It is characteristic of people to make communication mistake in the influence of feelings, or because they do not know how to build relationships. In the field of business, they made mistakes in the communication can lead to serious financial problems. How to avoid from communication mistakes while contacting with partners and to remain the winner?
Communication mistake number 1: “Never argue. Always stay with your point of view, and Basta! “
The author of this statement, Bernard Shaw, of course, joked, but people who are sticking to this position of life, unfortunately, often have a lack of self-irony. It is not worth having long discussions with them, because they will have an iron response to all arguments: “You did not convince me, and you never will, because of this simple reason that I am right always!”.
It is hard to admit to yourself similar mistakes, because it is much easier and more enjoyable to defend your ego. However, as a wise and educated person should acknowledge that he/ she make a mistake by refusing to take a different view. During the conversation at least two egos are participating, which can be combined under one heading – “we”. By stubbornly insisting on your ego, you can take a huge risk, as you may be excluded from the dialogue, in which case you will have to continue the conversation with yourself, but we all have well known that alone you cannot create a business. It is not worth insisting on your truth and therefore, lose your partners, as it nowadays can cost too much. You want to succeed – learn to contact and negotiate with people, even if you are certain that your partner of conversation is not right!
Communication mistake number 2: I am never wrong!
Mistakes should be acknowledged soon, and best until your opponent has not turned to his advantage. Your mistake sooner or later will come to light, so it is best not to worsen the situation further on even more, by making a mistake in communication, namely, by sitting and ” and keeping mum” or trying to hide your mistake. Better to “expose” yourself with dignity and a smile on your face, then letting your competitors to do it for you. If you will get stubborn and not step back from your false ambitions, then you will only damage your reputation: you will make mistakes, and you do not know how to recognize the fact that you were wrong. Usually in the business environment all know each other very well, so the reputation of the stubborn donkey, which is devoid with no particle of self-criticism. You absolutely do not need!
Communication mistake number 3: Pass over to particulars of a person
With communications related mistakes not only in personal lives but also in a business lead to one and the same result – dislike and even rising hate. Who will like, if instead of rightly criticizing made mistakes, you begin to swear your conversation partner?! Therefore, for all time divide your position and the personality of an opponent, and should never touch the personality of the opponent while you express criticism. Even if your partner or a competitor is not right, do not drive him/ her into the corner using some personal information! You can and should criticize the results and consequences of the work, but not the intimate life, motives of behavior or human nature. Respect the private life of other people!
Do not ruin even the most hated competitors, because, no matter how strange it may sound, but it is likely that tomorrow you will have to face these people in a different sphere of life, as an ancient folk wisdom says: “Do not spit in the well from which you will have to drink “. Who knows, perhaps ahead of you is that well, so give a chance to the opponent to prove his/ her right, and, possibly, this person will be grateful to you for it. Conflicts, disputes, fights, threats and intimidation of competitors – it will not lead to anything good, so let it stay in the past, take a bet on positive communication, learn to contact with people by respecting them, and then you will also be respected. The calculation is very simple but very effective. This is all three is a common communication mistake.
