Post #2 - Principles of intercultural/interpersonal communication

 I'm Not Listening!

What I just talked about was a recap of last week. In my opinion, it is directly relevant to what we are supposed to discuss this week.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,
Therefore a truly effective team would be one whereby the members are able to bring out each individual's potential to the highest, and at the same time make up for each individual's weaknesses. It is difficult for a person to realize his or her own weaknesses. Hence, it is important for team members to get to know each other better, so as to be able to work in a team more effectively.
