![Interactive Activity #4](../../elearning/collaboration_strategies/cs_images/interactive_act4.gif)
Over the course of the next week, observe a team that you are part of
or interact with. Observe this team in meetings, through email or telephone
exchanges, or other encounters. Try to identify symbols, signs, and
behaviours that the team has adopted over time and uses in its communication
style in order to accomplish its work.
Visit the Interactive
Community
and under the Folder Communication - Your Workplace post your
own assessment of how your team is communicating. Try to identify ways
in which your team is fostering and/or hindering effective communication.
Each team that you belong to may be at a different stage of development.
You may be able to identify what stage your team is at by taking a close
look at how you communicate as a group.
