Module 7
Assignment 2
Publish a blog post that explains at least two
communication skills that are important to embody when leading policy change
and why. Then, describe your own strengths and/or opportunities for improvement
in relation to these skills. Justify your response by explaining how you came
to these conclusions.
Dear Colleagues,
Two communication
skills that I consider essential to embody when leading policy change are
patience and perseverance. These two skills or qualities are important because
policy change takes time. It may take years or decades to occur and it is
essential to be patient and to persevere in order for the change to happen. You
may have an extraordinary idea for change but if you don’t have the capacity to
be patient and persevere the change is never going to happen because it takes
time. I think I have an excellent proposal for change in my community of
practice but I also think that its completion may take some time, patience and
perseverance. I am not absolutely sure that the change in policy is going to
happen but I am going to try my best to use these qualities for the benefit of
our children.
