Reflect on a recent team experience from your work, military or personal life where communication within the team did not go as planned and address the following questions.
- Describe the team that you were part of and the shared purpose of your work together. Include the size of the team.
- What were the team’s top 2-3 goals?
- What were your personal top 2-3 goals?
- Use the Chapter 7 Self-Assessment: Evaluating Your Team’s Communication Effectiveness to rate the communications your team did not do well and provide a description of one of your lowest scores. [Example: “Our team did not encourage feedback so I gave a score of 1 because we did not do well with in this area of communication.”]
- You will find the Self-Assessment in the 12th edition on page 216 and 13th Edition on page 231 of the hardcopy. If you are using a digital version of the book and your page numbers are different from these, you can find the Self-Assessment close to the end of the chapter immediately before the section Promote Desirable Norms.
- Considering this area in which you gave the team a low score in communications, review Chapters 7 and 8 to identify a solution or approach for how communications could have been improved. Also include the page number from the textbook where this solution is found.
- Describe how the team’s goals would have been met using this solution.
- Describe how your goals would have been met using this solution.
