Questions on the Rescue of the Chilean Miners

This is corresponding to today’s community because if the climbers are unskilled and they are not sure about safety, then they must not go mountain climbing, if they die their family and friends will be sad also the rescuer may die too. There have been over 230 deaths on the mountain. It’s very dangerous! what if the accident happen? People never know what will happen in the future. Think before you do something! Undoubtedly, people do not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at

To the family of the trapped miners I would chose to use the face-to-face approach since such a sensitive matter at hand where their family member’s lives are at risk. The considerations that you need to keep in mind when addressing the family members is that many of them are going to be frightened and scared for the safety of their family members. You will want to have all your facts and be prepared to answer many difficult questions concerning the well-being of the miners and how long it is going to take to rescue them, as well as providing them with the facts about how this happened. A good thing to do in a situation like this is to offer

Financial assistance would be the number one need, spiritual, and counseling to help them cope with the accident. The company must keep the families updated with the progression of the rescue mission. The representative must make sure the information that will be communicated to the families is current and correct. However, the President Sebastiàn Piñera took the initiative to use his communication skills to inform and to keep the miners' families, and the community at peace.

“The Minera San Esteban Primera Company” does not have a good track record over the years in regards to safety, which have included several fatal accidents at the worksites. The person issuing a public statement regarding the Chilean copper mine collapse must know the audience that is receiving the message. In a case like this, the company must be aware that this will shed a very bleak picture of their company to the recipients. The company should understand what their employees might need to hear from them. Employees would need to be assured that measures will be taken to improve work conditions, which will make for a safer work environment. The employees would also need to hear that the company is going to compensate the workers appropriately for working in such dangerous conditions. The company can address these issues by establishing some type of safety or operational risk management (ORM) program. As for the compensation, the company could tell the employees that a worker’s compensation program is being developed, which would enable the workers to beat ease if something like this were to happen again. This would also show the employees that the company does actually care about them and not just the money. Also, when communicating to the employees the company can acknowledge or accept their failures to ensure a safe work environment.

From this article, I gained a valuable perspective on communicating a message by framing it in a way that focuses the listener’s attention to the data that is the most pivotal or salient that is related to the issue. Framing is important because it reduces the complexity to help make sense of the issue to help focus their attention on the appropriate issues which aids in persuading another to the appropriate decision. It is important for me as a leader to be able to

The representative of the company who will be communicating with the family members needs to make sure that every family needs would have been met. Financial assistance would be the number one need, spiritual, and counseling to help them cope with the accident. The company must keep the families updated with the progression of the rescue mission. The representative must make sure the information that will be communicated to the families is current and correct. However, the President, Sebastiàn Piñera took the initiative to use his communication skills to inform and to keep the miners' families, and the community at peace.

Rule number three sticks out the most and was the most notable the few times I have attended a theater performances. Seeing and hearing the actors and actresses move around and dance their way across the stage makes it very evident that the actors are, in fact, real, living, breathing human beings, just like the people in the audience. That element is typically lost in movies and tv shows, and the audience feels dislocated from the performers. In theater, it is a much more personal experience, and there is so much more connection between the audience and the performers. In the video of Mrs. Kathleen Turner, she expressed the connection between members of the audience, but from my experience, the real connection was between the members of the

: In chapter 1, it focuses on many things, but it travels through the story of the Chilean miners. Chapter one goes over the process of a psychological experiment, the basic definitions and ideas in psychology, and different careers in psychology. The chapter details a situation where a psychologist was needed and ultimately helped the miners survive underground. Psychologists used knowledge from similar research and experiments to help the miners cope with being underground for 10 weeks. Not only did the psychologist helping the miners give psychological advice on how to cope with the extraordinary conditions they were in, they helped the miner's families that were trying to cope with the possibility of not seeing their loved ones again. Personally,

Recently I attended a performance at my high school. Having been in theatre my entire high school career, I learned and understand the norms of that setting. However there is definitely a difference within how different sub groups interact with these norms. While normally the intent of watching the performance is the goal in attending a show, I took the opportunity to observe the audience and company of the show before, during, and after the show.

The experiences that I have had throughout the class have definitely helped me to grow as a person and shape my perspective effectively. There were tough moments during the GRC and even with class discussions. There was a lot to learn. Speaking of the Chilean mining rescue (Chilean mining rescue, 2012) was always an aspect of a course that gave me a good example of how to manage diversity in groups.

Consideration of the communication needs of the different individuals interested in the collapse of the San Jose mine would require tailoring detailed strategies for the various different groups based on their roles. These groups would include families, workers and the general public. This implies that the speaker would be an executive from Compañia Minera San Esteban Primera, the owner and operator of the San Jose mine (Reuters, 2010a, n.p.). The firm would want an executive to speak to all groups because considering the number of lives at risk and individuals affected connected to those trapped in the mine, communication from a representative with less standing would be seen as a minimization of the importance of this disaster. This is implied by the executive level of the national Chilean leadership participating in and commenting on rescue attempts, which include the President of Chile and the Minister of Mining (Reuters 2010a). Sending any speaker less than the rank of executive would imply the owner/operator took this less seriously than the national government itself.

Another role of communication is that of indicating what must be communicated to the organisations various stakeholder groups (Angelopulo & Barker, 2015). This ensures that the right messages are received by the right people thus increasing the organisations efficiency.

The leadership team did not carefully evaluate their method of communication with stakeholders and created personal barriers with regard to the level of trust. This barrier created a distortion in the communication between the leadership team, Technologies Workers Union, and the employees. Kinicki and Kreitner (2003) stated, “communication is more likely to be distorted when people do not trust each other,” (p. 525). The leadership team now has an opportunity to develop a more effective communication plan that will reduce these barriers by effectively communicating with all the stakeholders and maintaining integrity through honesty and respect. Kinicki and Kreitner (2003) define distortion as, “an important problem in organizations because modifications to message can cause misdirectives to be transmitted, non-directives to be issued, incorrect information to be passed on, and a variety of other problems related to both quantity and quality of information,’” (p.

Communication is the essence of all human interaction, relationships and learning. Creating and maintaining strong and constructive relationships with all stakeholders is after all the main scope of organization’s communications. On this view, effective communications are vital for organizations to grow, evolve and stand out among the competitors. The new era of digital communications, the globalized economy and empowered scrutinized stakeholders have challenged the traditional communications practices. As a reaction to adapt to this new environment and changed conditions, it is not very uncommon that managers and consultants advice organizations to embrace the ideal of integrated communications.

The concerns related to forwarding this information on to the senior executive team members without causing defensiveness are immense, as most of the management team being discussed is family members. The presentation needs to be that of a non defensive and non disconfirming nature, which means that no one receiving this information should “feel threatened or punished, by the communication. For that person, self protection becomes more important than listening” (Whetten & Cameron, 2002, p.223). Disconfirmation occurs when an individual
