

Win – lose approach: here one person tries to win and defeat another – but other person also tries so, this is called win-lose approach (it is not good, replace it by win-win approach). Lose – lose approch: communication tectics, where both the parties loose due to withdrawal / adamancy etc. by both the parties. Example: a cheated customer doesn’t again come to the office of the comapany – both loose – customer & company. Compromise: communication tectics – where one person tries to help others too much or sacrifices too much - it is not sustainable.

Some common words . . .  Groupthink

: it is basic mistake in a group – where everyone agrees to one or a few dominant persons and say yes to whatever they say. This is most dangerous for an organisation. It should be discouraged and people should be encouraged to speak out confidently, candidly.

Some common words . . .  Prejudice:

it is also very dangerous in a group – where one / few persons have a negative opinion on another person based on caste / colour / race / other such illogical criteria  Feedbback: it is to receive reaction of the receiver regarding our communication. It enables the speaker to improve communication skills. www.afterschoool.tk
