Description
You have read the first two chapters of Communicating at Work. Now, write a five-page, double-spaced report that includes the following two parts:
A brief description of where you work and what you do. Be sure to describe the physical setting of your workplace and any distinguishing features of the setting.
Then, describe the organizational culture of your workplace, including such factors as sociability, power distribution, and job autonomy; degree of structure; achievement rewards; opportunities for growth; tolerance for risk and change; conflict tolerance; and emotional support.
On the basis of your findings from the previous steps, describe the optimal way to communicate in your workplace. This could be, but does not have to be, what is occurring now. Simply put, you are asked to describe briefly what you consider to be the best way to communicate, given your work culture.
