Ashford University Wk 8 Crisis Communication Discussion
Week 8 Discussion 2: Peer Feedback: Communication Portfolio
This week will be your final peer review in which you will continue to envision yourself in a specific role and you will provide feedback through that lens. This involves giving and receiving input regarding the feedback to your course work from your peers. Each week, you will upload your portfolio element completed the week before to the weekly discussion board. You will then become part of a scenario, in which you will be asked to provide constructive feedback to your peers, reflect on what you have learned in the process about the portfolio element, and what you have learned that will help you further improve your own work. Be sure to take time during and after the discussion to reflect on the process and the feedback you gave and received. Also, review the feedback that others provided to your peers for input that might help you further improve your own portfolio element.
Revisiting the scenario, you realize that having to communicate to the team about not receiving a raise is a daunting task. Not only is it bad news, but you fear losing some credibility as a leader and manager. You are seeking the advice of one of your peers before presenting to your direct reports.
Review at least two of your peers’ Bad News Messages and provide feedback using the scenario presented.
Respond to at least two of your peers’ posts in ALL THE following manner:
- Discuss the effectiveness of the message and communication strategy.
- Provide specific feedback with regard to the content of the opening statement. Look for ambiguous language.
- Describe the types of feedback the message will receive and suggest modification to improve message clarity.
- Assume the role of the employee and briefly discuss a strategy to communicate upward with your boss regarding the situation.
General Guidance: Your Communication Portfolio Assignment must be submitted by Day 3. Your peer feedback, due on Day 7, will typically be 5 or 7 full paragraphs EACH in length, as a general expectation/estimate.
Refer to the Week 8 Discussion 2 Rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your instructor will use the rubric to assess your peer feedback.
