The Face Of Face Communication

Communication is one of the main things humans do in their day to day activities. Scholars define communication as an act of exchanging information between one another and understanding the meaning of it (Semenescu, 2016). The four mains types of communication are written, verbal, non-verbal and visual. Humans communicate to establish relationship, build foundation for planning, socializing in general and motivating each other. Communication can vary in different settings. For example in personal context, communication style used is more relaxed, which means that informal language is used. However, in a professional context, communication style used in more focused on workplace. Therefore, the language used is more formal so as to show respect

In today's world, there are so many ways to communicate! I would like you to evaluate the communication within your company. Are meetings run effectively? Does your manager do a good job of communicating ideas, performance, expectations? What could be improved upon?

To me interpersonal communication describes the exchange of verbal and nonverbal messages between two different people. Joseph DeVito states that “interpersonal communication is inevitable, irreversible, and unrepeatable” due to these things effective communication is a necessary skill for us to function in our day to day lives (p. 20). Therefore, I have created a theory for interpersonal communication that goes as follows; To experience effective communication you must understand: your culture, the other person’s culture, and how to listen effectively. By knowing these three things you can consistently avoid misunderstandings and promote understanding in your interpersonal and intercultural relationships.

Emphasizing clarity in workplace communication also means limiting the amount of technological interference. Even though technology is making it easier and easier to communicate with co-workers without actually seeing them, face-to-face communication is still the most important factor in fostering long-term friendships among those co-workers, (Sias, 2012).

Effective teams tend to communicate well together whether this is by means of telephone, email or in person and that

Effective teams require strong supportive leadership. It is imperative good communication between hierarchical levels of the organisation are in place, without productivity decreases and employee satisfaction and morale decline.

When giving someone bad news you should always use face-to-face communication! Doing this shows respect to Jennifer along with ensuring there is no misunderstanding during the termination. Getting fired is not a pleasant experience therefore Jennifer might not want this information written down. When you have information to pass along to another, that is thought to be personal, it is best to keep it confidential by speaking in person with her. This could be considered a complex issue in that case you should avoid conflict and have this conversation in

My assumption of facial displays is that they communicate the most information during interactions. I also believe that facial expressions allow individuals to figure out the truth about how someone is feeling.

1.1 Describe communication techniques used to gain and maintain the attention and interest of an audience

This project has opened so many new opportunities for my dad and I to allow for our relationship to grow. The process of the project was difficult because of my target person not being available to me every day. I had to develop different communication strategies to use when interacting with him either on the phone or in person. As I mentioned those interactions before, I had to remain positive for myself and for my dad so that we could efficiently be able to have meaningful conversation. It was not easy for me to have a positive attitude all the time since I had other external factors going on in my life as well. For my reactions, I tried to have a neutral facial expression or a tone when we would communicate and it was something that I did

For the Face-to-Face Communication Tactic section the most effective tactic for college students would have to be the special events tactic. This is because it has a little bit of everything. “Annual meetings, groundbreakings, open houses, grand openings, anniversary celebrations, awards/recognition events, sporting events, fundraisers” (Swanson 563). This is because as college students none are exactly alike and with this special mix it allows everyone to be happy. The most effect tactic for parents would be special events as well. This is because like college students the parents will want to focus on what their kids are into. The social events tactic allows for the parents to get an inside peak of what their kids are seeing.

At the MIT Human Dynamics Laboratory a research study was conducted in an attempt to find out what factors make an effective team. Researcher Alex “Sandy” Pentland (2012) first sought out companies with multiple teams that were comparable, but had fluctuating performance. He then outfitted these teams with socio-metric badges. These badges, which are also known as sociometers, automatically measure face-to-face interaction, body motion, and vocal features among other things. Through multiple studies and the analysis of this data Pentland suggests that communication is the single most important factor of an effective team.

Communication should be clear, concise, and succinct to avoid any room for misinterpretation; Negative nonverbal cues such as, facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language, could discredit the person-to-person conversation. Communication scholars argue that one should not assume that more communication is equated with better communication (Keyton, 2013, p. 154), especially with the added use of nonverbal cues. It is understood that interpersonal communication is important, but whether it changes the landscape of a business for the better is another question, altogether. There are both formal and informal communications in the workplace; Formal, dealing with work decisions and the latter, dealing with friendships and non-work-related banter.

Employers believe employees are taking advantage of the Internet while at work to access inappropriate websites such as shopping, gambling, pornographic material, and illegal downloading. Therefore, employers are searching for ways to reduce Internet exploring and increase work production, and remain within the state and federal guidelines (Young, 2011). To combat these issues, monitoring technologies are put in place to make employees more productive during company’s work hours. Monitoring technologies are classified as the use of computerized system that automatically collect, store, analyze, and report information about how an employee is performing his/her job (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007). This helps companies to track their employee’s Internet movements, obtain detailed information (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007), and protect the privacy of their company. In return, employers hope this will limit or eliminate employees from extensive use of the Internet.
