Soul of Communication

How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace? (150-200 words)

In my opinion, communicative and critical thinking abilities are essential to my future success in the workplace as an emerging leader.

The short excerpt is taken from the article "The Soul of Communication" emphasizes the importance of how communication skills and critical thinking are essential to the success of companies and their projects. 

I believe a leader is someone who inspires positive, incremental change by empowering those around them to work toward common objectives. A leader’s most powerful tool for doing so is communication and critical thinking.

Effective communication is vital for building trust, aligning efforts in pursuit of goals, and bringing about positive change. When communication is lacking, important information can be misinterpreted, resulting in strained relationships and, ultimately, creating barriers that impede progress.

Critical thinking enables leaders of all levels to evaluate their decision-making and how these decisions ultimately impact results. To address situations based on all available facts and information and become more acutely aware of their priorities, available resources, and how they need to be accountable for their decisions. These skills are invaluable in all industries and can help professionals address complicated problems.

Having these skills is essential for professionals in all fields as it allows them to tackle complicated problems.

Summary Reader Response Draft #4

  In the article “How Artificial Intelligence, Robots Enhance Forest Sustainability in Finland”, McQueen (2019) showcase d the Finnish Forest Centre’s implementation of advanced technologies in enhancing forest sustainability.    Finland is covered in forests to the tune of 75%, and data can be acquired using aerial mapping technology in conjunction with light detection and ranging technology. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), forest management is being simplified, which further maximizes the trees' sequestration of carbon, while filling up jobs in forestry.   McQueen described how the Finns adopted environmental regulations to balance economic progress and forest preservation. The regulations prohibit practices like draining bogs and herbicide use. Under this legislation, landowners are encouraged to be active in the care of their property while the center provides recommendations.   One of the benefits of having an intelligence ass...
