480.646 Managerial Communication

Writer and historian James Humes said, "The art of communication is the language of leadership." It is that simple comment that forms the foundation of this course. Here the student will explore the role of communication with stakeholders including subordinates, superiors, internal and external customers, suppliers, and the community. Students will examine effective communication in hiring and promoting, in conflict, in community interaction and in the internal communication of an organization. The class is built around three precepts: with whom does one communicate, what does one communicate and how does one communicate effectively. This assessment is conducted from the perspective of senior leadership in an organization so it involves the design and successful implementation of vision, mission, and strategic plans.
