¶ … Hiring Effective Communicators
One of the ways our organization can improve its performance is by hiring more effective communicators. All members of the organization are responsible for communicating, with the most obviously communicative job being that of the dispatcher. Dispatchers are practically defined by their ability to use the dispatch system to communicate between patients/clients and the medics.

Practice: Discuss the Undiscussable
Although we work in a field that includes sensitive patient information that could be considered taboo for discussion in other contexts, there are also "undiscussable" issues in the organization. One of those issues is the managerial style of the owner. The owner micromanages employees to the point where management is ineffective and inefficient. Without trusting employees like Christina to do their job, the owner assumes a position of power that prevents people like Christina or anyone else from being able to talk about points of strength and weakness in the company's communication styles and organizational culture. "An attitude of seeing everyone as being in partnership around the success of the overall system" is important to foster harmonious and constructive internal communication (p. 83; Section 4.6). As the text points out, it is important to refrain from the blame game. Yet it is also important for…

.....communication strategies used in my current setting are based on years of institutional protocol and practice. Although the organizational codes of ethics have been updated recently to address issues like harassment, the communications protocols have changed little, leading to some problems like those identified by both Halm (2013) and Dufault, Duquette, Ehman et all (2010).

The audience is then tasked with the decision about which "side" they agree with. A definitive structure has not been followed
