In this course you will learn: to identify the elements that influence a first impression, to build rapport, and establish credibility with others, and to build positive relationships. |

Advanced Interpersonal Communication: Organizational Culture |

An organizational culture is the personality of an organization. This personality is both determined and accepted by the organization’s members. For example, an organization might have a culture that is youthful, energetic, and fast-paced. In this type of culture, decisions are made quickly, and employees are empowered to take action in a wide variety of situations. Another organization might be more straight-laced and policy-oriented. This organization would be much more formal and serious in the way it does business. It is important to recognize and understand the culture of an organization, so that you can determine your fit with the organization.
In this course you will learn: to determine the nature of an organization’s culture, to use the cultural network to your advantage, and identify the characteristics of the roles exhibited in the network, to identify the elements of physical culture that affect interpersonal communication, and to identify the ways in which managers can build a positive culture. |

It is important to communicate effectively with all of your supervisors to maintain an efficient workplace and to be able to promote your own ideas for improvements.
