The
Essential Structure of an Effective Communicator:
A Pilot Study
Description:
Numerous studies conclude that communication skills are one of the most
important qualities that a person can have in order to gain and maintain a
professional position. Communication
scholars have determined types of skills that effective communicators should
have; however, many of the conclusions were derived from prescriptive as
opposed to descriptive methods. This
pilot study in the phenomenological tradition attempts to identify the essence
of an effective communicator in both the personal and professional contexts.
