COM 425 Week 2 DQ 1 Self-Assessment of
Organizational Communication Skills   Self-Assessm
ent of Organizational Communication Skills. Many
people believe that organizational communication
skills should come naturally and are not
difficult to obtain. However, this weeks
readings might have given you a different
perception. Effective organizational
communication skills actually require a lot of
time and practice. Complete a self-assessment of
your organizational communication skills by
answering the following questions a. Which
area(s) do you feel are the most developed for
you? b. Which area(s) do you need the most
improvement?

COM 425 Week 2 DQ 2 Using Active
Listening   Using Active Listening. One of the
most effective ways that we can improve our
communication within the organizational context
is through adapting the language that we use. A
simple, yet effective way to do this is through
the method that your textbook describes as
active listening. This strategy is explained in
Chapter Four of your textbook. Describe a time
when you were trying to communicate with another
person and active listening would have been
helpful. What was the situation? How did he/she
respond? How did you respond? What could you have
done to improve the communication?

COM 425 Week 3 DQ 1 Your Culture Creates
Organizational Culture   Your Culture Creates
Organizational Culture. Some students think that
they do not have much of a culture at their
organization. The truth is that every
organization has a culture! Your organizational
culture can be related to the way that employees
dress, the way that they communicate, or even how
they decorate their work environment. An
organizational culture is often formed through
the many different people that make up the
company. These diverse traits may be your race,
ethnicity, gender, age, nationality, religion,
sexual orientation, ability, etc. Take some time
to think about your own cultural background and
how this can add to your work culture

COM 425 Week 4 DQ 1 Barriers to Organizational
Development   Barriers to Organizational
Development. In Chapter Nine of your textbook,
the author discusses the concept of
organizational development. Although
organizational development can be an effective
way for companies to remain competitive, only
about two-thirds of change efforts are actually
successful. Why do you believe organizational
development is so difficult? Think of a barrier
to organizational development that you have
personally experienced as an employee or that
stands out to you as being common. Explain why
you believe this barrier is challenging for

Organizations   Mediated Communication in
Organizations. Mediated communication and social

internally. As we have learned this week,
communicating through electronic media is
referred to as mediated communication. There are
pros and cons to using mediated communication in
the work environment. How do you believe mediated
communication has improved organizational
communication? How has it hurt organizational
communication? Provide examples to illustrate
