I found this miscommunication cartoon very interesting. It shows how a message going to different segments in a company can be interpreted differently by different people. It demonstrates that ambiguity of words can convey different meanings to people with different personalities.

Following are the useful tips to follow when communicating with a large group of people in several job segments:

• Giving the facts and the plan will benefit the detail-oriented personalities.
• Giving opinion will benefit all types of personalities.
• Asking questions will benefit confident problem solver personalities.
