Communicating Cooperatively In The Workplace Help Card

Poor communication habits in the office can directly escalate into conflict. When confrontational language is used people feel threatened and often get defensive and may 'fight back', using words and tone of voice to communicate their displeasure at the verbal confrontation. Cooperative communication, according to Bacal & Associates has many attributes that are missing in confrontational communication.

Available in E-version instant delivery version and in traditional book format sent in regular post.

The Communicating Cooperatively In The Workplace Helpcard was designed to aid anyone who must interface with others in their workplace. If you find your employees or bosses in a constant state of contention, check out their language. Is it conducive to harmony or conflict? You can tell if the general communication style at your place of work contributes to hostility by the number of blaming statements that you hear. Are there many people that spend alot of time trying to prove others wrong? In meetings do you hear the words, "should" or "must" frequently? If your answer is yes to these questions, you know that your workplace is a worksite full of conflict and contest.

Our help card will show you samples of both confrontational and cooperative language. You will also learn about absolutes and how to avoid them. The card also shows you how to replace blaming statements with statements that show your interest in team work and collaboration. There are many other confrontational statements discussed that will turn your communication style into one that hightlights points of agreement rather than spotlighting points of contention.

Your choice of words say a lot about you and how willing you are to succeed at your place of business and to get the job well done without conflict or hostility.

If you recognize that some of your employees could use help with their communication skills, this card is a valuable starting point for your discussion. This card can also be used as a handout by communication seminar leaders.
