Trying to be a little more proactive are we?
Well, that may require a paradigm shift in how people communicate, when they reframe their thoughts in a more ‘outside the box’ fashion to effectively reach the target audience. That being said, at the end of the day, it’s difficult to stop after a while; it becomes almost intuitive to confuscate your speaking on an ongoing basis.I think it’s endemic from mission statements. Dilbert had an automatic mission statement generator that actually gives pretty good results. People just need to learn to speak more concisely.
Well.. at the end of the day, what really matters is that you’re intuitive on a going forward basis. With that being said, i think you know how i feel on this subject.alrighty then.
