COMM_3005 Week 2 Discussion Solved No Plagiarism

$10.00

Discussion: I Regret to Inform You …

You need to set a tone at the top that inspires trust – and encourages open and honest 2-way communication. So you hear the brutal facts, and you listen to the good news and the bad news – so that, in the spirit of continuous improvement, you can make changes.

—Denise Morrison

The bad or negative news message can take either an indirect or direct approach to the information that must be delivered. An indirect approach may offer insight and explanation, providing context for the bad news. A direct approach often states the negative news clearly and discusses the potential or anticipated impact. Each approach to this common written work product offers advantages and disadvantages.

 

Imagine you are a manager and you have to deliver bad news such as:

  • Downsizing at the company, including layoffs
  • Loss of an important client
  • A decrease or elimination of a job benefit (education, parking, travel)
  • An unfavorable regulation, fine for poor results on an inspection, or significant shift in sales due to competition that has negatively impacted the business or company
  • A similar bad news message from your experience

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the required resources.
  • Identify your bad news scenario.
  • Identify a direct or indirect approach to deliver your message.

  • How would you interpret the message as an employee?
