Communication is essential to any relationship. How many divorces happen because the couple feels they can no longer relate to one another? How many friendships have ended because shifting interests make it impossible to relate to the significant other? In this Forbes article, Mr. Murphy reminisces on the complexities and difficulties inherent when an employee and a boss can’t communicate with each other.
It’s an insightful read and one I highly recommend.
“One of the biggest problems that occurs between bosses and employees is a mismatch in their communication styles. When you speak and the boss doesn’t hear you, or vice versa, it can greatly hurt your chances of career success. And I’ve recently been working on research that shows that when bosses and employees have different communication styles, the employee can be 20-30% less engaged at work.”
