Improving Organizational Communication: A Personal Reflection and Action Plan

Throughout the course, you will develop a list of criteria for effective organizational communication. For this assignment, you are required to compare and contrast your personal communication style and methods with the criteria that you develop during the quarter. It is expected that you identify a number of areas for improvement based on your comparison. Accordingly, develop and share your improvement plans that will help to enhance your individual communication style and methods within an organizational setting. It is important to devise highly feasible, transparent, and detailed improvement plans. The paper should be between 2-4 pages; APA writing conventions should be followed with a minimum of two (2) sources referenced and cited.

“The Inventor: Out for Blood – An Analysis of Dysfunctional Organizational Culture and Communication at Theranos”

Watch the documentary The Inventor: Out for BloodLinks to an external site.. (Note: this movie is available on HBO (Maybe netflix?)–but there is a free 7-day trial of HBO that would allow you to watch this video, just remember to cancel your subscription afterwards.)  After watching the documentary, I would like you to write a  2 page double-spaced essay that addresses the following topics. 
1. How are dysfunctional organizational cultures formed and what organizational communication practices and socialization processes keep them going?
2. Analyze the communicative practices (i.e., rituals, norms, artifacts, stories told) of Theranos. 
3. What are some of the surface level and deep structure dynamics surrounding the whistleblowers at Theranos?
*Also i’m an internationka student. My teacher know that i don’t speak formal so, the words and vocabulary needs to be kept as simple as possible. no complicated or hard words as my english is not that good.
