Your co-worker recently left you a voicemail expressing extreme frustration with the lack of collaboration tools and has asked if there is something that can be done to help the organization select and implement a collaboration tool.
To address the problem of lack of collaboration software, you will reply to your co-worker to acknowledge their concerns and let them know you are planning to establish a task force to research effective collaboration tools and suggest replacement technology.

I’m working on a communications question and need support to help me learn.
Consider the guidelines offered in Chapter 4, for when speaking in civic organizations or contexts. Watch the following video and provide 4 examples. Should be at least two different guidelines (all four are present but some less obvious).
So for example you might have two instances of communicating and not antagonizing and two examples of focusing on today. If something stands out to you that doesn’t exactly fit one of the four guidelines you can include one example of that variety. Key is to have 4 examples. Then I want you to say if you agree or disagree with him.
