    I tend to agree with Morrison in the article, emojis can definitely be used creatively and are a good way to set the tone of your text message.

    This is very true, emoji can have multiple meanings, an angry face can be seen as playful or serious, and since tone is sometimes hard to distinguish, misunderstanding may occur.
  • mn8082 on 20 Apr 16
     
    Emoticons have a powerful effect on how we receive written information. Emojis are an easy shortcut to communicate informally. This is because the tone of a conversation affects how we react, and because physical cues help set the tone. Furthermore, emojis help bridge the gap between writing and emotion, which is responsible for causing misunderstanding.

    Emoji's are a useful way of reducing the amount of misunderstandings and misinterpretations that can happen online. These misunderstandings happen since we can't hear the tone of the voice or the body language used, therefore emoji's make it a little easier to understand whoever is on the other side.

    It feels like we've reached a point where in some cases, emojis have started to replace altogether, the words we send each other digitally, whether in an email,text messages or facebook.
  • baochau on 13 May 16
     
    I absolutety agree with this article. Emojis has a lot of meaning and really useful, the typical example is that Facebook was updated 5 emoticons next Like button, the symbol of love, haha, surprised, sad and angry. I feel quite excited with the new logo because the Like button has indeed become too boring and there is something wrong when people click on the button Like for a sad status of their friends.

    I hadn't considered that emojis might actually eventually replace words. I've heard people end a joke with the phrase, 'ha ha, smiley face-poo' (which refers to the disappointment of receiving the smiling turd emoji). I think context plays an important part in this though and I can't ever imagine seeing emojis appear in a formal document

    I agree with using emojis to express your feelings or put a message aross

    Being able to listen to your coworkers and managers effectively is a really important skill to have when in the workplace. This article really shows this.

    This article makes an important point about how listening to a teammate describe a challenging situation can strengthen team bonds and improve the efficiency of the group. I hadn't considered that aspect

    Listening to anyone in general is important. Its a sign of respect and understanding what one is trying to put across. Listening to your employees helps strengthen a workplace

    Covey's point about the four responses is very interesting. I think the first point is particularly important (evaluate whether they will agree or disagree) in order to see if there is any chance of communicating with the person effectively at all.
  • ruvy-jc on 27 May 16
     
    I agree with the first point. It evaluates whether the parties agree or disagree in order to see if communication can be effective or not

    This article explains the three roles as communicators that effective leaders would play, and the number of issues they must consider as an infrastructure builder. A great article on how and leaders should effectively communicate.

    After reading the article, i noticed how many things distracts us from being effective listeners. I totally agree and like how they have listed many suggestions on how to become an effective listener, which will improve our very own interpersonal communication skills.
  • breanna1824 on 12 May 16
     
    The article really shows how important it is to listen to your peers and how learning how to really be a good listener will increase your effective communication.
  • baochau on 13 May 16
     
    I really agree with the way show effective of communication in life of this article. Most of us agree that communication skills can be a positive influence to our relationships so we should noticed more some points as depending on the subjects or stituation of communication that you have flexible and appropriate behaviour, do not criticize or strong reaction, etc.
  • adammonkman on 15 May 16
     
    Communication cannot be effective without an attentive listener. In this article, it is highlighted that people should not neglect being a good listener and to not get distracted.
  • nathan100930819 on 15 May 16
     
    This article makes an important point about understanding the intention of the other person we're communicating with. Empathy is an important part of effective communication.

    Do you think you're qualified for a particular job, fit to lead a team, or entitled to a promotion because you have extensive experience and highly developed technical skills? Well, it turns out that while those things are crucial to your professional success, it's imperative that you also have great soft skills-more commonly known as "people skills."

    Great article, I think it is really important for people to have strong people skills in the workplace and agree with the sentiment that having a good "people radar" is something that is difficult to teach where as technical skills can be taught to almost anyone.

  • “It is absolutely critical to be as direct, to the point and concise as possible,” she says, in a lively, forceful voice with a Philadelphia tinge. Vagueness is all too common in the workplace, she observes. Friedman’s fix: follow the newscaster’s drill of spelling out who, what, where, when and why.
  • Your attitude while talking is also important. “It’s not just your words that convey a message,” Friedman says. “It’s all of you.” If you slouch, jam your hands into your pockets, shuffle your feet and avoid eye contact, people will get the impression you don’t want to communicate with them. Pry your eyes and thumbs away from your electronic device, she admonishes. “Pretend that your colleague is your adorable five-year-old who you would drop everything for if she walked into the office,”
  • If you have bad news to deliver, lay it out plainly. It’s difficult to talk about layoffs and belt tightening, but if you’re in a situation where you have to convey that sort of information, your employees and colleagues likely already know something is up. It is far better to be straight with them than not to communicate at all, even if you can’t give them the answers they’d like. Always deliver bad news in person. It may seem easier to convey negative information via e-mail, but imagine how you’d feel if you learned electronically that your best work friend had been sacked, vs. hearing it from another human being.

    Given the title I thought the communication strategy in the article would be quite abrasive however Friedman's strategy seems to be more about being clear and concise in the workplace, respecting your colleagues and giving everyone a chance to have an opinion.
  • baochau on 07 Apr 16
     
    As international student, this article has helped me to understand about Australian workplace communication culture. I argee that it is critical to be as direct and concise because it will save time and avoid confusion or distraction. However, body language is also an important aspect of communication at workplace as they say 30% depends on verbal and 70% is on non-verbal. A friendly non-verbal gesture such as smile or eye-contact, open arms can create a comfortable enviroment between the speakers and the listeners.

    Communicating effectively at work eliminates misunderstanding. Work environments need efficient communication to allow you to achieve more in less time, and in a professional manner.
  • naser01 on 29 Apr 16
     
    It's interesting how this article not just talks about how to communicate effectively in the work place but uses real life example of Karen Friedman's book and how she listed and gave some examples which tend to work more effectively. It was more like a book review.
  • elmeerabezheh on 01 May 16
     
    Effective workplace communication is important in companies with workplace diversity. Good communication skills help to reduce the barriers erected because of language and cultural differences. Companies that provide communication training to domestic and international employees reap the benefits of effective workplace communication.
