EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

Working with Others

Often, it’s hard to gather the facts, clarify expectations, present information, and work together with others in varied interpersonal interactions at work. Simple things are often overlooked, like active listening and questioning, mutual problem solving, outside influences, interacting assertively or passively, and cultural barriers.
