© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Barriers to Effective Communication  STATUS EFFECT [different position in the hierarchy]  SEMANTIC PROBLEMS [the same word in different ways, or different words in the same way]  PERCEPTUAL DISTORTIONS [ a poor understanding, inability to "listen" of others]  CULTURAL DIFFERENCES [meeting appointed for 8:00 a.m. starts in Germany at 8:00 a.m. but in Slovakia usually at 8: 15 - What is the reason for that?]  PHYSICAL DISTRACTIONS [ noise, etc.]  POOR CHOICE OF COMMUNICATION CHANNELS  NO FEEDBACK [one - way communication]

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Barriers to Effective Communication No Feedback Semantic Problems Poor Choice of Communication Channel Physical Distractions SENDERRECEIVER Cultural Differences Status Effect Perceptual Distortions

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Status Effects  STATUS EFFECTS  MANAGERS TEND TO DO A LOT OF "TELLING" BUT NOT MUCH "LISTENING"

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Semantic Problems (Examples)  A: "WE SOLICIT ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU WISH TO MAKE, AND YOU MAY BE ASSURED THAT ANY SUCH RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE GIVEN OUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION“  B: "CONSUMER ELEMENTS ARE CONTINUING TO STRESS THE FUNDAMENTAL NECESSITY OF A STABILIZATION OF THE PRICE STRUCTURE AT A LOWER LEVEL THAN EXISTS AT THE PRESENT TIME“  HOW WOULD YOU PUT IT?  A: " SEND US YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS. THEY WILL BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY ".  B: "CONSUMERS WANT LOWER PRICES".

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Personal Barriers  THERE ARE S0ME OTHER - PERSONAL BARRIERS:  FILTER OF INFORMATION [sender]  SELECTION OF INFORMATION [receiver]  EMOTIONS  LANGUAGE [the way how an individual talks]

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Dealing with Barriers  ACTIONS OF SENDERS  Be sure about:  WHO: To whom should the message go?  WHY: Why am I communicating? What are my motives?  WHAT: Decide what to communicate. Be clear about what you need to communicate.  WHEN: Choose the best time for optimum reception.  HOW: Use language the receiver will understand.  ACTIONS OF RECEIVERS  Be fully ATTENTIVE to sender  Listen ACTIVELY to the message being sent ASK for clarification, repetition where necessary  Keep CHECKING with sender

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Basic Communication Skills  SKILLS THAT ARE THE MANAGER'S "TOOL BOX" WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE:  LISTENING, and giving and receiving FEEDBACK  ASSERTIVENESS  RESOLVING CONFLICTS  SOLVING PROBLEMS

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Some Hints for Improving Feedback  Comment on specific actions  Give reasons for your comments  Concentrate on behavior which can be changed  Be descriptive, not evaluative  Express opinions as opinions, not facts  Be constructive, not destructive  Avoid loaded terms which produce emotional reaction  Giving criticism - do not put down people in front of others

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Assertiveness

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Assertiveness  IS A MEANS OF MAKING AN IMPACT ON OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS  MANAGERS NEED TO DEVELOP ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS TO BECOME EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS  IN ORDER TO DO SO THE MANAGER SHOULD:  SEND HIS / HER ASSERTIVE MESSAGE  LISTEN ACTIVELY  RECYCLE THE PROCESS  FOCUS ON THE SOLUTION

© J. Rudy, Organizational Behavior, FMCU, Fall 2007 Resolving Conflicts  USE ACTIVE LISTENING  USE ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS  REDUCE COMMUNICATION BLOCKAGES BETWEEN THE PARTIES  CONCENTRATE ON ISSUES  IDENTIFY AND APPRAISE THE ACTIONS DECIDED
