I recently had a disagreement with my dad for treating my younger brother not fairly. My dad thinks that my younger brother is not responsible and doesn’t care about saving his money. I have heard my dad screaming at him and telling him that he needs to grow up. Based on the conflict resolution that we studied this week communication climate is important is how we talk to one another. In this case, my dad is not showing empathy to my brother while communicating with him. He needs to understand his feeling and try to solve his issue with him differently and understanding his point of view. In this case the  three R’s, which is consist, of Respectful, Reciprocal, and Responsive, building positive interactions to promote effective relationships. Its important for my dad and brother to understand about the three Rs. This would positively impact communication because we must first respect others and our differences. The respect needs to be reciprocated between people. Reciprocating respect allows relationships to develop by effectively learning about each other and developing trust. Responsiveness shows that the person communicating is listening to each other (Chesire, 2007).

    Hello Naire. I totally agree with you. I have never been a fan of communicating through yelling. I think you gave your father excellent advice. To effectively communicate, everyone needs to show respect and promote positive interactions with each other. I believe by implementing the 3R's, this will happen. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hello Naire,

    I can see why you had a disagreement with your father. Sometimes in the midst of a conflict, we do not stop to think of all insider and outsider perspectives. He may not have thought about how you view his yelling at your brother or your feelings about it. That is nice that you stood up for your brother. Maybe he will be more gentle with him. I can definitely relate to your issue because my parents also frequently have talks with my brother about responsibility and saving money. Hopefully you can inform your father about different conflict resolution strategies and he can find more effective ways to communicate with your brother. Good luck with your situation. Thank you for sharing your story.

Based on my pervious experiences with working with different groups to achieve common goal, the high performing teams are harder to leave because high performing teams share common vision, goals and stand strong together towards challenges to achieve the desire goal. Its also hard to loose people that you established clear     get attached to and share common vision. When there is a clear norm, Team relationships will be better and they respect and trust each other and the team stays focused on the vision. Team members become more flexible and interdependent on each other and communication improves. I mentioned in the discussion post about the great teamwork I experienced when I was the maid of honor of my friend.   Planning her bridal shower with the bridesmaids is a great example of teamwork. We all worked towards one goal and to make the bride happy and making sure everything goes smooth. As a maid of honor, I wanted to make sure establishing a good relationship with ...
