Abstract:
Human beings have a proclivity to garble other people’s feedback to fit their own views. We are often misconstrued by people around, regardless of our efforts to communicate clearly. Communication is vital, however, the irony is that people have a remarkably tough time when it comes to knowing what exactly they are communicating. We assume that other individuals see us as we see ourselves, and that they see us as we truly are. However, the uncomfortable truth is that our daily interactions are often shaped by subtle biases that alters how other people perceive us and also alters our perceptions of them. When people don’t come across the way they intend to, it becomes vexing, resulting in disconnect that may lead to big problems in their personal and professional lives. Heidi Grant Halvorson, author and social psychologist clearly states that “the aim of this book is to facilitate an understanding of how other people really see us, and give us tools to alter our words (when necessary), and actions so that you can send the signal you want to send”.
