Communication - By Hansel Doan
In this video example—I used a clip from Finding Nemo where Dory asks the school of fish on how to get to Sydney. One of the most important reasons I chose this clip is because it shows an example of good communication and why good communication is important.
The good communication in this clip are that: the school of fish were able to communicate exactly how to get to Sydney. Dory communicated to Marlin immediately after she confirmed the school of fish knew about Sydney. After that, the school of fish communicated how to get there via the EAC—East Australian Current and pointed in the exact direction on how to get there.
After that bit of communication—Marlin thanks them and they responded with a don’t mention it—showing signs that there was no burden. Not only that—the school of fish gave a final tidbit of information on swimming through the trench—and not over it. This extra information helps a ton.
How this fits into project management is that giving information in a concise and helpful way as well as making sure the other parties (and vice versa) aren’t a burden is one of the most important things to gain from this clip. Each and everyone communicated in a respectful, concise, and even playful way to liven up the mood. Each party gave their thanks or condolences–and each member contributed their own help. Even the school of fish asked a member to make sure a member did not feel left out.

This scene from the 2008 film The Hurt Locker portrays an example of effective team communication. In the scene, Staff Sgt. James can be heard communicating with Sgt. Sanborn on the specific locations of enemy soldiers in order to neutralize them and eliminate the threat imposed.
The objective of neutralizing or forcing a retreat upon the enemy had been previously established, and all further communications between the two men were informative, relevant, and effective to that objective. Staff Sgt. James communicated the precise locations and distances of the enemy soldiers in order for Sgt. Sanborn to accurately fire upon them. This critical communication allowed them to achieve their desired objective, resulting in success.

I chose inside out as my communication example because It illustrates 2 scenarios of terrible communication between riley emotions and her parents’ emotions.
The scene starts off where Riley is having dinner of her parents after Riley’s first day of school While she is having a conversation about her school day her joy emotion is gone so that means her other emotions must pretend to be happy. And so, while she is giving these negative answers, her mom is listening to her meanwhile her dad and his emotions are daydreaming some hockey game and not paying attention. Until his wife signifies to help brighten riley mood by which case her dad does not understand what is going on and refrains the question how school, which then she gives an answer as its fine but in a more negative tone. He then says to riley that he does not like the attitude going on and sends her to her room while the mother looks disgusted.
This shows that communication relate to project management as it is important to listen and respond to team partners as address actions that have perform poorly. In this case the parents had no clue about what was wrong with riley and let alone barely communicated about how to fix the solution which resulted the dad giving a time out. While the other communication scenario is that Riley’s emotions other emotions must communicate on becoming joy while joy is gone, they never asked the question what joy would do so they performed on being joy poorly.
