Every day we practice and apply communication and yet it is still one of the biggest topics to polish and train in our education or work. As I would interpret great communication comes with great wisdom, I would like to share a few thoughts I have learned from my sales and team-leading career.

Communication is always a challenge

Every person perceives and understands messages differently. Every actions and message we express are at risk of misunderstanding or misinterpretation. There’s always a person (Or a group of people) in our lives we would label as,

I don’t understand why he/she would think in that way.

Why is he/she behaving like that? Especially he is aware of the stake in this project.

We often find it difficult to communicate with this person and as a result, we will be avoiding collaborating/working with him. Or to a worse extent, carrying his ass in the project and working overtime.

So, what exactly went wrong?
