Part 2:After you’ve collected at least 5-10 communication samples, identify the inhibitors they represent and define the inhibitors in a bullet-list. The definition you provide should identify the general characteristics of the inhibitor and how it works to impede communication.

Part 3:Analyze the communication samples you have collected in a table with three columns:

 

1. Communication example either as a direct quote or paraphrase

 

2. Name of the inhibitor(s) at work in the sample

 

3. Justification of your selection of the inhibitor(s).

 

Part 4:Using a scale of 1 to 100, rank your organization’s communication effectiveness. Justify and explain the score your award.
