Public Administration Reflection and Analysis Content of the Paper
Using your best Standard American English, in this paper, you will write a reflection on your use of the you-viewpoint within your own professional organization. You will both analyze and reflect on a you-viewpoint communication strategy that you have attempted to make use of in your workplace over the last several weeks (since you have been enrolled in this course).
Remember, first, to establish the context for your you-viewpoint attempt.
Paint a brief sketch, in your opening paragraph(s), of your organization
What the organization?s culture is
What the organization?s climate is
What your own department looks like
Who is there
What the roles and functions are
What the communication climate is (formal, informal?)
How communication takes place (orally, in writing, non-verbally?)
Communication mediums (in person, via phone, via email, or other?)
Next, define what is meant by the you-viewpoint (this would be a great place for a direct quotation from the class text) and what your understanding of the you-viewpoint is specific to your own professional context.
