We Must Communicate In Business!

Business Communication! Oh what a glorious thing! Without it, firms would be drained down the toilets. With it, firms climb their own Mt. Everest in the corporate Himalayas. The simple fact of the matter is that organizations cannot function without organizational communication. People need face-to-face interaction. We need documents like memos. We need presentations like power-points.  But above all, we need cross-cultural understanding. In our ever increasingly globalized world we need to understand more than just the words of another. We must understand their gestures, facial features, and overall expressions. Management can function with its hierarchical chain of demand. But a firm will only thrive under the tutelage of collaborative communication. In the word's of the Lego Movie, "everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team".We meet and we work not only to set goals and standards, but also to listen to the concerns and inquiries of others. We learn, network, and get to work. All else is arbitrary detail.
