Problem:
Recount at least one past situation where you experienced a substantial breakdown in communication within a group.
Identify the communication barrier(s) at work. (For example, problems with communication can pop-up at every stage of the communication process, which consists of the sender, encoding, the channel, decoding, the receiver, feedback and the context---consider these problems in your answer).
Why did the barriers occur? What were the consequences of the communication breakdown? Identify at least two strategies that could be used to overcome the barriers and improve communication effectiveness. Explain why the strategies will improve the communication process.
