While I try to let my thoughts be taken captive by the Almighty, ie do not go off on irrational trips, it is a whole different ball game to be in the midst of those who are communicating in the realm of ‘who they think you are’ and ‘who they think they are’.
It tends to be a hit / miss type of communication and very tedious and to say the least, very unhealthy.
The complication of communication is never in the techniques, the choice of words or even intonation / volume. It is in the subconscious of the communicating parties. It is:
What is below the iceberg of one person communicating with what is below the iceberg of another person! Or what is the entire history and environment of one person interacting with the equivalent of the other person.
Many choose to communicate at the surface level to avoid such pains. Only where the communication is with rational like-minded persons, does meaningful exchange occur.
Even with Human Resource practice, it assumes that every staff is a rational thinking individual. Of course, it has to, otherwise it would be impossible to run an operation.
However, we all know too well, that the irrational does exist in the corporate world and all reason and logic will not help. Love and patience might be more appropriate tools for irrationality.
