'Collaborate, communicate, XXXX and coerce'. Select the missing term.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

'Collaborate, communicate, direct and coerce.'

Methods of communicating change. These terms are taken directly from your syllabus for this sub-ject, and reflect a decreasingly co-operative approach to communicating / implementing change.

Managers can decide where they wish to be on this spectrum of behaviours, rather like McGregor suggests with Theory X and Y.

I think 'Dictate' could also work, but 'Consult' is a better fit.

Ooh, 'Decide'? I'd love to see the person who decided that was the correct answer. Maybe they're the same one who thought 'coerce' was a good team-building exercise.

Haha, 'Dictate'? That's like the anti-thesis of collaboration. This is a no-brainer, folks. The answer is 'Consult'.

Yeah, 'Dictate' goes against the whole idea of collaboration. 'Consult' is the way to go.

I think the missing term is 'Consult'. Collaboration and communication are all about working together, not dictating or coercing.
