Group communication challenges: a) Role ambiguity Roles that are not well defined within a group might cause members to be unclear of their obligations, which can result in work being neglected or overlapping. Impact: Members of the group may get frustrated, confused, and less productive as a result. b) Dominance and participation Imbalance Discussions may be dominated by some participants, while others may feel excluded or hesitant to participate. Impact: This may lead to a lack of varied viewpoints, a decline in group cohesiveness, and possibly even animosity. c) Conflict management In group environments, disagreements are inevitable, but ineffective conflict resolution techniques can make things worse. Impact: Unresolved disputes can impede teamwork, lower output, and foster a hostile work atmosphere. d) Decision making process Poor outcomes might result from ineffective decision-making processes, such as a lack of consensus or ambiguous criteria. Impact: This may lead to decisions that lack group support, which could make implementation difficult. e) Cultural and communication style differences Members of diverse groups may come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and have distinct communication styles. Impact: Misunderstandings and misinterpretations can happen, which can have an impact on the efficacy and dynamics of a group.

Based on each described challenge, propose clear communication strategies that effectively address the issue. Your discussion should include specific references, actions, appropriate communication techniques, and consideration of the communication context.
