Scream-Free Communication Style

A leader must listen to its followers and vice versa. Both Gardner and Wooden in their books provide examples that both ineffective and effective communication can affect a group or organization—for better or worse. However, through positive open communication that is produced from the group can lead to positive and effective improvement (Wooden, 2005, p.198-201; Gardner,1990, p.86) for the work environment and respectability between leader and follower.

As a leader I think I am good with communicating with coworkers and patients. I am good at making sure coworkers understand clearly what needs to be done on a daily basis. I relate my vision to the team in order for us to reach the same goal. There is an open door for my team to be able to talk to me and discuss their concerns with the company or ideas on how to solve a certain situation. Having my team trust me is very important to me because they help the company grow and if they’re happy they give the best customer service. I make sure there is a positive energy even in tough situations. Even if the system is down or there is an angry patient, making sure my coworkers do not see me overwhelmed is key in a leader. Panicking well not help

As Nancy Naeve puts it, “Don’t be bossy saucy.” This is good leadership because it helps leaders listen to their followers more and growing a relationship with them. If a leader listens to their followers it shows that they are confident enough in themselves to not be scared to be wrong and even if they are wrong they do not let it bother them. They accept the fact, adjust and move on. Even in the article, Four Essential Qualities for Leadership in Today’s Complex World, they talk about needing to “walk the

As I completed the styles under stress assessment test, I was not surprised and the results were expected of me. Because according to my own experience the results just emphasized on my personal reactions to similar circumstances and situations. Therefore, as I know myself, my communication behaviors, and management style’s experience in front of questions, I did not find difficult to answer the questions. For example, when others get defensive because they misunderstand me, I will get us back by clarifying what I do and do not mean. This could happen in different situations, such as family, community, workgroup or between individual friend, but with same result and reaction from me. So, I think if I thought of a different situation, I would

Expressing clarity in my leadership something I have been working on for a couple years now. I have a tendency to see what I want done and I Know how we are gonna get there however, I do not always clarify that to everyone else. In this weeks article ‘The Case for Clarity: A Key Leadership Ingredient” it states: “Effective leaders don’t have to be passionate. They don’t have to be charming. They don’t have to be brilliant...They don’t have to be great speakers. What they must be is clear.” (pg. 1) If I’m honest this statement caught me completely off guard. After dissecting the statement I completely agree. (Although charming does help)

According to Cook (2009), a leader must demonstrate the four crucial EQ concepts; self-aware, self-management, awareness of others, and relating to others (p. 71), and being conscientious of their body language, tone of voice, and the words used (p. 74). The author further explains by applying the push and pull method, a leader has the foundation and capabilities of becoming a good leader (p. 75). Most leaders might think about the words they are going to say to a co-worker, so they can influence them in the direction they want them to go. However, many leaders do not pay much attention to their body language and when the two are not sending the same message it will cause a conflict in the received message. Applying the traits and behavior

The scene I'm going to describe is from my guilty pleasure show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The main character Rebecca has used lots of nonverbal communication throughout the show. In a recent episode, her ex-boyfriend Trent returns and blackmails her into being his girlfriend again. He kept her in her apartment for a few days and then she finally convinces him to go to her office to meet her coworkers. There Rebecca uses nonverbal communication to let her coworker and friend Paula know she is in trouble.

To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.

Keith H. Basso’s ethnographic research titled, To Give up on Words: Silence in Western Apache Culture is an investigation of situations when members of a certain Apache community in the western United States assume the state of silence as a form of social interaction. In this paper, I will first note details of the society under consideration and Basso’s interests in regards to the questions he is trying to answer. I will introduce some anthropological concepts that are suitable to the discussion, followed by Basso’s observations regarding silence in the Apache community, including his methods, arguments, and conclusion. Finally, I will evaluate Basso’s findings and deduce if the evidence supports the conclusion made; I will

Life is full of trials and tribulations every day. How we learn to stay consistent with our demeanor, or our moods, and how we speak to people as well as how we look at them will set the tone for our mission and how we can accomplish our goals.It is amazing the different variations in leadership style that can determine or almost pre-determine one’s outcome to any situation. I have never considered why a boss or leader may act the way he or she does based on this criteria. I have only ever thought about it in terms of personality clashes. The fact that you can label these traits and understand what type of decisions will be made from this kind of assessment is both good and bad. Consequently, it is great if you say and do all the right things consistently; however it is enlightening if you don’t. Fortunately one can change behaviors or ideas that have been pre-determined to be wrong to create a more positive outcome.

My father and my grandfather are both accomplished, self-taught guitarists. I began to learn the instrument as soon as I was able to hold a guitar at four years of age. In addition I have sought instruction from professional guitar instructors. However, I have realized a struggle with my own introversion and awkwardness with spoken communication in public. This might be a serious hinderance to a successful preforming musician. This struggle was highlighted when I was interviewed for a local culture story. I watched myself fumble with a few sentences on live television. Another example occurred when my high school music theory teacher sat on my desk last october for a little chat. ” He said, “ Really ? Have you ever performed? ” I said,

Two of the most prevalent forms of communication styles are direct and indirect communication; these two communication styles impact how members of a culture interact with each other (Morreale & Pearson, 2008). According to Craddock (2002), Kierkegaard, regarded direct communication, “as the mode for transferring information and considered it totally appropriate to the fields of history, science, and related disciplines” (p. 70). Direct communication can be defined as, “speech that specifically states and directs an action. When someone hears direct speech, they know immediately what needs to be done. There is no question about who is in charge, and usually no need for discussion” (Gaddis, 2006, p. 11). On the other hand, Kiergaard believed that, “the indirect was the mode for eliciting capability and action from within the listener, a transaction that did not occur by giving the hearer some information” (Craddock, 2002, p. 70). Unlike direct communication, “a indirect style of speech is not typically authoritative, rather it encourages input from the listener” (Gaddis, 2006, p. 11). The direct and indirect communication styles are often used in different fields, disciplines, and industries ranging from education, workplace, literature, and entertainment, to church services (Morreale & Pearson, 2008). For example, the population relies on the news media as the main source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting decisions” (Fog, 1999, p.

Research shows that interpersonal communication can have a profound effect in the workplace in both positive and negative manners. Successful communication can ease conflicts and create open channels in conflict management situations. Consequently, choosing the right medium of communicating is key to conveying the intended message; at the same time, active listening also plays a factor in how the intended message is received. “Communication is a topic frequently linked to leadership; however, the linkage often is
