The skill that I am accustomed to and is the easiest for me is Active Listening. This tends to be ingrained in my being because of my military background while serving twenty years in the U.S. Navy. When someone is speaking to me, I tend to branch out through my surroundings and ascertain my environment from more than one perspective of thought. Comprehending the complexity of the task, and relaying that to all members in a group are critical for the group success. Most importantly a leader needs to be aware that all in the group are valuable and knowledgeable. Looking at other signs such as consent, voice and body language tell the story of how a person wants to communicate according to Jacobs, Schimmel, Masson, & Harvill (2016).

The skill I have the hardest time with would be Self-Disclosure.In the past of talking with my sailors I would run into peculiar moments of conveying experiences in which I would give out too much information.I found this out within leading groups in the military and civilian environments is totally different. Disclosing life and my experiences tend to get me on a ramble kind of communication, which causes confusion.Therefore, realizing that I am not perfect and I need to learn from doing and understand that I do not have to be perfect will help others in the group trust me according to Corey, Corey & Haynes (2014).
