What is Communication

What behaviors does this person exhibit that make him or her effective? Would you want to model some of your own communication behaviors after this person? Why or why not?

I would have to say my mom. I either take my mom to the store every week or I go for her. She writes a list before she goes to the store to make sure she doesn’t forget anything. When I go for her she writes me a list. What we do is to sit down and go over the list before I leave. She writes down every detail; name brand, size, and color, etc… this way I don’t get anything wrong. I kind of like the idea because most people shop brand name or designer. My mom shop sales and if I get to the store and the item is sold out she says get a rain check. If I see something of better quality, better price, or even better quantity I will call her or bring it to her attention if we are together and we negotiate price.
I am very organized and it because of my mom. Everything has a place and every place has a thing.
Whether communication is verbal or written, it is always good to know exactly what the sender is communicating to the receiver. “The rules of grammar, spelling and capitalization all apply” (lol) (Chapter 1, page 18)
