The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. – George Bernard Shaw
How we see things defines how we deal with them. This makes it even more important that we uncover and understand our own biases, expectations, and agendas as well as our preferred communication methods and styles before we focus on using our positions to improve weakened performance and communication techniques in others. We position you to better use your style to deliver an effective message and get your team and colleagues to support and advance projects and build relationships.
