It is easy to get stuck in your own view and opinion. I say, try to step out, put yourself in the other person's shoes. Ask yourself, "Why may they be behaving that way? Could I communicate with them differently?" I like to remind myself there may be something, a circumstance going on, that could also motivate them to act in that way.This week I sit down with Salma Mazrui-Watt the CEO of Kibeni LTD, and one of the topics we dive into is the potential hiccups that can arise when different work styles mesh together. In my time as a leader I have seen teams that have dedicated time to learn the best way to over come miscommunication particularly amongst people with different personality types and today's episode gives incredibly useful tools on how to handle that. "We can be quick to jump to conclusions. It is easy to put thoughts on your mind about what someone else is thinking. I encourage anyone to stop jumping to judgement. Instead, open up, and understand where someone else is coming from."In today's climate, with virtual communication being at the forefront for so many businesses, the lessons in this episode are vital. Miscommunication can happen easily, especially when we communicate online and I am excited to share this episode with you! Big thank you to our team and sponsor at Humentum!
