For example, the chief executive officer (CEO) of a hospital has many high-level responsibilities, including working on the upcoming budget. This requires group thinking with department managers and the administrative team working together. Communication in groups is important because without it there is an increased risk of conflict, tension, and misunderstandings in the workplace. Good communication is vital because it is the foundation of a healthy culture and a properly functioning team. When a team has excellent communication, all other aspects of a business can flourish. Consider the collaboration process, then share an example of an effective work group used in health care. Discuss one effective communication technique used in a group setting and explain why it is important. Discuss at least one conflict that can occur during a team project.arrow_forward
