Principles of Management MGT300 - Module 5

Discussion Question:

We learn in this module about some of the most difficult-to-avoid (and sometimes most common) obstacles to effective communication by managers. Describe an instance when your job was made more difficult and/or less pleasant because of poor communication on the part of your organization and/or manager.

• What went wrong in that instance?
• How could the negative impacts have been ameliorated or avoided?
• Distinguish between various communication obstacles and apply strategies to mitigate their negative effects when dealing with organizations on a global scale.

Support your comments by discussing one or more examples from the contemporary environment. Using APA standards, cite at least one story from popular media (newspaper, radio, television, internet, podcast, etc.).
