I use to think Miss. Communication was an employee at one of
my companies. Whomever this Miss.
Communication was, she caused a lot of internal issues that bled out
externally. Well, here’s the deal – we are all Miss. Communication at one point
or another in life and in business.
If you want to avoid simple or major miscommunication
blunders, simply start by closing the door when having discussions in the
office. Most gossip starts when one employee overhears you starting something
to another employee in an office conversation. Either they walk by and catch
the very end of a sentence or they are not there for the entire conversation to
consider context. So, avoid open ears creating lots of problems by simply shutting
the door when speaking one on one with someone.
This brings me to my next point, speaking one on one. Do not
email anything that is considered important to someone you can meet with face
to face. People can interpret tone wrong
in an email or text message, which will lead to huge issues that don’t need to
be blow up. Or, if you are going to say
something terrible, you don’t want it in writing. You do want to say it in person so you can
address the issue, find a solution and move on.
Try to avoid a Miss. Communication from appearing and
carrying stories in your office by simply communicating properly.
Until tomorrow,
Coco the CEO
