3.3 Padlet Time Capsule Project: First Deliverable — Instructions

muellea6_2 — 2025-08-27 18:27:08 UTC

For the first time capsule deliverable, you will analyze your group activity in 3.2 Group Infographic: Effective Leadership Communication.

For this first assignment, do the following:

Create a five to seven-minute narrated video presentation summarizing your personal communication efforts and that of the other group members in 3.2 Group Infographic: Effective Leadership Communication. Describe group members' behaviors according to Bebin's team roles and other pertinent information from the 3.1 Resource Café: Rack 3.

Analyze and add to the video listening blocks you and others demonstrated. Include how you worked to diminish your listening blocks when communicating with group members. Also, include how you and other group members demonstrated boundary spanning.

Use Padlet to create a visual for your presentation. You can make videos directly in Padlet to record the narration and create the presentation. This is the preferred method of creating your video presentation.

Listening Blocks

As with any group, we encountered listening challenges. At times, I found myself rehearsing what I wanted to say instead of fully listening to others’ contributions. To reduce this, I paused before replying, and I re-read posts to make sure I understood before responding. Other group members showed strong active listening by paraphrasing each other’s points or asking clarifying questions. By being mindful of these listening blocks, we kept communication respectful and effective.

Boundary Spanning

Our team also engaged in boundary spanning—connecting internal collaboration with external resources. We integrated course readings, such as Lawson et al. on persuasion and conflict resolution, and McKay on messages. We also included an outside source from Harvard Business School Online (2022), which emphasizes storytelling for clarity and impact. By bringing in these insights, we connected our academic learning to practical leadership communication strategies.

Key Takeaways

The biggest lesson I learned is that influence is more sustainable than authority. Our collaboration reinforced that trust, empathy, and clear communication lead to better outcomes than control. I also saw firsthand how collaboration enhances group resilience and how reflection helps reduce bias. Finally, the role of storytelling stood out—visuals and narratives, like our infographic itself, improved both clarity and engagement in our group work.
