Face-to-face communication has become less popular as social media has become more popular. As a leader, face-to-face communication -- whether with a group or an individual, is vital.  To read about the reasons leaders should embrace face-to-face communication, click on the communication visual below and read the article from Inc. titled "Leaders: 6 Reasons Face-To-Face Communication Is Best."

Today's Assignment:

• Module 6 Lesson 1 Assignment

Module 6 Lesson 1 Assignment - My Communication Methods 
For Part 1, you will analyze the pros and cons of face to face, text/email, and social media communication. To show your understanding of the content, be sure to include pros and cons that relate to communication for leaders and not just communication in general. Explain each pro and con in detail referencing the notes. Then reflect on your ideas by responding to the two questions for Part 2.  For each reflection question, write a well-developed paragraph - be sure to communicate your understanding of how the communcation method affects your leadership development. Part 3 is the fun part!  Chose one of the methods you wrote about in Part 2.  Research how a leaders should use this communication method (search example of leader's social media entry, example of leader's email).  Once you see a model, then create your own.  Note that you are creating your own and not just copying/pasting the example you found - I need to see your understanding of how to lead through communication and not someone else's.  Practicing here will help you when you communicate outside of the course.
