COM 600 Module Eight Journal Guidelines and Rubric
A journal entry is designed as an opportunity for students to synthesize what they have learned about a particular course element. In this assignment, the student is showing the ability to make distinctions between effective and ineffective ways for leaders to interact with their employees.
Specifically, the entry should address the importance of effective communication from leader to employee. What impact can ineffective communication in this area have on an organization?
Students should look for opportunities for critical analysis of the communications process as well as how systems theory frames those arguments.
The journal entry should be drawn from the specific readings in the module resources and must include the following:
The strengths and weaknesses of the communications process between employee and manager
The impact of ineffective communications by company leaders to subordinates and the resulting impact of those communications on overall company goals and strategies
Recommendations for company leaders to create best practices for effective organizational communications decisions involving subordinates
