Question Number 4
4. What is groupthink, and how can it be avoided?
Groupthink is when people agree with each other to maintain the status quo to support a decision result but the decision-making process is too quickly and it is not a right decision or outcome.
To avoid Groupthink, it is important to have a process for checking the assumptions behind the decisions, for validating the decision-making process and they can encourage open discussion, search for relevant information, evaluate many alternatives, consider how a decision will be implemented, and a plan if in this case the decision doesn’t work out.

Question number 14
Compare and contrast examples of professional and unprofessional
behavior in regard to workplace speech habits and e-mail.
Answer
Unprofessional :
- Speech Habits : Speaking in uptalk, a singsong speech
pattern that has a rising inflection, making
sentences sound like questions; using like
to fill in mindless chatter; substituting go
for said; relying on slang; or letting poor
grammar and profanity slip into your
conversation.
- E-mail : Writing messages with incomplete
sentences, misspelled words, exclamation
points, IM slang, and senseless chatting.
Sloppy, careless messages send a nonverbal
message that you don’t care, don’t know, or
aren’t smart enough to know what is correct.
Professional :
- Speech Habits : Recognizing that your credibility can be
seriously damaged by sounding uneducated,
crude, or adolescent.
- E-mail : Employers like to see subjects, verbs, and
punctuation marks. They don’t recognize IM
abbreviations. Call it crazy, but they value
conciseness and correct spelling, even in
brief e-mail messages.

Question number 11 :
What are ten technique for improving workplace listening? be prepare to describe each.
1. Clear & Direct. Be certain the information need to convey whether it is spoken or written is clear and directly communicated. Use language that is specific and unambiguous. Check that the receiver understands the message as you intended.
2. Actively Listen. Becoming an active listener means make a conscious effort to truly hear what the other person is saying in their words as well as their body language. Practice holding off thinking about how to respond or interrupting until have thoroughly heard what they are saying.
3. Paraphrase. The goal of paraphrasing is to ensure are clear about what has been said and let the speaker know that care about what he or she is communicating. Both are equally important in effective communication.
4. Face-to-Face. Whenever have difficult information to convey or something that could result in many questions, choose to have a direct face-to-face conversation.Also have the huge benefit of non-verbal communication cues including tone of voice, facial expressions and other body language.
5. Be Respectful. This means using the other person’s name, looking them in the eye, and nodding to aid in demonstrating understand what they are saying. If are communicating in writing, reread before sending your message to ensure that it could not be misinterpreted or taken as disrespectful.
6. Message & Medium. Some of us are better communicating in writing and some are better at speaking. Some of us are better reading information and some at listening to information. In most cases, it depends on the message being delivered and received.
7. Conversation to Audience. Communicating with boss, co-worker, customer or supplier may require a slightly different style. With boss, be careful to pick the right time, and ask for what need and what expect they can reasonably deliver. For a co-worker, be direct, transparent, and open-minded.
8. Effective Texting. More and more of our workplace communication is done via email, voice mail and text messaging. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these, depending on the message and the audience. Texting can be especially effective when a quick question or answer is required without further explanation or repeated follow up,
9. Make the Most of Meetings. Way too many of us spend time in meetings that are unproductive and often unnecessary. Demand that those calling a meeting provide an agenda, hold to the appointed start and end time, and have only the right people in attendance. Ensure that the work done in the meeting warrants the time and resources taken away from those working independently.
10. Stay Positive. Regardless of the conversation, try to keep it positive. Even the harshest feedback can and should be delivered in a positive, supportive, team-centric manner. Stay focused on behavior or performance and not character. When you are on the receiving end, avoid getting triggered by difficult messages. Keep in mind the bigger picture and the long term implications.

Question Number 11
What are ten techniques for improving workplace listening? Be prepared to describe each.
Answer :
a. Control external and internal distractions
Move to an area where you can hear without conflicting noises or conversations. Block out surrounding physical distractions. Internally, try to focus totally on the speaker.
b. Become actively involved
Show that you are listening closely by leaning forward and maintaining eye contact with the speaker. Don’t fidget or try to complete another task at the same time you are listening. Listen to more than the spoken words. How are they said ? What implied meaning, reasoning, and feelings do you hear behind the spoken words ?
c. Separate facts from opinions
Facts are truths known to exist. Opinions are statements of personal judgments or preferences. Good listeners consider whether speakers are credible and speaking within their areas of competence. They do not automatically accept assertions as facts.
d. Identify important facts
Speakers on the job often intersperse critical information with casual conversation. Your task is to select what’s important and register it mentally. What step is next in your project? Who does what? What is your role ?
e. Avoid interrupting
While someone else has the floor, do not interrupt with a quick reply or opinion. And don’t show nonverbal disagreement such as negative head shaking, rolling eyes, sarcastic snorting, or audible sighs. Good listeners let speakers have their say. Interruptions are not only impolite, but they also prevent you from hearing the speaker’s complete thought. Listeners who interrupt with their opinions sidetrack discussions and cause hard feelings.
f. Ask clarifying questions
Good listeners wait for the proper moment and then ask questions that do not attack the speaker. Use open questions (those without set answers) to draw out feelings, motivations, ideas, and suggestions. Use closed fact-finding questions to identify key factors in a discussion.
g. Paraphrase to increase understanding
To ensure that you understand the speaker, repeat and summarize the message in your own words. Be objective and non-judgmental. Because your goal is to understand what the speaker is saying and to benefit from a clear summary of what was said.
h. Capitalize on lag time
Use lag time to silently rephrase and summarize the speaker’s message. Another effective trick for keeping your mind from drifting is to try to guess what a speaker’s next point will be. Most important, keep your mind focused on the speaker and his or her ideas—not on all the other work waiting for you.
i. Take notes to ensure retention
Make a note if you do not trust your memory or your memory has a forgetful nature. And make sure you have a good place to keep a record of the various projects, such as file folders, notebook, computer or files.
j. Be aware of gender differences
Men tend to use conversation disruptive behavior, while women generally disturbing to communicate approval, outlines the ideas of other group members, or to participate in the subject. Recognizing this trend will make you become more sensitive listener and knowledgeable.

According to experts, we ignore, forget, distort, or misunderstand 75 percent of everything we hear. Why are we such poor listeners?
Answer
Poor listening habits may result from several factors. Less of training is one significant factor. Our listening skills may be less than perfect because of the large number of competing sounds and stimuli in our lives that interfere with concentration, such as mobile phones ringing, roaring cars on the highway or the number of tasks that haven’t been resolved, that make we can’t focus on listening. Concentration can also be disturbed by hearing the many foreign terms are new or unknown that makes us lazy to listen well. Other causes are from physical conditions such as feeling unwell. Lack of respect for other people who are talking and prejudice to others also makes us not able to catch what the speaker is saying, so we just took up most of what we can hear.

Answer :
Groupthink is a faulty decision-making processes by team members who are overly eager to agree with one another.

Question number 11 :
What are ten techniques for improving workplace listening? Be prepared to describe each.
Answer :
1. Control External and Internal Distractions
In this first key,you must move to an area where you can hear without conflicting noses or conversation. block all the distraction that arise from internal and external that will be disturb you to get full information from the sender,trying to focus totally on the speaker.
2. Become actively involved
show that you are listening closely by leaning forward and maintaining eye contact with the speaker. Don't try to do other activities at the same time you are listening. you must pay attention to the speaker see does the speaker's body language support the main message or no.
3.Separate facts from opinions.
Facts are truths known to exist, and opinons are statements of personal judgement or preferences . in this point, listeners must consider the information they got. don't fast to believe the information,but evaluate does the speakers are credible to the area of competence to the information that he/she has been said. don't automically accept assertions as facts.
4. Identify important facts
Speakers on the job often intersperse critical information with casual conversation. Your task is to select what’s important and register it mentally. What step is next in your project? Who does what? What is your role ?
5.Avoid interrupting.
while speakers is giving information, don't interrupt with a quick reply or opinion. and never show your nonverbal disagreement such as negative head shaking,rolling eyes,sarcastic snorting, or audible sighs. good listeners let speakers have their say.interruptions are not only impolite, but they also prevent you from hearing the speaker's compleate thought. listeners who interrupt with their opinins sidetrack discussion and cause hard feelings.
6. Ask Clarifying questions
good listeners wait for the proper moment and then ask question that don't attack the speaker.Use open questions (those without set answers) to draw out feelings, motivations, ideas, and suggestions. Use closed fact-finding questions to identify key factors in a discussion.
7. Paraphrase to increase understanding
To ensure that you understand the speaker, repeat and summarize the message in your own words. Be objective and non-judgmental. Because listeners goal is to understand what the speaker is saying and to benefit from a clear summary of what was said.
8. Capitalize on lag time
while you are waiting for speaker's next idea,use the time to review what the speaker is saying. separate the central idea,key points,and details.Use lag time to silently rephrase and summarize the speaker’s message. Another effective trick for keeping your mind from drifting is to try to guess what a speaker’s next point will be. Most important, keep your mind focused on the speaker and his or her ideas—not on all the other work waiting for you.
9.Take notes to ensure the retention.
make a notes when you got information from the speaker's,don't just depend on your memory. summarize the information you got an write down to the paper. you can also making notes in laptop,notebooks.

There are seven reason that explain it, such as....
* Better decisions= Decisions are generally more accurate and effective because group members contribute different expertise and perspectives.
* Faster response= When action is necessary to respond to competition or to solve a problem, small groups and teams can act rapidly.
* Increased productivity= Because they are often closer to the action and to the customer, team members can see opportunities for improving efficiency.
* Greater buy-in= Decisions arrived at jointly are usually better received because members are committed to the solution and are more willing to support it.
* Less resistance to change= People who have input into decisions are less hostile, aggressive, and resistant to change.
* Improved employee morale= Personal satisfaction and job morale increase when teams are successful.
* Reduced risks= Responsibility for a decision is diffused, thus carrying less risk for any individual.

Question Number 3 :
Compare and contrast positive and negative team behavior.
Positive behavior is the most effective groups have members who are willing to establish rules and abide by them. Effective team members are able to analyze tasks and define problems so that they can work toward solutions. They offer information and try out their ideas on the group to stimulate discussion. They show interest in others’ ideas by listening actively. Helpful team members also seek to involve silent members. They help to resolve differences, and they encourage a warm, supportive climate by praising and agreeing with others. When they sense that agreement is near, they review significant points and move the group toward its goal by synthesizing points of understanding.
While negative behavior is shown by those who constantly put down the ideas and suggestions of others. They insult, criticize, and aggress against others. They waste the group’s time with unnecessary recounting of personal achievements or irrelevant topics. The team clown distracts the group with excessive joke-telling, inappropriate comments, and disruptive antics. Also disturbing are team members
who withdraw and refuse to be drawn out. They have nothing to say, either for or against ideas being considered.
Thank you.
