Effective
Communication:
In the email the first statement is not clears
concisely understandable. Wordy, yet clear about what is needed and how it affect
all parties included. The voicemail is clear
and easier to listen to what is said vs seeing and reading the email. Written
communication skills are a major factor in effective written communication. Voicemail
attitude and tonality expresses the need in a polite respectful but important
manner. They both are documented communication. Mental documentation takes
place in the face to face, unless there is recorded documentation to follow. In
the F2f meeting spirit and attitude, tonality and body language improve the
message. Facial expression and language are used is effectively communicated to
express the needs of the requestor. Spirit, attitude and tonality are
effectively communicated in all cases but the auditory and visuals enhance the
message.
Working with team
members effectively one must be able to create open dialogue that suits team member’s
needs. After all “communication is not just the words” (Stolovitch). The Art of
Effective Communication multimedia resource shows that each for can be
effective. Some are more effective than the other depending on the situation.
Some things that can emphasize urgency in the email is increasing the priority
of importance and requesting a read receipt. Also the voicemail may or may not
get checked, but in the case of the face to face meeting, the face off takes
place to see if desired result happen or not.

Justin after reading your post, I’m still not sure which modality of communication you feel is the most effective. You made valid commentary on the three modes in which we were to interpret, but you didn’t provide an insight on which you think is the most effective.
ReplyDeleteWhich modality do you think is most effective?

face to face is most effective if face to face is possible. Email would be the next best option depending on the user's ability to communicate effectively through this medium.

Hi Justin,
ReplyDeleteYou make an important observation about voicemail: How can you be sure it was received or heard? I know voicemails often sneak onto my phone without me noticing them right away. When face-to-face isn’t possible, as in my case as a remote worker, I think it is always wise to follow up with a different medium if a response is not received in a reasonable time.
