End of week 5: Overcoming Obstacles to Communication in Organizations
In every organization, there's bound to be problems.. Obstacles one must face, cruelty, harsness, as well as STRESS and TENSION.. but hey, look at the bright side, the world is always changing, nothing stays the same, it's just a matter of time before things work the way we want them to.. The key is to never give to never look back and say "I should have done this better, I should have not done that", regret haunts, but what haunts the most is WALKING AWAY.. never walk away from your feers or problem, YOU MUST CONFRONT THEM.. look them in the eye and say, NOTHING'S GONNA GET IN MY WAY, that how you work things out, BY DEALING WITH THEM..
So how does one overcome obstacles in the communication organization? Simple, YOU TALK IT OUT!
How does one talk it out you may say? By facing what their problem is.. In an organization, there lies alot of people that come from a wide range of family background that can influence the way they think, the way they talk, the way they express themselves as well as the way they perceive someone, which can be very unacceptable to you and to everyone else.. But then again, what about originality? Isn't everyone suppose to be original in their own way? For sure! Definitely!
So how can one make it out of the organization alive and HAPPY? By talking to the people that's making you unhappy in the first place.. Talk to your superiors, talk to your subordinates, talk to whoever is equal to you, work things out, if you have a communication barrier, find some common ground that you two can agree on, trust me, confronting your fears always leads to positive results, even if it doesn't atleast you know you've tried.. I mean seriously, I'd definitely respect someone who has the guts to come up to me and to voice out their dissatisffaction, I might feel hurt or slightly mad at first [trust me, it's human nature, everyone gets mad every once in awhile], but I'd definitely respect and lookup as well as give props to the person for doing so..
Another way is to look at the world as a huge place, that nothing revolves around us, and that we must adjust to certain environments to survive, thats how we overcome obstacles especially in the communication in a specific organization. Adaptation and learning to accept new culture, something other than what we believe in or what we're brought up with.. Because as I've mentioned before, everyone different and everyone's got their own thinking and mindset, LIFE is a give-and-take situation, we win some, we lose some.. So be ready to accept defeat and to accept change, because it can be rewarding. Trust me, you don't have to give up all sense of good culture that lie deep within you, but try to go out of your comfort zone for once and you will see that there are others like you out there that's exploring that side of life for the first time too.. You're never alone!
My Story:
HOW do i OVERCOME obstacles to communicaton in an organization, in College, In my Martial Arts Team, and in My Pool and Rugby Team, how? I voice out my opinions, I accept whatever other have to say about it as long as I've said my part and done my part and if they can't accept me for me, then that's just something they have to deal with, but I still try to modify my style and attitude when it comes to group activities, because for something work out well you need to have an understanding, a mutual understanding, one where everyone can agree and fall on ;] life, that's what you need, you need your own life and you need to step up and be an adult, someone out there whose willing to take desperate measures as well as sacrifices just saw we can live in an AWESOME-CONFLICT-FREE-WORLD...
The word for the day:
Tell them who you are, and when times' are hard, TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM! ;]
