Assignment 1.1: Communication Process Model
Misunderstanding # 1
1. Who was the sender? The Sender of the message was 1st Sergeant Correa (Manager)
2. Who was the receiver? The receiver of the message was myself (Tamarr McKay)
3. What was the message? The 1st Sergeant did not care about the circumstances that lead to my Corporal (Subordinate) submitting his leave request late; nor was he concerned with the reasons why the Corporal needed to take leave.
4. What channel was used to send the message? The 1st Sergeant and I had this conversation via the telephone.
5. What was the misunderstanding that occurred? The 1st Sergeant was under the assumption that he had included me on his emails with his requirements for personnel submitting for leave. I did not receive any such email thus; the Corporal didn’t know he had to meet these requirements.
6. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? The misunderstanding could’ve been avoided had the 1st Sergeant added me to his email distribution list as I requested several time. Also, had he taken the time to look at the time/date the request was submitted, he would’ve noticed that I was on leave during that said period. I returned from leave the day prior to the Corporal commencing his leave.
===================================================================== 1. What did you learn about the communication process from this activity? I learned that communication is a two way street. Both parties must be committed to simultaneously being a sender and a receiver for it to be successful. If one party is sending but not receiving, while the other is trying to send, miscommunication or misunderstanding will occur.
2. What seemed to be the main cause of the misunderstanding? The 1st Sergeant thought that I failed in my duties to have my Marine do something that he (1st Sergeant) wanted done.
