communication is key
I’m not sure how many times I could stress that communication is one of the main building blocks for an organization, a friendship, basically anything in my opinion. It is with communication that new ideas and opinions are expressed which in turn carries through to accomplishing goals and overall agreement. I think that one of the things that keeps me from communicating well is getting within my own head. At times I think that what I have to say isn’t important or I think that I don’t have the right words to express how I am feeling so I say nothing instead. Communication is also halted if the environment is closed off and the person in which you are communicating is intimidating and closed off. Personally, I think it is just a matter of practice and self talk that implements positive thoughts about communicating how I feel. When I communicate well the problem always seems to find a quicker solution or I feel better about how I feel. So it doesn’t quite make sense that I don’t want to voice my thoughts. Although practice makes perfect, I could definitely use more practice.
Within my specific organization as myself it can be difficult to utilize teams, so in that extent it doesn’t really apply, but I value teams greatly when being apart of them, I think it is important to be able to work in a team, and to work effectively. I have realized more than once, that I cannot always accomplish everything I want on my own. It is then that I have to take advantage of the team that I have built into my organization, my family and friends. I think that is important to remember the value of team members when it comes to being apart of a team and leading one. It is also important to understand the different dynamics of the team and build off of those. It is only then that the team can be maximized to its full potential, in my opinion at least.
