This style of leadership would be bet suited to new team members and also to existing team members that need close and continual management they require a great deal of supervision and guidance to enable us to meet SLA’s and KPI’s Although this style can be seen by some as a heavy handed, almost as a military approach to leadership, it is necessary. The individual is not placed under any pressure to get things right from the outset. They will hopefully understand that they require additional support and guidance, while they are learning a new role and are able to begin to develop a relationship with the other team members.

2) Explain ways of making contributions to discussions that help to move them forward In order for any contribution to help move a discussion forward, it must be relevant to the discussion. You must listen to what is being said and only put your point across if it is valid. Do not be afraid to disagree but do so politely; and the same applies if someone disagrees with you. Also, always be aware of body language, you must be open so as not to look confrontational. You do not wish to take over the discussion as everyone’s opinion is valid, and you can learn a lot from the views of others.
They Say I Say - Ch.1 Rhetorical Analysis The thesis presented by the author was that for a person to give writing a point, the writer has to clearly indicate what they are responding to and not only what his or her opinion/view is. Also, the author persuades writers about how to properly speak/write in order. The entire point of “they say, i say” is to make sure the audience knows not only what you are saying, but what others are saying. The target audience is beginner writers and/or speakers. The author makes sure to point out easy step by step instructions and tips for those who don’t quite know how to properly write.
The basic communication principle I apply to my personal life experience is knowing my audience and communicating a little at a time. I believe by knowing and interacting with a person before I just say what’s on my mind.I believe by knowing the person’s attitude and belief will help me be better prepared to answer questions they might want to ask me whenever we strike up a conversation. I also feel the results these results are a accurate description of my personality and communication style. I am a introverted person and I see this plays a factor when I talk to strangers. Yet, I do know how important and how good it can feel to connect with someone new.
I can recall situations where I was friendly and was being able to sustain a healthy relationship with friends and coordinates; I wasn’t able to support them fully. I do always value feedback, but always the positive one. I think what limits me is that I need to learn negative feedback as well. That may help me improve much more. What limits my score is also, I have always felt uncomfortable sharing my feelings with others.
We tend to take the story to heart more when it is written in this point of view. This is effective because writing in first person made you feel like there actually is a problem and it needs to be fixed. The author does this in order to get the reader to side with him, and what he is trying to
Communication is Key Paulo Freire’s wrote about how both students and teachers need to communicate more in order to improve the quality of learning environment. This excerpt also seems to be directed towards all teachers. “Education is suffering from narration sickness.” (Para 1) Freire gets straight to the point with that sentence as his thesis statement. He explains how teachers are “motionless” and that they need to spice up their teaching style. Good communication is the way to resolve issues with the way students are being taught.
Knoblauch admits that literacy is a necessary aspect to modern society, but warns the reader how educators and other citizens must be aware of the power literacy holds and not to be “blinded by the the light of their own benevolence”, (Knoblauch 452). Tannen also believes that power lies in the educational system itself, but focuses on the style of learning being taught to the students. Tannen discusses the style of education that teaches students that power lies in debate and arguments. For example, “”students are taught that they must disprove others’ arguments in order to be original, make a contribution, and demonstrate their intellectual ability”, (Tannen 546).
