Interpersonal Communications Unit Assignment, communications homework help

I would appreciate help with my Interpersonal Communications assignment.

Instructions

View the video, Alan O’Connor, Manager . Use the concepts in Unit 6 as you respond to the questions on effective listening strategies. You can also read a transcript of the video.

Questions:

  1. From the interaction does it seem to you that Alan is actively listening? Why or why not?

  3. How might issues of diversity and multiculturalism impact Alan’s listening skills? How might this impact his organization?
  4. Using the effective listening guidelines in the text, make three suggestions that would allow Alan to fulfill his responsibility to provide employees with critical feedback about performance and to establish a supportive climate.
  5. What suggestions would you give Alan about how to start interviews in ways that establish a supportive environment for interaction?
