Communication, in general

About communication...

A community (regardless where it resides - at work or home) will always depend on (and always have as major challenge) communication.
I ran, lately, into several situations in which lack of communication led to bad scenes or could have seriously impaired collaboration at certain levels. People tend to let primal individual instincts to take over during times in which team work is very important. We tend to forget that we are in the same boat and only together we can drive the boat to the final target. We tend to focus only on us, on our needs and forget about the rest. We tend to see or own interest and forget that there is a higher common goal; that there are several individuals just like us which need the same level of attention as we do...

Communication (effective communication, that is) is a big challenge everywhere. It depends on us, and us alone, to make sure that we take everything into consideration when we express ourselves in a debate. But, it is better to leave the professionals speak about this. They will do a better job than me: Daniel Goleman and Robert Sutton.

Enjoy and try to understand something from these two posts...
