Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Allan Vasquez GEN/200 03/29/10 Mrs. Harrell University of Phoenix After completing the assessments, I found out that my personality is Adventurous and my highest scored in the intelligence was Musical. Both of which I can agree on. The adventurous personality is something that I have heard a lot of people tell me because I am spontaneous and have courage and I am daring. The question is, what kind of strategy can I develop to communicate and collaborate with other students or people in general who have different personalities and different intelligences' I see myself as a very open minded person and willing to learn new things from different people regardless of race or gender. To me people are people no matter what and I feel like if I can better myself by listening to other people then I will do so. I think that being adventurous and working with an adventurous mentality, a team can benefit from that because it helps bring new ideas to the table and helps be more creative with how to take approaches to a specific topic. My strategy would be to come up with different ways to present a topic. I always feel like it is best to stand out so that you are noticed more than the rest. The last thing you want to be is just like the rest of the other groups. It is boring and does not give me the feeling that I have learned something new. The three different learning styles that I feel I can develop more in are naturalistic, logical-mathematical, and verbal-linguistics. My strategy to for effective communication and collaboration in these 3 styles of learning is to see if anyone in my group were stronger in either one of these three styles and ask them if they could help me with a plan or the easiest way to learn like they do. If I can take a piece of each learning style and combine it with mine then that would make things that much easier for me to comprehend anything that I did not understand. Ask questions, take notes, and then put it into action. The more I do it the more it sticks in my head and then it just comes naturally. The three different personality types besides adventurous that I can develop more in are giver, organizer, and thinker. The strategy for these three personalities would be simply to communicate with everyone. Talking to everybody and getting to know what they are about and what they stand for. It is easier to do these things in person because you can get a better feel for how they are with body language and facial expressions. Doing it online you are basically stuck to how you interpret someone’s message in a Forum. I would ask questions and try to be more patient. I like to be on the move and when I am ready to do something I am ready to do it and do not like having people holding me back. In my team I plan on being patient and letting people tell me when they are ready so that we can move on to the next step. These strategies may take time to develop but in due time they will come together and they will definitely help me be a better student, friend, and professional.
