What recommendations may you make for effective communication among coworkers who
have contrasting communication styles? Provide specific examples.
The recommendation that I would make for effective communication among co-workers who
have contrasting styles would be to equip each team member with the exact same equipment
(food, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, shovel, etc.) and move the team members to an
outdoor camp sight location such as a wooded area for a minimum of three days. Provide the
basic elements (logs, boards, etc.) necessary to accomplish team building exercises like
fabricating a bridge to cross an otherwise impassable stream built into the daily program.
Each team member must devise a plan to accomplish the team objective. Team members
must reach a majority of votes in deciding which strategy will be used to accomplish the team
objective of crossing the stream. There is a time limit on the decision process. All team
exercises are to observed and evaluated by an impartial observer who nightly discusses each
teams strengths and weaknesses in accomplishing said exercises. In addition, the interaction
of team members in the camp sight area is observed and evaluated.
The idea behind the rural camp sight location and the team exercise format is to remove team
members from their "comfort zone" and make each member interact and rely on other team
members. The nightly evaluations and team discussion strengthens team member alliance.
This team building exercise was used when I went to basic training in the military. We had
guys from all over the US from diverse backgrounds. Inner-city guys, farm boys, college
dropouts, and everything in between. We all had contrasting communication styles. Mostly,
hard ass. But, we did work effectively as a team. Our interpersonal bond grew as we
discovered that despite our individual strengths and weaknesses that we could rely on each
other to succeed as a team.
