25 Aug Influence of personality and EI in communication
Module 2 Discussion 1: Influence of personality and EI in communication
The purpose of this discussion is to better understand the role that personality and emotional intelligence (EI) can play in effective and not-so-effective communications. Share a link to a video (minimum 5 minutes) or article (minimum 3 pages) that is relevant to the influence of personality and EI on the communication process in the workplace. Especially focus on how to communicate with people who have a personality differences or on how these differences can create conflict and misunderstandings.
Make sure that your source is “authoritative,” meaning it was developed by experts and contains research related to the topic. Article should be at least 3-5 pages; video should be at least 5 minutes. The best place to look is in the SPC online library databases. If you have trouble searching, use the online librarian feature to get help with your search.
Do not use Google (other search engine) to find article/video as the first things that come up in Google are unacceptable sources: blogs, sites selling services and purchase paper sites. Use one reference in addition to selected article/video.
Once you’ve posted the link, explain why you chose the video or article and give a summary of the key points that you found meaningful. Use at least one source in addition to selected article/video. Be sure to properly cite your source and then place the reference at the end of your post, using APA format for both. Original postings should be at least 175 words and include a citation and reference.
View your classmates’ links and posts and replies to at least 3. (Hint: “I agree” does not further the conversation.) Consider the consequences of the content posted or perhaps a new way of applying it, or a counter-argument, etc. Cite sources as appropriate. Peer replies should be at least 75 words. The more you spur others to think deeply about the topics, the better your contribution will be!
