In this discussion, you'll continue to examine collaboration and team dynamics in the workplace, specifically communication barriers and how professional codes of conduct and ethics are used to exemplify your personal brand in the workplace. Review the readings and resources in Module Six to help prepare you for the discussion. Then, select one of the scenarios below to evaluate:

· Scenario One: You work as an editor in an editorial department for a publishing house. You have been working there for four years, and the environment is highly political. One day when your colleague arrives at work, he is brought into a meeting with the director and the HR manager. There, he is told that the editing department is being downsized due to an overall reduction in editing work and that, as a more junior member, he has lost his job. You and other team members feel that he was unjustly let go because there has been no reduction in workload and because he'd received good performance reviews in the past.

· Scenario Two: You are a project manager at a technology company, and your project team is spread geographically across the country. You and two technical analysts who report to you are located in the corporate headquarters office. Other team members are located in different buildings in the same city or in other states with different time zones. Some members are new to the team and are not familiar with your team's processes and standards of working. Employees who are located remotely feel that they are not part of the team. They feel they're not hearing important updates in a timely manner or being included in the decision-making process.

· Scenario Three: You are a member of a collaborative working group in an advertising firm. You attend a meeting with your manager, who is responsible for coordinating and facilitating the meeting. However, they do a poor job of this. The meeting starts late and there is no clear agenda. Your manager does not ask others for their opinions or take their ideas into consideration, and they make jokes about other team members who are not present. At the end of the meeting, the attendees are left feeling frustrated and confused.
