[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper identifying communication "disconnects" at an organization, followed by identification and discussion of specific points used as examples. The paper presents examples in a 2-page text table, and then assigns the organization (a school district) a score of 88 for overall effectiveness. The same circumstances in another organization would be deserving of a score in the low 90s, perhaps a 91 or 92. Because this specific organization is a public school district and is charged in part with teaching better skills than those exhibited in several areas of communication, however, it is awarded a lower score.
