People are emotional beings

August 30th, 2006 | Category: Skills

People are emotional beings. Such a simple, yet powerful phrase. In my current work environment it is also refreshing and almost revolutionary.

Understand that your co-workers are emotional beings, like you, and you can start being able to connect with them.

I won’t claim to take credit for this, but I recommend you read more on Malcom O Munro’s excellent blog:

Welcome

I believe that effective communication is essential for succeeding any major change. If the stakeholders do not understand the change and do not have the necessary information to change, then how can we expect a project to succeed?

This blog is a notepad for my personal learning curve. It may contain notes from reading I find useful and relevant, good ideas I pick up from time to time and lessons learned from my own professional experience.
