Just my thoughts #0770

In our society, there are accepted ways to communicate messages. Messages that don’t follow this format are often rejected or ignored by the public. If CEOs or politicians don’t understand this communication format and fail to deliver their messages effectively, people won’t understand them, which can harm the relationship. Meetings like those of accounting, the board of directors, and general shareholders meetings are examples of these communication formats. We need to learn the correct format first so we can express ourselves clearly. You could attend a swimming competition in a suit, but since it would seem funny, a leader must understand this formality well to be effective. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0140

In September 1999, NASA’s unmanned Mars climate probe “MCO” exploded in Mars’ orbit. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin set up the data unit as a “yard,” but NASA mistook it as a “meter.” The MCO entered the atmosphere of Mars 100 km below the original orbit and exploded in friction. Communication error had blown away $ 125 million. With this opportunity, NASA decided that the units used in space development were “meters”. A slip of the tongue in business doesn’t end just a mistake accidentally. It must undoubtedly damage the “cash flow”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
