Money for Words

Communication isn’t just about touching a button and chairing a video conference call between two research stations in sub-zero temperatures at different poles of the earth. Communication is a loop of hearing, comprehending and replying. Good communication skills involve speaking less and rationally evaluating what you hear. So why are there so many communication problems in the office? Is it perhaps, intentional? Or purely accidental and occupational? Why don’t we get sick of hearing the same old stuff? Is it because we get paid for it?

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker.
A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker
– Buddha
