Week 6: Team Building and Collaboration "Adjourning"

        It is often difficult for the group, we have formed the five stages of team development that I mentioned in the discussion platform this week to leave a high-performing group when it reaches the "adjourning" stage. In my personal experiences with the postponement phase of team development within the last group I was involved in, I feel that my feelings were affected several ways after adjourning the group. Building professional relationships in the group can create professional opportunities and broaden my perspective on professional issues and be meaningful. I think it is not easy to leave a group that has done successful work. I believe this situation, which is shaped depending on the type of group you are in, will not be the case for a challenging working group. I have been in many high-performance groups, and some were easy to leave; leaving the others was difficult.         While I was a school administrator; I w...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

EDUC-6165: Who am I as a Communicator

  Thinking and studying the assignment this week, I have noticed that my perception of what a good communicator should be has expanded. It allowed me to see my communication skills with other people and how people perceive me. My awareness of being a competent communicator emphasized, thanks to the differences between my score and others' scores. I first made the three evaluations for myself and then compared the results to my ex-colleague and brother's result. What surprised me most was that I am in group 1, for all three assessment scores in listening styles. The way I listen to empathy and emotion helps me build relationships, but it reflects that it can interfere with judging correctly. However, I had thought that my listening styles in my professional life tend to be action-oriented or content-oriented (Rubin et al., 2009). When I took the Communication anxiety inventory results are, I expected it to be much higher. My results were moderate, indicating that I was somew...
