In my daily life activity I meet people of different characters in communication.... the best way for me to understand and pass a message is to be flexible and if I don't have a enough time to listen to you I apologise reschedule for us to talk more about whatsoever you want to talk about.

First they build communication relationship and create room for sharing options and best way to get the work done....Alex is people-oriented and Lin is content-oriented

Clear and infective communication is key the key to every well organized projects or events....I understand that Claire and Min li are find it difficult to communicate because of individual difference and too personal reasons...as a team leader you have to balance action and people-oriented communication style to pass a message.

meeting someone for the first time should be about building trust, learning about where the person is coming from and how the person understand things....these will foster the relationship with your colleagues or whomsoever you meeting for the first time.

I apply three of them where is necessary....for instead meeting someone for the first time...i do more of listening and ask question than arguing or assuming.

wonderful experience so far

I agreed with @Yaelle Souza words...''To meet a person, both of you have to eat a kilo of salt". Living together opens our eyes to certain aspects of each other's personality that we hadn't seen before. That's why it's important to search for qualities, because it's much easier to point out human’s faults and make stereotypes. Time reveals who people are and...

Yes. You're welcome

@KathleenVaughan Ok. In most cases i do more of listing than reacting...giving her the satisfaction of been right at that moment...then point out the right ways as form of suggestions without making her feel wrong...while she's.

Lack of communication and no follow up...she works base on assumption...

Agida Samuel Odala made a comment
In situations like this I always remained calm...to analyse your actions, if can't find out why you reacted that way...I do approach you to know the better way to do or saying it without been offensive...and if I am at the receiving end...i do express my unsatisfactory, and let you know the best way to do things.

Most often we are a reflection of other people actions or decisions.... consciously unconsciously.
Conformity bias; we are influenced by the opinions and perceptions of those around you, and we act similar to them without even knowing. Just as the example given, we tend to give to charity or act in environmentally conscious ways when we see others do the...

Agida Samuel Odala made a comment
the way to challenge that...is to learn about people around....find out more information, get fact not assumption....learn more why the behave the wat they do.....if is the way of their culture respect it...or find better way to do the same thing without offending them.....respect each other opinions.

I agreed with this definition "Policy is a set of visions and outcomes, which allow stakeholders and decision makers to take and make actions that affect a group of people - or all people" Policy should be for the people by the people, it should speak for the people and the current situation facing the country or institution.
