WILDLIFE 0002 <br />I Dlvis9onW Cwespandwm Only <br />STATE OF COLORAOO <br />DIVISION OF WILDLIFE <br />pEPAmhew OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />DATE: December 9, 1994 <br />To: Eddie Kochman <br />FROM: David Langlois <br />SUBJECT: Agenda to be added 12113 <br />I understand the first item on the agenda for the December 13 meeting is the approval <br />of the agenda. Please consider adding the following item to the agenda: Improved <br />communication and team norms. I would like to share my ideas and elicit the <br />group's perspectives about the type of communication styles that we use and how it <br />influences our performance. It seems to me there is room for improvement. The <br />current situation is' Verbal attacks are the norm when conflicting ideas are presented." <br />This is as much a part of the cost of doing business as the water and phone bills are. <br />Another way of expressing the idea would be: <br />Actual Group Performance = Potential Performance - Faulty Group Process <br />I am just an amateur on this sort of thing. However, 1 would like a chance to play a <br />small role on the team in this way. I believe you can agree that last week's debate over <br />meeting attendance shows we have an interest in this topic. Perhaps we could suggest <br />an idea or two regarding communication that would allow us to function at a higher <br />level. By the 13th I think I could have a 10 minute presentation prepared. Perhaps an <br />additional 20 minutes for group review would be appropriate. Would you please send <br />this to those you think may attend to allow them to prepare their thoughts and ideas? <br />Thanks. <br />c. Peter Evans <br />Bob cowry <br />
