youd like to cover in a logical order. This step can be particularly useful
for larger documents that need to address many issues.
3. Dont keep readers in suspense: Professionals with strong written
communication skills know that its critical to get to the point with any
message, or readers may just stop reading. Between emails, texts, the
Internet, memos and reports, people are on information overload today,
and they wont wade through long-winded materials.
4. Stay professional: As you try to improve your written communication
skills, take everything you write seriously, steering clear of any
controversial or sensitive subjects. This can be easier said than done
5. Check it again: Maybe you feel like your written communication skills are
on track as you make a compelling case for updating your offices phone
system. However, as you put together your masterpiece, youre moving
along so quickly that the document is filled with typos and spelling
mistakes. No worries, you tell yourself, youll just run a spellcheck, and
all will be fine.
2. Non-verbal communication: Nonverbal communication is a process of
generating meaning using behavior other than words, it is usually understood
as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless
messages. Non-verbal communication is a powerful arsenal in the face-to-face
communication encounters, expressed consciously in the presence of others
and perceived either consciously or unconsciously. Much of non-verbal
communication is unintentional people are not even aware that they are
sending messages. Non-verbal communication takes place though gestures,
facial expressions, eye contact. Some important definitions of non-verbal
communication are as follows:

have to choose the right time to ask your questions, because in some
cases, your question maybe accidentally disrupt the others, making
them feel uncomfortable. So, only raise your questions when truly
necessary and be sure not to affect the person you want to ask.
o Friendly relationship: Be friendly with everyone in the company,
proactive acquainted and always affable and enthusiastic in everything
even if no one knows about you, pay attention and respond to that
affable.
o Keep smiling: Success, support, encouragement has always been
marked by a friendly smile. The secret of communication is always
maintained amiable attitude with permanent smile on the lips not only
brings a touch of friendly people around, but also makes itself has been
the delight, serenity.

Time management refers to numerous techniques and skills that can help a person
to make use of the available time in the most efficient way and to accomplish goals,
tasks and projects within the predetermined period of time. Time management skills
vary from, but are not limited to, prioritizing tasks, planning, scheduling, organizing
and the delegation of functions. However, it also includes an analysis of the time
spend for different activities as well as close monitoring that allows one to improve
his time management skills.

productivity, which allows this person to get more work done within shorter amounts
of time. Time management allows us furthermore to take control over our
professional as well as personal life, as it helps us to know what needs to be done
and what goals need to be accomplished on a daily basis. Effective time
23
Unfortunately, though, many of us dont get enough of it. Between jobs, family
responsibilities, errands, and upkeep on the house and the yard, most of us
are hard-pressed to find even 10 minutes to sit and do nothing. Having good
time management skills helps you find that time. When youre busy, youre
getting more done. You accumulate extra time throughout your day that you
can use later to relax, unwind, and prepare for a good nights sleep.
Reduce stress: Once you learn how to manage your time, you no longer
subject yourself to that level of stress. Besides it being better for your health,
you have a clearer picture of the demands on your time. Youre better able to
estimate how long a given task will take you to complete, and you know you
can meet the deadline.
Become more successful in your career: Time management is the key to
success. It allows you to take control of your life rather than following the flow
of others. As you accomplish more each day, make more sound decisions, and
24
feel more in control, people notice. Leaders in your business will come to you
when they need to get things done. And that increased exposure helps put you
in line for advancement opportunities.
How to make an effective time management strategies
Set priorities: Managing your time effectively requires a distinction between
what is important and what is urgent, the most important tasks usually arent
the most urgent tasks. However, we tend to let the urgent dominate our lives.
One of the easiest ways to prioritize is to make a to do list. Whether you
need a daily, weekly or monthly list depends on your lifestyle. Just be careful
not to allow the list-making to get out of control and do not keep multiple lists
at the same time. Rank the items on your to do list in order of priority (both
important and urgent). You may choose to group items in categories such as
high, medium and low, number them in order, or use a color coding system.
Keep in mind that your goal is not to mark off the most items; rather you want
to mark off the highest priority items. Having a prioritized to do list allows
you to say no to activities that may be interesting or provide a sense of
achievement but do not fit your basic priorities.
Use a planning tool: Time management experts recommend using a
personal planning tool to improve your productivity. Examples of personal
planning tools include electronic planners, pocket diaries, calendars, computer
programs, wall charts, index cards and notebooks. Writing down your tasks,
schedules, and memory joggers can free your mind to focus on your priorities.
Auditory learners may prefer to dictate their thoughts instead. The key is to
find one planning tool that works for you and use that tool consistently. Some
reminders when using a planning tool are:
o Always record your information on the tool itself. Jotting notes elsewhere
that have to be transferred later is inefficient.
25
Avoid multi tasking: Recent psychological studies have shown that multitasking does not actually save time. In fact, the opposite is often true. You lose
time when switching from one task to another, resulting in a loss of
productivity. Routine multi-tasking may lead to difficulty in concentrating and
maintaining focus when needed.

D. Vibrant Roles When team members role are defined, the team works better.
By the manager or by mutual understanding the roles of team members can be
given.
E. Quality Control - Effective teams are ready to aggregately examine their profit
and courses to guarantee that the last product or result meets or surpasses the
team objective.
F. Risk-taking - An effective team will additionally be ready to take innovative risks
or research. An effective team also goes outside the task to improve the existing
task.

3.2 Discuss alternative techniques to manage team work and achieve team goals.
Progress on clear common objectives:
Teamwork means together toward a common goal, and strive to find success on the
job. The team members must understand the goals of the group and is committed to
trying to achieve that goal. If the goal is quite clear and you get the commitment of
all team members, you will have the right to reward or punish the team members as
needed. The team members need to strive for themselves and for the common
work. You have to motivate them to try to complete the plan short term and long
term. Together towards a specific goal, gradually the staff will work according to the
rules with a self-conscious spirit. In addition, the pressure of work and the personal
pride appears little chance of sabotage teamwork. Clearly shows the long-term plan
that his team was in charge. As a manager, you must constantly remind and
strengthen their spirit together towards these goals. In the course of work, many
employees often dominated and focused on immediate issues while ignoring the
long-term plan. When some members being deflected, the rest go to help them keep
up the work process to avoid problems later.
Clearly define the skills and responsibilities of each member
When shaking hands, building a team, if you have many choices, the assessment of
the strengths and weaknesses of each employee is an effective way to form a group
of employees based on skills elements. Around you there are always good people,

the group because of similarities with you, even it is your copies. You need to clearly

of any query.

Risk Analysis: In the risk analysis phase, a process is undertaken to identify risk
and alternate solutions. A prototype is produced at the end of the risk analysis
phase. If any risk is found during the risk analysis then alternate solutions are
suggested and implemented.
Engineering Phase: In this phase software is developed, along with testing at
the end of the phase. Hence in this phase the development and testing is done.
Evaluation phase: This phase allows the customer to evaluate the output of the
