Lack of communication in organisation (communication assumetry) = absence of caringness

I had a personal development talk in AIESEC today. I gave some feedback to the work of AIESEC Tartu local commitee. What I am not happy about is the lack of communication or let`s say communication assumetry - not delivering the right information at the right time to the right people.

After having talk with Ege I thought a lot about this fenomen. I tried to find out - why is it so. I reached the routs of this fenomen.

The reason is the absence of caringness. When someone wants to ensure the well being of other person, then it will come automatically that the information will be delivered to the right person. Communication is the tool. Communication as it is, is not the final goal. No one communicates because of the communication itself. If people would have the ability to read what other think, there would be no need for the communication as it exists nowadays. And when you think about the well being of other person - communication comes as a natural part of the process.

Care(=communicate) about the people around you!

Who are we?

Today I had a great experience. I got a chance to verbalize a reasonable example of one of my basic beliefs - WE CAN BE ANYTHING.

We were discussing this and that - me, my grandmom and 2 more granddaughters of my grandmom. I was mentioning that I have a home task in Self-Presentation and Impression Management. The home task contains of 3 self-reflection writings - me, ideal me and how others see me.

Grandmom asked me - how can I know who I am if I don`t listen what others say about me. I strongly opposed her. How can others know my values, my beliefs if I don`t communicate it out? Thus others cannot judge what they are not seeing. Then... a reasonable example crossed my mind and which I expressed. What if I get different perspectives from others? What if one person says I am stupid and an other says I am smart? Then who am I? There might be a lot of different opinions from different people and which one a person should identify with oneself.

Here comes the answer - you can be anything you decide to be. People are not deciding for you who to be. You are the master of your life.

I am discovering that people are a great source of learning. Even if they are not sharing the same values and believes as you do.
