1 COMMUNICATION AND INTERGENERATIONAL COOPERATION PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES 30- AND
2 FOREWORD This training manual forms the integral part of the training material developed for the public sector employees 30- and 45+ in the course of project MUME. Please note that the same training material prepared for this training module (Communication and Intergenerational Cooperation) should be used for both target groups. The applied methodology supposes that communication situations are more or less the same in case of the two age groups, only the content and the vocabulary (in broader terms) used will differentiate the two target groups. Authors: Paivi Korhonen Krisztina Erdős István Lábodi 2
3 Thematic Block I INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION 1. Short introduction of the lecturer/teacher Name, experience, other important aspects, etc. 2. Introduction to the blocks Presentation of the lecturer/teacher There are four blocks in the module all requiring 2-2 academic hours (altogether 8 academic hours meaning 6 hours a day). Since communication and intergenerational cooperation has a wide range of literature the vast majority of the training is implemented as workshops including working in pairs and role plays. The aim of the training module is to compile three types of codes: Code of effective dialogues and intergenerational cooperation with 30- public sector employees developed by the 30- target group Code of effective dialogues and intergenerational cooperation with 45+ public sector employees developed by the 45+ target group Code of behaviour for public institutions in communication with foreigners developed by the target group that first had the current training module and adjusted by the other target group All codes to be developed are a kind of To Do-s and Not To Do-s that is to be followed in order to have successful and fruitful communication with colleagues of other age groups. Several elements of communication were included in previous training modules, especially in the Business English module. Task 1: Remember what elements of communication were touched upon during the previous training module? Some examples: compiling and holding a presentation, introducing people to others or introducing yourself, writing official or informal letters The implementation of the training module requires additional tasks: one hour long 3
4 preparation for completing the first task by identifying situations when communication with colleagues in other age group is challenging. 3. Identification and introduction of challenging collaboration situations with the other age group Team work and discussions moderated by the lecturer/teacher Aim: to define the most common challenging situations Task 2 Referring to the preparation for the class, describe the most challenging situation when collaborating with the other age group. Every participant should describe a challenge not mentioned before. When describing, use the following titles: (i) Who were present? (face-to-face situation or several people around) (ii) What was the essence of the challenge (compose in one sentence) (iii) What was the challenge in the situation (verbal, non-verbal communication, different level of knowledge, professional issue or communication issue, etc.) All participants have max 1 minute to share the information. The lecturer puts down the title of the situations and at the end of the description part all participants should raise their hands if the particular described situation is familiar with them. All votes will be registered and this will allow creating the order of the situations from the most common to the least important situations. 4. Identification of the most challenging communication situations with the colleagues representing the other target group during working hours Team work (work in pairs) and role play moderated by the lecturer/teacher Aim: to present and fine-tune the most common challenging situations from communication aspects. Task 3 Work in pairs: Choose a situation identified and ranked in Task 1 (no duplications allowed). Divide the tasks and discuss how you would present the communication in the particular situation (key words, non-verbal communication tools, etc.). Role play: Present the chosen situation. The audience (other participants) takes notes on the following: 4
5 (i) How did the partners express themselves? What kind of communication style and communication behaviour was applied? (ii) What might be the communication strategies (conflict management strategies) of the collocutors? (iii) What types of non-verbal communication tools were used? (iv) What was the key element in communication that led to the success/failure of the right communication? (v) How should this communication situation have been managed? (What would be your advice?) 5. Contextual and situation analysis of the performed situations Team work and discussions moderated by the lecturer/teacher Aim: to discuss the situations performed in order to support the definition of To Do-s and Don t Do-s Task 4 Referring to Task 3, evaluate the role plays focusing on the following aspects: i. communication style ii. communication behaviour iii. strategies applied iv. non-verbal communication tools Compile the list of the above aspects. Discuss and agree on the following: i. key success factors of communication ii. elements that led to the failure of communication iii. what is your advice to the other age group to turn communication successful? 6. Wrap up Team work and discussions moderated by the lecturer/teacher Aim: to have the inputs to the Code of effective dialogues and intergenerational cooperation Based on the lists compiled when completing Task 4, prepare the To Do-s and Don t Do-s of your age group to be better understood and effectively cooperate with the other target group. Develop improvement proposals for verbal and non-verbal communication of your age group to the other target group (transfer the to do-s and don t do-s to the words of code) 5

10 BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO COMPLETE THE TASKS GENERAL Communication 1 Verbal communication 2 Non-verbal communication 3 Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share") is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behaviour. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two or more living creatures. Any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person's needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. Communication may be intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional signals, may take linguistic or non-linguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes. (de Valenzuela, Julia Scherba) Human spoken and pictorial languages can be described as a system of symbols (sometimes known as lexemes) and the grammars (rules) by which the symbols are manipulated. The word "language" also refers to common properties of languages. Language learning normally occurs most intensively during human childhood. Most of the thousands of human languages use patterns of sound or gesture for symbols which enable communication with others around them. Languages seem to share certain properties although many of these include exceptions. There is no defined line between a language and a dialect. Constructed languages such as Esperanto, programming languages, and various mathematical formalisms are not necessarily restricted to the properties shared by human languages. Communication is the flow or exchange of information within people or a group of people. There are a variety of verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. These include body language, eye contact, sign language, haptic communication, and chronemics. Other examples are media content such as pictures, graphics, sound, and writing. General: Nonverbal communication describes the process of conveying meaning in the form of non-word messages. Some
11 forms of non-verbal communication include chronemics, haptics, gesture, body language or posture, facial expression and eye contact, object communication such as clothing, hairstyles, architecture, symbols, infographics, and tone of voice, as well as through an aggregate of the above. Speech also contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage. These include voice lesson quality, emotion and speaking style as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Research has shown that up to 55% of spoken communication may occur through non-verbal facial expressions, and a further 38% through paralanguage. (Mehrabian, A) TASK 2 AND TASK 3 Communication styles Communication behaviours The way somebody shares his/her thoughts verbally with others. There might be four styles distinguished: 1. Clear and direct (the message is directly sent to the recipient, the text is stated plainly: Peter, you made a mistake here.) 2. Clear and indirect (the message is clear but is not directed to the person it relates to. Usually using general persons : It is a pity that people make mistakes here.) 3. Masked and direct (the message is unclear but is directed to the right person: Peter, people are not so precise nowadays) 4. Masked and indirect (message and recipient are both unclear: People are not so precise nowadays) There are four main types of communication behaviours: 1. Passive: Passive communication involves putting your needs last. You don t express your thoughts or feelings, or ask for what you want. The assumption behind passive communication is my needs don t matter (you win/i lose and I resent you for that). 4 Passive communicators are afraid of confrontation having the thought that they do not have the right to make their wishes and desires known. 2. Aggressive: Aggressive communication is a method of expressing needs and desires that do not take in to account the welfare of others. Those who communicate in an
12 Characteristics of communication behaviours 7 aggressive manner are generally perceived as selfish and unwilling to compromise. 5 Aggressive communicators express thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in an emotionally honest way inappropriately and violating others. 3. Passive-Aggressive: A passive-aggressive communicator expresses his/her needs and feelings in an unclear and confusing manner. They appear to be in agreement on the surface but are really undermining or acting out anger towards others behind their back. 4. Assertive: Assertive communication involves respect for the boundaries of oneself and others. It also presumes an interest in the fulfilment of needs and wants through cooperation. 6 Assertiveness would be the preferred style in communication. Active toward reaching one s goal? Respectful? Listens to others? Communicates Confidence? Uses non-verbal Communication? Impression given to others? Reinforced by achievement of goals? Examples of verbal interaction PASSIVE No, ineffective strategy Communicates apathy or submissiveness Maybe, but does not actively respond No Yes, displays weakness and vulnerability Weakness, apathy Yes, temporarily, if goal is to avoid conflict I don t care Whatever Silent AGGRESSIVE Yes, but at the expense of others No, intentions are to hurt others Probably more concerned with own perspective Yes, probably too much Yes, from threat gestures to injuring others Jerk Mean you get the idea Yes, immediate gratification, poor long term outcome F*@% You! I ll Kill You! You re Stupid! PASSIVE- AGRESSIVE Yes, but usually too late and inappropriately No, mostly blame and guilt tips Maybe, but with hidden intentions Maybe when acting aggressive Yes, used to manipulate others Difficult to read, unpredictable Yes, at the expense of relationships It s your fault You should have Sarcasm ASSERTIVE Yes, and appropriately Yes, even when defending their own safety Yes, then responds at the appropriate time Yes, to set appropriate boundaries Yes, to reinforce appropriate verbal communication Easy to get along with, confident, cooperative Yes, and improves relationships I Statements When is a good time to talk? Conflict management 8 There is no single definition of conflict, most definitions involve the following factors: there are at least two
13 independent groups, the groups perceive some incompatibility between themselves, and the groups interact with each other in some way (Putnam and Poole, 1987). "Process in which one party perceives that its interests are being opposed or negatively affected by another party" (Wall & Callister, 1995, p. 517), and "the interactive process manifested in incompatibility, disagreement, or dissonance within or between social entities" (Rahim, 1992, p. 16). Conflict management minimizes the negative outcomes of conflict and promotes the positive outcomes of conflict with the goal of improving learning in an organization. (Rahim, 2002, p. 208) Conflict management strategies The causes of conflicts range from philosophical differences to power imbalances. Poorly or not managed conflicts might result in the breakdown of trust and losing effectiveness or confidence. There are five conflict management strategies which support dealing with conflicts before they escalate beyond repair. Accommodating strategy Avoiding strategy Collaborating strategy Compromising strategy Competing strategy Those applying the accommodating strategy give the opposing persons what they want. Particular situations of using the accommodation strategy is when a person wishes to keep the peace or assumes the particular issue as minor. Those applying avoiding strategy postpone or suspend conflict indefinitely. By acting this way (delaying or ignoring the conflict) the person hopes that the problem will be solved without a confrontation. Those who often apply the avoiding strategy have lower self-esteem or have a position with low power. Collaboration means the integration of the ideas raised by several people. By applying the collaborating strategy, the aim is to find a solution which is acceptable to everybody. The collaboration strategy is time consuming and therefore is not appropriate to be applied in such situations when the result can be achieved by a simpler solution (collaborating strategy regarding office supplies is a waste of time). Applying the compromising strategy means that both conflicting partners should give up some elements of their concepts in order to come to a solution which is acceptable for both of them. This strategy is most often applied in conflict situations where the parties hold more or less equivalent power. Competition is a zero-sum game: one wins and the other 13
14 Strategies and behaviours loses. The competing strategy is beneficial in crisis situations. Non-verbal communication Types of non-verbal communication Eye contact Facial expressions Non-verbal signals refer to how a person listens, looks, moves and reacts and tells the other person whether or not you care, if you re being truthful, and how well you re listening. When your non-verbal signals and your speech match, the situation increase trust and clarity. In the other case the result is tension and confusion. Nonverbal communication cues can play five roles 9 1. Repetition: they can repeat the message the person is making verbally 2. Contradiction: they can contradict a message the individual is trying to convey. 3. Substitution: they can substitute for a verbal message (eyes can convey a far more vivid message than words). 4. Complementing: they may complement a verbal message. 5. Accenting: they may accent or underline a verbal message (pounding the table underlines a message). The way you look at somebody communicates many types of messages (interest, attraction, hostility, affection, etc.) and therefore is an especially important type of non-verbal communication. Eye contact helps maintaining the flow of conversation. The human face can express any emotion without saying a word and are universal (i.e. happiness, anger, fear disgust) and the same across cultures. 9 Source: The Importance of Effective Communication, Edward G. Wertheim, Ph.D. 14
15 Voice Body movements, posture Gestures Touch Space Besides the words you use, it is also essential how you say them. The timing, pace, loudness, tone, inflection of your voice and speech can mean either sarcasm, anger, confidence or even affection. The way you move, sit, stand up, hold your hand or head, walk is also communicating to the partners. We can express ourselves without thinking with the help of gestures (use our hands, beckon, point, wave when arguing). Gestures have different meaning across cultures and regions, and we have to be careful to avoid misinterpretation. Communication through touch is also an important element of non-verbal communication. Messages like a warm bear hug, a weak handshake or a reassuring slap on the back are all very informative. Physical space communicates several non-verbal messages (aggression, intimacy, dominance or affection). Comfortable physical space is different culture by culture, the situation or the relationship. TASK. Organisational culture 10 Organizational culture is the behaviour of humans who are part of an organization and the meanings that the people attach to their actions. Culture includes the organization values, visions, norms, working language, systems, symbols, beliefs and habits. It is also the pattern of such collective behaviours and assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of perceiving, and even thinking and feeling. Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders. Thematic Block no.
