We all can relate to that... Crazy, isn't it? There is this rush to technology that gets everyone in an organization so excited that most of them forget that this is just a different way to communicate. In my presentations I always reinforce these 6 principles of communication that we rush to forget…

1 – Open and transparent is best – We can all relate to a story about “hidden agendas”

2 – Two way conversation; both talking and listening -We all have an friend who talks about himself/herself

3 – Listening is more important than talking – An anecdote about 'active listening' rings well with those who have professional managerial training

4 – Everyone has a different style of communication – We all know someone who ONLY emails

5 – Adding more people requires more organization – Talk about a meeting that spun out of control because of too many people

6 – The message is impacted by the method – Ever miscommunicated over email? We all can relate to that…
