The person who I believe demonstrates competent communication is Mr. Jack Damron. Mr. Damron just retired as our Executive Director, but he has the communication skills that I want to follow. During his time as Executive Director he made sure that he went around each morning to the different departments to say good morning and ask if there were any concerns. He made sure he complimented his employees in a positive manner and remembered every little detail of each one of us (there are over 200 employees). During our staff meeting he made sure that he praised his employees and stressed the fact that his job was made easier because he had the competent staff to make sure the job was done.
He made himself accessible to all employees and never had a negative attitude, no matter what the problem was. He made sure he gave his employees his fullest attention when discussing any topic, never gave the impression that he was bored.
I would want to model some of my communication behaviors after Mr. Damron because I believe his method of communication was very effective. I saw how every one of his employee had the respect and admiration for this gentleman. I want to be able to have the same positive effect that Mr. Damron had when he went around inquiring about how our day was going.
