Someone sent me this picture in a spam e-mail. I don't remember what the caption that went with the picture said exactly, but it went something like this: "When managers look down, all they see is sh*t; when workers look up, all they see are as*ho**s." You can fill in the blanks yourself!
This brought home to me even more how crucial effective formal and informal inter-personal communication is to organizations. If you have a group of people with good communication skills, they would get along better; they would be able to overcome psychological and social barriers; they would build better teams and work-groups.
More, working together would become so more productive and pleasurable without all the distrust and contempt that is traditionally rampant through the ranks. People would spend 8-12 hours every day so much less painfully if only they opened themselves up and recognized the importance of communication as the paramount soft-skill.
Here's to better communication skills that enable organisations to overcome traditional barriers and get people sharing and exploring the differences between them in a positive manner.
The new world and the world of the future are not meant for hierarchies that believe in sh***ing on the ones below them. Nor does it encourage hierarchies where the ranks either pick at or brown-nose those perched in positions above them!
