Listen: How to Effectively Communicate During Conflict (Without Making it Worse!)-Terri Cole (19:41 minutes)
In this discussion, the learner will explore common barriers to effective communication in leadership. By examining real-world scenarios and reflecting on course readings, learners will identify how these obstacles hinder a leader’s ability to communicate clearly and maintain team cohesion.
Instructions:
Effective communication is essential for strong leadership, but numerous barriers (psychological, cultural, or technological) can prevent leaders from communicating successfully with their teams. In this discussion, we will explore common barriers listed in your reading (filtering, gossip, information overload, semantics, etc.) and discuss how leaders can overcome them.
For your initial post, respond to these prompts:
What do you think are some of the biggest barriers to communication in a leadership context?
Share a brief example or scenario where one of the barriers you identified might affect a leader’s ability to communicate clearly with their team.
How do these barriers impact a leader’s effectiveness?
Based on our readings, what steps can leaders use to break down these barriers and improve communication to resolve conflict within their teams?
For your two reply posts, offer constructive suggestions or additional resources that could help enhance your peer’s communication approach for resolution of conflicts.
