Hi Reader,

In a typical conversation, there can be many different messages:
  • What you mean to say...
  • What you actually say...
  • What the other person hears...
  • What the other person thinks he hears...
  • What the other person says...
  • What you think the other person says...
It's no wonder why communication problems exist at every level and in every organization!

That's why this issue of Innovations is dedicated to communication. You will find great advice to help you become a more effective communicator and get better results from your team.

I hope you enjoy these articles!

Best regards,
