4 Consequences of Failed Communication

Communication is seldom noticed, until it fails.

Last week, the staff of Cornerstone went on a staff retreat. One of the things we discussed was communication between the staff.
It’s not that we necessarily often fail in this area,
in fact, we usually don’t.

However, communication and it’s importance often gets over-looked until it is a problem.

Whether we’re communicating with a family member, an employee, a co-worker, or people we lead, we can’t forget to focus on communication.

Think about the effects of bad communication….

• Lost effectiveness.
• Misunderstanding.
• Unnecessary conflict.
• Severed relationships.

Never be afraid of over-communication, it seldom occurs.

Usually, when we think we’ve beat something to death in communicating it,
we probably need to say it a few more times.

So, let’s open the lines of *communication* :)
