COMM511: Discussion 3


Instructions: 

Briefly describe and explain why being an effective communicator is a MUST in your role as a leader. Be sure to fully cite all sources in these descriptions.  

3. Define and describe inclusion. Tell us about a time when you felt included in a situation. Moreover, tell us about how we can teach people to do more of that behavior?
Now, tell us about a time when you didn’t feel included. How can we teach people to do less of that behavior? Why is creating an inclusive environment important in achieving organizational goals? 

4. What strategies will you implement to create an inclusive environment, where those that you lead feel valued and accepted? Why is creating a climate and culture of value important to organizations? What is the “return” for helping those around you thrive?

 It would be helpful to reference a source and bring in information to support your discussion. You may frame your response in terms of your efforts in communication language used with others, moderating your implicit biases, and managing your emotions and empathy with regards to others you lead. This discussion is open to whatever has resonated with you in helping you to be more aware and committed to an inclusive environment, good communication practices, and strong leadership qualities needed in today’s environment.
