Murphy's Seven C's of Effective Communication - 3 views

  •  
    In researching effective communication for project managers, my team determined that quality communication is a critical component. We reference the book "Effective Business Communications" by Herta Murphy, Herbert Hildebrandt and Jane Thomas. This eHow article summarizes the author's "seven c's" of effective communication directly from the book. These communication skills, both oral and written, are the foundation for helping you express yourself clearly and correctly.

    There is a lot of information on this site! They could use a little help with their web design to make it a little less overwhelming though...
  •  
    I love this approach to communication! I've used in all aspects of my work and personal communications and when I really implement it has really helped me navigate some high conflict situations. It does take practice and is easier to work with if you have others you can engage with to practice the techniques.

    Basic, but sometimes underutilized, steps to better communication via email.

    This one is close to my ll share at work :)
  •  
    Definitely good reminders for the workplace! It reminds me of a coworker who had the "reply all" button removed form their email accounts at her previous company because people just couldn't help themselves from over using it. These are good rules to pass around every once in awhile :).
  •  
    I think we take for granted, because we have all been writing emails for a while, that we know how to make them effective. I would definitely share this at work!

The Project Management Tip You Can't Ignore - The Rapid eLearning Blog - 2 views

  •  
    Interesting article and funny video. Leaves me still agreeing that a good PM app would eliminate 90% of these emails.
  •  
    Managing elearning projects requires good communication between the instructional designers and subject matter experts. In most cases, this communication happens via email. Thus, better email communication ultimately leads to better project management, which most likely means better elearning courses. At a recent ASTD conference, I ran into Mike Song, the author of The Hamster Revolution.

Debra Fine - The Art of Talk - 0 views

  •  
    I'm posting this link to Debra Fine's website. I've read two of her books: "The Fine Art of Small Talk" and "The Fine Art of the Big Talk." While they're not directly about project management, they do relate to the ability to communicate and build relationships both personally and professionally. The content of these two books has helped me build rapport and relationships with teams and stakeholders, open discussions about sensitive topics and project difficulties, and improve my ability to get what I want out of conversations big and small. I would recommend these books to any PM looking to get better at communicating.
  •  
    Debra, that book sounds very useful to integrate EQ with the PM experience.

Managing Multicultural Teams - 1 views

  •  
    Very informative article from the Harvard Business Review. Using many real life examples, this article reviews the problems and solutions to managing a multicultural team. Problems can be overt such as language and accents to something subtle such as how to deal with conflict. Four categories were identified by the researchers that could create barriers to effective teamwork. These categories are direct versus indirect communication; trouble with accents and fluency; differing attitudes toward hierarchy and authority and conflicting norms for decision making.
  •  
    I think that one thing that was interesting is that it stresses being careful in how you establish groups and subgroups otherwise you may see a strengthening of differences. It is something that I see in the classroom all of the time. Kids break up based on common culture, language, or backgrounds.

    I really enjoyed looking around Wiggio. I think I could use this in my classroom as well. I'm looking forward to using this site. :)
  •  
    What I enjoy the most about Wiggio is their ability to send text messages about deadlines for school projects. However, when trying to take full advantage of all their social connectivity components, I found myself running into issues with server lags. I think they probably still need more financial support or stability to increase the efficiency of their services.
  •  
    After using Wiggio for several weeks now, I do like some features, but the number of errors is obnoxious. It really reminds me of when I tried to use Google Wave in its final moments.
