Communication

I don't know if communication makes the world go 'round, but poor communication can make it come to a screeching halt.

Whatever the context - between individuals, among groups, in business settings, whatever - communication must be a full cycle event in order to be valid. Assumptions can't be made, "we've always done it this way" doesn't work, and hearing isn't always understanding.

How we communicate - or don't - is a critical issue for leaders. It is a learned skill that needs constant practice and continual refinement. I don't think you will ever perfect it, but should always strive for perfection.

How's your CQ - communications quotient?
