“They didn’t communicate well.” “We need to get better at communication.” “Send a communication.” “There was a lack of communication.”
The word gets tossed around A LOT. You can bet it will be part of the problem anytime something goes wrong.
It seems like it should be pretty clear what it means. But are we all reading the same playbook?
The short answer we came up with was transmitting information either verbally, nonverbally or both from one person to another.
Who is responsible to making sure a communication is clear? That was a bit muddier. Ideally both parties but ultimately it is whoever cares the most. And sometimes that means we think we understand when in actuality we don’t.
I talk about that problem when I give the presentation, “Why What You Said Isn’t What They Heard” and in the five hour over five weeks course “Better Conversations.” (Message me for details for either.)
What does “communication” mean to you and who do you think is responsible when it goes sideways?
