> their failure at communication So much to unpick in that statement. The potential for communication differences in culture, gender, and personality to outweigh job performance. That communication is a two way street, but poor communication is often attributed to one party. The tendency for the promotion process to favour “upward focused” communication and communicators. The fact that objective performance measurement, which could ameliorate some of these problems, is a joke. It’s true that communication skills are essential, but laying the blame on poor performers just perpetuates problems.
