OUR LEADER AND COMMUNICATION AND CONFLICT

This week you explore the communication style of your leader and how your leader has used communication, among other tools, to manage conflict. Using Chapter 11, determine the primary means of communication used by your leader. Was your leader an effective communicator and mediator? Find an example of conflict (Chapter 14) your leader dealt with and use the course concepts to judge its results. Was your leader effective in conflict management? Explain your answer using concepts from this chapter.

Be sure to use actual examples from the literature and cite your sources appropriately. Be sure to include extensive research outside the textbook and also to cite the textbook correctly including page numbers. You are expected to use at least two academic or business sources other than your textbook each week.

Be sure your first post each week directly addresses the prompt above. Your remaining posts should continue to further the depth and breadth of the discussion by responding to your professor or classmates.
