Hi all,

Communication is “is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup, organizational, or external levels”. (website). Today I will discuss about the type of communication that we share with our mentor. I have been observing my mentor since we started the WP.

We have been discussing with him about issues concerned the Training Department such as lack of staff, technology which can lead to difficulties as being an effective section in the organization. I noticed my mentor is an open-minded person who accepts ideas and suggestions. He also clarified his point of view politely with us and he considered our suggestions for future actions to be taken.

Another point I liked about our mentor’s behavior is he gave us the correct tasks with the detailed information to do for the department which were related to our studies as ED.Tech students. Furthermore, our mentor is a supportive manager who helped us to get a PC to solve the Articulate Engage problem and he also updated with us about the work that we done at the end of each day. I might think working with him as an Educational Technologist in the future. 🙂

To sum up, I learned that effective communication between staff and their managers can strengthen their professional relationship and motivate the staff to be productive.
