It’s very important how one
simple statement can interpret another person’s actions. For example, if you
take a simple instruction, there are often hidden meanings. What is the benefit
of doing this? Is this action simply an act of kindness, or is it a distraction
to divert attention from something else? Attitude and tone of voice is also
important; a false or care-free voice will often lose the urgency of the
intended action. And the wording is crucial; some people will miss key words in
interpreting your idea, thinking that the instruction is unanimous and is not
open to adoption. Often someone will seem supportive and write a very
convincing argument, but you have to analyse it carefully so as not to divert
the idea from the original purpose. You may have to negotiate neutral ground
and set conditions to allow these people on board. So be careful what you say…
