I wonder if all our woes really derive from poor communication. And we definitely see the tragic results of 'no' communication, that's how monsters like the Virginia Tech killer develop. Thanks for communicating, Jules! Your my new blog-buddy! We just had a book club meeting today and much of the conversation centered around… communication of all things.

We live in such a hustle and bustle world that communication suffers, and we as humans need communication to be fulfilled in our lives. Not just to be successful in business, but to be successful at being happy as well. Humans were made to interact with each other. We would all do well personally and professionally if we always seek to communicate the message clearly, verify we have received messages clearly and confirm receipt of said communication. It may seem like a waste of time to many, but I'd rather waste that time upfront than down the road fixing mixups that happened b/c the message was not (a) communicated clearly, (b) received properly or (c) both. Aside from the "feel good" stuff, it just makes for sound business sense as well. Good post! Doug, I would even go as far as to say that people in our society CRAVE communication.
