Hey guy, this is Corey, Wassup.
Did you know that communication is dynamic, reciprocal, and is also a process?
And if we hold this as true, we must therefore understand that communication (in general) must be a two way occurrence, meaning it must go from one persons (intelligence) to another person (intelligence) and back and forth again until shared meaning (understanding) is acquired.
Simply put, If you are in the work place and you don't understand something that you are asked to do, you have right as an effective communicator to repeatedly ask your boss questions that will foster your understanding of your task. It might be a little embarrassing to do this but, trust me, it is far less embarrassing than to do the wrong thing. This can not only lead to embarrassment but other serious and more costly implications.
Thats my two cents for today. Keep focus.

  I promised you a breakdown of Gerbener's communication model but unfortunately I am still working on that. In the meantime, have a look at this article I found, which was written by Aurelia Flores, senior counsel at one of the Fortune 500 companies.  She lists some tips for improving your communication in the workplace. These tips show you how to move from competition to conglomeration with your co-workers, employees, and boses. http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2012/02/22/workplace-communication-rules-part-2/

Hey guys, I hope you know American George Gerbener's communication model. If not, well... you are in the 'write' place. Gerbener's model simply states and illustrates the flow of communication between individuals. It notes how information is past from one individual to the other in a reciprocal process. But enough of my talking,  lets examine a diagram of the theory. Stay tuned for a follow-up to the breakdown of the model.
