Here are the MISTAKES - in no particular order\u2026

Choosing the WRONG MEDIUM \u2013 usually NOT choosing face to face or telephonic communication as opposed to something else. The more important the message, the more you should be inclined to make it face-to-face.

Lack of CLARITY

So many messages are totally unclear, ambiguous, or incomplete. Several examples are provided during the discussion.

Lack of REPETITION
