While Kelly & Tazbir explained that friction and conflict were a normal part of group development and were representative of the Storming stage of group process (2014). Moreover, they explained that with assistance from the team leader the team can overcome these obstacles, strengthen inter-professional relationships, and enter into the Norming stage (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). Here the team is able to participate in the effective exchange of communication and begin making progress toward goals. This represents progression into the Performing stage of group process (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). When the team has met its intended target they are ready to anylze the outcomes of their work and enter the final stage of group process—Adjourning (Kelly & Tazbir,
All things considered, communication must be improved. It is my belief that if employees are informed and made to feel a part of a functioning team, we will see a great improvement in employee morale, more error-free projects will be produced, and client deadlines will be met with less overtime requirements. In order to open the lines of communication, to boost employee morale, to reduce the number of overtime hours, to eliminate client dissatisfaction, and to enhance the project quality, and to improve on performance, I recommend that the following steps be enacted. • • • • • • • The CEO will hold weekly staff meetings Department managers will conduct a weekly staff meeting An all-hands meeting will be held monthly Publish a monthly newsletter Place suggestion boxes in every department Implement a project tracking system Appoint an employee to schedule and monitor the progress of all projects
Describe some examples of ways that support. positive and effective communication in the team. What are the barriers? Evidence activity ● Patience: if we rush what we say, others may find it difficult to understand what is being communicated. Similarly, if we come across as impatient when others are trying to get their point across, we are more likely to lose focus and not hear what they are saying.
Setting the scene for good effective communication within a team must come from the Manager. Having an open, honest, ‘door always open’ policy and someone who gives clear, concise unambiguous information and direction means that everyone gets the same consistent message and is then encouraged to do the same.
Team work and open communication is, as I have said and will say numerous times, vital to achieving organisational objectives and creating a positive working environment and a ‘can-do’ attitude.
It is important to agree and commit to a strategy for communicating as a project team. Consider options. Having a communication strategy that people haven’t had an opportunity to agree on, or who aren’t aware of, will mean that communication won’t be effective.
When being a professional you must conduct yourself in a professional manner. You must learn how to treat others with respect and be loyal to yourself and your team. Professionalism, more

For a team to work together effectively it is an important process that a trusting, open relationship is developed within the team (Ulrich & Crider 2017). This was accomplished within my group prior
The topic focused in this paper within teamwork is communication. In teamwork, communication in an important part in order to achieve success and reach goals. This was the reason why this topic was chosen because; establishing good communication facilitates team work and achievements. This paper will be discussing four good practices that are important for communication, which are suggested by peer-reviewed scholarly articles. Each good practice is provided with an example of how it can be used in my discipline and why it could be helpful. My first practice is to establish a dialogue and hold a common ground as a team. This means to not treat the team as a debate with others, but rather with mutual respect. My second good practice in communication looks as individual communication skills, and assertiveness. My third practice views team communication skills, including team conflict resolution. The final good practice looks how to communicate during the decision making process as a team. In addition a useful technique in part of decision making is brainstorming. Following each practice will assist the team and its members to have good communication and form a stronger team.
Communication is the key to success. A team without communication could never be successful. Communication is important because the group needs a clear goal and also they need to have shared objectives. For example, in football a defense needs to be on the same page; if two players on the defense are on different pages then the defense will not be successful. You need everyone to share the same objective in order to succeed, not just a few people but all as one. To ensure a team’s success, everyone on the team has to be accountable. Everyone has a job on the team to contribute to becoming successful as a whole. Also you need trust in order to become successful; you have to be able to trust in your team that they will give their all for the team.
Working within a group or team is unavoidable for most people. We are involved in sports teams, assignment groups, work teams, social groups and a variety of other groups and teams. Each of these groups share one thing in common, that is each requires us to communicate in some way in order to reach a shared goal or target. Therefore, it is imperative to know and understand how to work and communicate effectively with others to maximise outcomes and productivity.
