The subject is Managerial communication, it is a graduate programme:Management Reflection Paper: Communication Style:
Langton, N., Robbins, S. P., and Judge, T.A. (2019) Organizational Behaviour: Concepts, Controversies, Applications, Eighth Canadian Edition, Pearson, ON., chap:6 – communicationThe purpose of the manager reflection papers is for each student to assess his or her own management skills. You will reflect on management in real-life contexts. The focus of this paper is self-reflection, and not on theories. Hence use theory to support claims you make regarding issues as they are related to YOU. As such, there is no need to include all relevant theories, and certainly there isn’t room for this based on the short length of the paper. Rather, marks are allocated for DEPTH of self-reflection, evidence of use of self-inventories as part of the self-reflection, and reference to theory only as it is applicable to the above. Hence, this is not a research paper, but one that emphasizes self-reflection leading to personal growth as a manager. If you are not a manager, reflect on how this relates to you as an employee. These papers are only submitted to canvasInstructions:
Research the concepts (based on the text and external sources) and discuss how they relate to your own management style.
