This assignment include one Initial post and two responses posts.This week’s readings in BWS Ch 5 (attached below) outlines several “Negative News Pitfalls,” or common mistakes made by novice business writers. Reflect on this list and rank the top three pitfalls, based on your own personal experience or those of others. You might also choose to conduct a bit of research, if you wish. Share your rankings with the class and explain the reasoning behind each item.Other questions to consider: What strategies did you use to narrow down the list? How might the “Negative News Pitfalls” aid you in completing the practice exercises? How might this list aid you in the workplace as a new professional?Please respond to the two following posts:Student A’s post: “Anthony Renteria, There are many mistakes that could be made when delivering negative news, the list makes some good points of what to avoid. When delivering negative news to colleagues, you need to be respectful and empathic of the situation, ensure clarity, and be descriptive; At the end of the day you don’t want to burn bridges and have animosity between colleagues. I chose being more dramatic than emphatic, providing too little information, and clouding your purpose as the top three pitfalls, since these are cautions that I would want a colleague delivering me negative news to avoid. Instead of creating confusion, the messenger should be clear and concise about their message to ensure the colleague understands issue. The messenger needs to describe the issue and the factors around them, the message should include important details such as, the issue, the reason, and the resolution. Finally, an important aspect of delivering negative news is the tone of message, an empathetic message tells the reader you care about the colleague and the negative situation surrounding him/her. The list should be taken into consideration by all professionals when delivering bad news in the workplace, there are many mistakes that can be made without it. “Student B’s post: “Among the twelve “Negative News Pitfalls” listed, I believe that seeming aloof, burning bridges, and setting (possibly) unrealistic standards are the three most worst tactics one could use.Firstly, seeming aloof or “better you than me” can be extremely disrespectful to employees and other coworkers due to the fact that the writer does not seem to understand the severity of the situation. Even within minor set backs for those being written to, it still does not represent a professional or empathetic tone and can make these workers resent the person delivering the news.Secondly, burning bridges is never a good tactic to take, since no one knows what this person being written to may rise to or if they take action against the writer or company as a whole. This may lead to extreme resentment and can tarnish the professional appearance of the company as well. In times of angry communication, it is important to keep a calm and professional writing style and be respectful even when it is not given in order to keep communication open.Lastly, setting possibly unrealistic standards is never an appropriate road to take. Creating a tone of hopefulness may seem like the right thing to do when giving difficult information, though it paints a picture in the receivers mind that this may be temporary or not as bad as it seems, when in reality, the issue at hand is much larger than it seems. ”
