A major component in effective leadership is the implementation of appropriate communication strategies. In the case study, Williams concludes that he must change the way he communicates to improve employee satisfaction. In order to become an effective leader, Williams must apply and practice three important communication strategies at his public relations firm. First, he must expand outside of his comfort zone and begin having regularly scheduled meetings to communicate new agenda and/or problems that occur. Next, he must begin to craft his communications with the business to contain why an action is being taken as well as what that action will be. Thirdly, Williams must adopt more effective avenues of communication to effectively lead his …show more content…
Weekly, biweekly, or even monthly scheduled team meetings provide many benefits to both managers and employees. For example, regularly scheduled meetings produce higher productivity due to fewer interruptions between meetings (Theisen, n.d.). They also allow risks and concerns to be raised to both the team and the managers. In Ben Williams’ case, he sees a pattern occur when the staff are not all on the same page when it comes to projects. Perhaps this is because Williams doesn’t believe in meetings being effective and only communicates to the staff when a change is needed. By introducing regularly scheduled meetings, William can better communicate what is currently going on in the firm as well as any changes that are taking place. His staff can voice issues and raise concerns during this time to create better organization in their teams and improve …show more content…
He has decided to make some changes in the way that communication occurs in the office in order to improve employee satisfaction with company leadership. After an analysis of his current communication practices, it is clear that he could implement three important changes to improve results. First, he must begin having regularly scheduled meetings. Next, he must package his communications with the business to include why an action is being taken as well as what that action will be. Thirdly, Williams must adopt more effective avenues of communication, such as electronic mail, to effectively lead his staff. If Williams can successfully apply and practice these three communication strategies, he will become more effective as a leader and there is a greater chance that employee satisfaction will
In an evolving culture of dedication and communication, employees know desire up-to-date and precise information. Efficient communication enables employees to adapt because they have the needed information available (Smith & Milligan, 2015). This strategy will be more effectual because companies that can align individual and corporate goals will experience more prosperity. To achieve this aim, Jeffers needs to commit to becoming an exceptional communicator, otherwise leading effectively is unfeasible and he will continue to experience organizational culture
A 12 year old stole money from a lady’s wallet that was stored in a locker at the time it was taken. Samuel Winship, the defendant was charged with an act of delinquency. If Samuel was charged as an adult the crime would have be larceny. A New York Family court judge convicted Samuel on a preponderance of evidence, which at the time was all that was necessary according to New York State Statute. At the time of the trial a juvenile in the state of New York was at least seven years old, but younger than 16. Samuel was 12, which by law made him a juvenile that could be charged with an act of delinquency.

Ever since his debut start as the talented quarterback for the Pittsburg Steelers in 2004, Ben Roethlisberger, known to the terrible towel waving fans as “Big Ben,” has continued to inflict pain on his adversaries on and off the field. Known for his less than gentlemanly behavior, Roethlisberger has consistently maintained an unpolished image, reminiscent of the many players on the Oakland Raiders’ teams throughout the 1980’s, who looked to intimidate and scare individuals through their actions. Throughout his eight year career, Roethlisberger has amassed two Super Bowl titles, but he has also been accused of two incidents of sexual assault as well as many noted allegations of unsavory comments, usually directed towards women in an unflattering manner. As a professional football player, Roethlisberger has sustained a number of blows to the head, but in 2006, he was involved in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing any protective headgear. Due to such head trauma, it has been speculated that his crass, and sometimes violent behavior, could be attributed to the consistent damage to his brain. I believe that doctors and fans are correct in their belief that Roethlisberger has been greatly affected by his consistent head trauma, and I believe that science and observation upholds this belief.

The next kind of communication I would like to cover is upward communication. This is when employees send a message threw the chain of command, to the managers. This type of communication is very good for employees because they feel they are being noticed in the organization. Managers also benefit from this because they learn more about the organization.
