Question

Tyrone was recently promoted to manager. Although he used to take advice from his peers, he seems no longer willing to listen to any input from them or his boss, and is determined to run the project how he thinks best. This is an example of which personal barrier to communication?
A.) variation in interpreting informationB.) an oversized egoC.) a tendency to judge others' messagesD.) variable skills in communicating effectivelyE.) an inability to listen with understanding

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) an oversized ego

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is an example of an oversized ego. An ego is an individual's sense of self-importance. When Tyrone got promoted his ego enlarged, and he now believes himself to be way more important than his peers and thus no longer listens to them, since he believes that he knows everything and that his peers no very little compared to him.
