Week 11 - Two sided communication

I read an article which gave an example of an college and its dean who took also the decisions on his own and never took any ideas from the faculty members. The dean held meeting just to let the faculty members know what was to be done. The meetings were just for him to speak and others to listen, he never asked for opinions and suggestions that faculty members would have. This lead to a lot of communication gap among the faculty members and the dean and the culture became such that no one spoke or had any suggestions on the issues and people were not as much involved with the matters that were concerned to the college. By giving this example my point is that, it is very important to have an exchange of information from both the side. It is important to take suggestions and encourage debates on topics so that better results can be obtained
