MANAGING GROUPS AND TEAMS
Take the attached Communication Climate Inventory.
Communication is the grease which makes relationships in organizations run smoothly, and by extension, directly affects the effectiveness of the organization itself. Communication climate refers to the mood or tone of interpersonal communications and determines in great part how people feel about each other and how they carry out their work activities. Thus, communication climate has a great deal of influence over the organizational climate or general atmosphere of the work environment. Read the following blog about what it is like to work in a defensive climate:
Dukes, A.J. (2012). Defensive v Supportive Climates in the Workplace. Retrieved from <>
As you can see from this blog entry, defensive climates create a situation where employees do not raise work concerns or communicate their needs. They are careful about what they say and guard their opinions. Frequently they exhibit low motivation.
Supportive climates, on the other hand, encourage employee participation and engagement, an open exchange of information, and constructive conflict. Employees who work in supportive environments often exhibit greater organizational commitment.
1) describing the climate in your organization
2) Is the climate supportive or defensive? Does this align with the results of your Communication Climate Inventory?
3) How does the communication climate affect motivation and organizational/team commitment?
4) How could you improve the communication climate in your organization, department, or team?
5) What communication skills would you like to learn or improve on in order to create a supportive communication climate?

As military leaders how do you foster an environment of inclusion which values mentorship of diverse populations to include women minorities LGBTQ

Mentorship of Diverse Populations

Consider the following quote, “Recognition of the value of understanding how bias and stereotypes affect working relationships, educating leaders on how men and women may lead differently, and educating men on how to mentor women may serve to increase performance and improve the integration of women into military units” (Segal,et al., 2016, p. 38).

Now respond to the following:

As military leaders, how do you foster an environment of inclusion which values mentorship of diverse populations to include women, minorities, LGBTQ, and other underrepresented populations?
Discuss how you propose addressing this type of mentorship within your units. How does your approach or lack thereof have long lasting implications for unit cohesion and readiness?
In response to your fellow classmates, please ensure that you consider the challenges they may face and offer potential solutions for navigating such challenges.

Each organization has its own background perceptions ethics values  history and ambitions

Each organization has its own background perceptions, ethics, values, history, and ambitions. Therefore, a “one size fits all” change management process may not work in every organization. We must assess and adapt our process to fit the backgrounds and philosophies of each organization.
Given this understanding, we need to research and assess when, and if, an organization is ready for change, and then adopt a process to best facilitate the change process. Choose a Middle Eastern organization at which you are currently working or one in which you are familiar. (If neither is possible, conduct an internet search to identify a Middle Eastern organization which has gone through a transformation process within the last three years.) Then address the following:
Provide a brief summary of the organization (its history, culture, industry, product, and services).
Explain why a change was needed. What is the gap between the present state and the desired future state?
How strong is the need for change?
What is the source of this need? Is it external to the organization?
If the change does not occur, what will be the impact on the organization in the next two to six years?
Explain the change process that was created and implemented, identify the outcome of the change in terms of success, failures, cultural outcomes, and human resource changes.
Finally, based on what you have learned thus far in the course, evaluate the company’s readiness for change and then offer constructive advice on strategies the organization may/should have considered to create/implement a more successful change process.
Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.

Research Abstract Rewarding the Champions

In addition to setting goals, rewards are a powerful motivator. When an employee sees others receiving recognition, he feels compelled to work harder and achieve his own recognition. According to a study by the Aberdeen Group, 60 percent of Best-in-Class organizations rated employee recognition as “extremely valuable” in driving individual performance.
If an employee is consistently meeting goals, earning accolades from patients and their families, offering genuine emotional support, focusing on patient comfort and ensuring patients are fully educated before leaving the hospital, make an example of her!
