Unit description
In this unit students will be exposed to the methods of communication from managerial, organisational, and corporate points of view, preparing them to rise to the challenges posed to the manager as a communicator. Students will broaden their knowledge of contemporary communication, in respect to providing feedback, coaching, mentoring and networking. As both leaders and managers play many roles and are required to motivate and lead numerous stakeholders, this unit will teach students to analyse and understand audiences. Whether playing the role of leader, liaison, interpreter, disseminator, advocate, or spokesperson, the unit will help students to employ important factors to consider when communicating in a given role. |
