The second part of this course examines communication and team building. Your success as a supervisory LPN may depend to a large degree on your ability to communicate effectively. There are many ways to communicate, whether they be spoken or non-spoken, and many styles in which to do so. Developing an understanding of your predominant communication style, the ways others may communicate, and barriers to effective communication will help you construct a communication style that will motivate others and help you find success in managing conflict.
