T W I L F

Answer 2

The more you communicate, the better your communication will be

When two people are in a close relationship, neither person should have to communi-
cate needs and wants explicitly; the other person should know what these are

Interpersonal or group conflict is a reliable sign that the relationship or group is in
trouble

Like good communicators, leaders are born, not made.

Fear of speaking in public is detrimental and must be eliminated

Question 3

Explain this myth about communication
“The more you communicate, the better your communication will be”

Answer 3

Although this proposition seems logical the same idea lies behind the popular belief that practice makes perfect—it actually is at the heart of much faulty learning. Practice may help make your communication perfect if you practice the right habits. But if you practice bad habits, you’re likely to grow less, rather than more, effective. Consequently, it’s important to learn and practice the principles of effectiveness.

Question 4

Explain this myth about communication.
“When two people are in a close relationship, neither person should have to communicate needs and wants explicitly; the other person should know what these are”

Answer 4

Question 5

explain this myth about communication
“Interpersonal or group conflict is a reliable sign that the relationship or group is in
trouble.”

Answer 5

If the conflict is managed effectively, it may actually benefit the individuals and the relationship.

Question 6

explain this myth
“Like good communicators, leaders are born, not made”

Answer 6

Although some people are
better suited to leadership than others, leadership, like communication and
listening, is a learned skill. You’ll develop leadership abilities as you learn the
principles of human communication and those unique to group communication
and group leadership.

Question 7

explain this myth of communication.
“Fear of speaking in public is detrimental and must be eliminated”

Answer 7

Most speakers are nervous and, to be perfectly honest, you’re probably not going to learn from this book or this course to eliminate what is commonly called stage fright or communication apprehension. But you can learn to manage your fear, making it work for you rather than against you; you can learn, and this is crucial, to become a more effective speaker regardless of your current level of anxiety
