Once upon a time there was a frog race. The aim was to get on the top of a tower. A lot gathered to support them. That race started… . In reality, everyone
thought that it was an inevitable task. Everyone was shouting: “what a waste, they
will never make it to the top” The frogs begun having doubts of themselvesOne after the other admitted that they could
not make it. All but one! At the end and after a tremendous effort he made it.
Then the rest asked him how did he made it, when they realized the winner frog was deaf !!!

Process in which info is exchanged and understood with the intention of influencing behaviour.
Sender: person wishing to convey a message (idea or info), to others, by encoding the idea in symbols (words).
Receiver: person to whom the message is sent by decoding the symbols. During encoding and decoding errors arise.
Channel: message is conveyed through (note, memo, letter, report, telephone call or face-to-face meeting).
Noise: the distortion when translating symbols to meaning (experience, attitudes and knowledge affecting perception).
Feedback: two-way comm., the receiver to the sender in the form of a return message or reaction
Communication process
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
72
Impersonal, static: bulletins & general reports (does not permit feedback)
Personal, static (richer): Memos, letters. Interactive channels: phone and e-mail. Physical presence (richest): face-to-face. Factors influencing the richness: ability to handle multiple signals simultaneously degree allows rapid two-way comm. ability to permit comm. on personal basis. Selecting a channel: Message unusual and non-routine: rich channel, as
misunderstandings of new events can so easily arise (under pressure)
Routine messages: statistics or minutes of meetings, can be conveyed through a less rich channel.
Channel Richness:
amount of infothat can be
transmitted
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
73
When a person communicates through actions and behaviour, messages of a nonverbal nature are transmitted.
Nonverbal: high proportion of messages sent and received. The understanding in a face-to-face discussion is achieved
through facial expressions, tone of voice, posture and gestures.
Research study:major factors in face-to-face: Verbal impact : 7 % Non- vocal impact: 38% Facial impact: 55 %
Effective Communication

This skill enables one to receive and interpret, or decode, messages in terms of the facts and the feelings they convey.
It is then possible to provide effective feedback.
Effective Communication

To what extent do you agree with this view?
“To convince others, first convince yourself.”
Link your response to a typical project you are familiar with, paying special attention to the issue of successful interaction.

Humor: A joke relaxes a tense atmosphere. Examples: members can readily relate. Metaphors: good dully speeches Language: individuals feel as part of the interaction,
i.e. ‘Let us’ not ‘Let me’; ‘We are going to’ not ‘I am going to’; etc.
Dramatise issues or narrate short stories. Language: showing attention and cooperation i.e,.
“you are listening, judging by your contribution”. Make members achieving: “At this speed, we are
getting there”, or “The good ideas have taken us far”, Bad message: “This project is making our hair turn
grey”, or “We always tremble when we think about this monstrous project”, or “Colleagues, I think there is burnout on account of this project”
Ask referential questions while you are making the presentation.

Teambuilding issues
Read statement. When agree + or disagree -. There are no right or wrong answers. Arrive at a consensus.
Teamwork strangle creativity and individuality. Members should attend meetings to set team goals and discuss team problems. Personal goals can be accomplished through teamwork. It is necessary to ignore the feelings of others in order to reach a team decision. In teamwork, conflict should be avoided. A silent member is not interested in working as a team. The person in the group with the highest status in the organization should always take
the leadership role. In teamwork, it is important and necessary to allow time for discussion and agreement
on operating procedures. Every member is contributing toward the group task. In teamwork, "majority rule" applies. Teamwork involves working toward a common goal. A good team member provides emotional support to all other members. Every team needs a leader/coordinator. Teamwork accomplishes a task more effectively and efficiently than individual
efforts. Every team member should contribute equally toward accomplishing the task. If a team fails to accomplish a task, it is the fault of the leader/coordinator. A primary concern of all team members should be to establish an atmosphere where
all feel free to express their opinions. Final power in teamwork always rests with the leader/ coordinator. There are often occasions when an individual who is part of the team should do what
he/she thinks is right, regardless of what the team has decided to do. All members must be committed to the team approach to accomplish the task.

Questions:Team building
One person to speak at a time, Don't interrupt. Understand others. Respect the views of all participants. Everyone participates. Speak openly and honestly Each person speaks on his behalf. If you don’t understand
something, ask for clarification. Take responsibility for actions and results. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Members can disagree without fear. Negative feedback: calmly, timely, privately, using
present information, focused on issues and behaviors (not individuals).
Disagree with what was said, but not with who said it. Give specific positive feedback (recognition) right away
in public, but adapted to the receiver. Communicate immediately if you think you may not be
able to fulfill an agreement. If you see a problem that others haven’t noticed, bring it
to someone’s attention. Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris

Effective Time Managers
Every night write on a card the 6 most important tasks for tomorrow.
Number in the order of importance. Morning look at the most important and
work on it until finished. Begin item 2 the same way. Don’t worry if you only complete 2 items.
Most important tasks completed. Every night write a card for the next day.

Time Man.1 Method
Decide: most important task and should be completed first.
Place planner in an easy access position Write dates assignments are due Find duration required to complete task.

‘start’ dates.

Delegate by giving directions. Explain the way delegation is aligned
with the organizational goals. Define mutually accepted assessment
models. Clarify the expected results Prepare for their questions Discuss repeated problems Discuss the ideas about the way a task
should be executed Point the positive aspects Support the subordinates Show that they are trusted Recognize their work Keep promises Never take back duties set
The “must” of delegation
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
131
Threat the employees
Just give answers
Overreact to problems
Criticize employees at the presence of others
Over control
When delegatingNever
Delegation involves passing responsibility for completion of work to other people.
Know how you work,
Responsibility for jobs you have no time
Develop people to look after routine tasks
To people whose skills are better than yours, saving time.
Develops staff, and can increase enjoyment
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
132
Reasons for delegation
What: list things or activity log. Who: Good will do. Not supervision. Complete jobs: more satisfying. Explain why, results: overall picture.
Result needed, importance, constraints, deadlines, reporting dates, let go!
Help when requested: support. Accept only finished work Give credit when a job has been
successfully completed: Public recognition
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
133
How to delegate
Explain importance of job: understand role – How their success impact the team, – understanding will drive commitment.
Define results expected: to be achieved– avoid dictating “exact” steps to follow. – offer information and support. – sense of ownership to personDefine authority: remove barriers.– Provide authority to accomplishing task.
Agree on deadline: schedule and how. Ask for feedback: repeat understanding. Set up controls: Schedule times for updates
and feedback to prevent unexpected results and surprises.
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
134
Effective delegation
Lack of time: invest time in training people to take over tasks. Jobs may take longer.
Perfectionism: let make mistakes, and help them to correct them.
Enjoying by myself: inefficient. Time cost. Surrender authority: adequate time to do
the job well. Becoming invisible: think and plan and
improve operations. Staff cannot do it: Good people will often
under-perform if they are bored.
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
135
Delegation failure
1. No delegation: “Do exactly what I say”.
2. Ask analysis but no recommendation. “Look this and tell me results. I'll decide”.
3. Asks recommendation but check thinking. “Give me pros, cons, recommendation. I'll let you know whether you can go ahead.”
4. Trusted to judge but needs approval. “let me know decision, but wait for my go”.
5. The other control. “Decide and let me know, then go ahead unless I say not to”.
6. “Decide, act, let me know what you did”.
7. “Decide and take action. You need not check back with me”
Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
136
Seven delegation
levels
Manager decides and announces decision. Manager decides and sells decision The manager presents the decision with
background ideas and invites questions. The manager suggests a provisional
decision and invites discussion about it. The manager presents the situation, gets
suggestions, and then decides. The manager explains the situation, defines
the parameters and asks the team to decide. The manager allows the team to identify
the problem, develop the options, and decide on the action, within the manager's received limits.Dr. Dimitrios P. Kamsaris
137
Levels of delegated freedom

Effective delegation involves achieving the correct balance between effective control of work and letting people get on with jobs in their own way.
The related with the…..The control of team.Power of discipline enforcement Morale maintenanceGeneral control Discretion
Subordinate: think that as a weakness of manager (lack of knowledge, skills etc.)
Duties not allocated
