How to communicate efficiently?
I had a terrible meeting yesterday, because no one agreed on the purpose of the meeting. What’s worse, an new WOW pup up, and only 2 colleagues knew it, but nobody explained it and made others understood. The whole meeting was a hot mess. I didn’t know how to handle that situation, or how to resolve it, even now I still don’t find out a solution. It seems crazy and hard to understand that it happened among so many high educated people. After that I have deeper understanding that communication cost too much in a organization.

How to communicate efficiently?

I had a terrible meeting yesterday, because no one agreed on the purpose of the meeting. What’s worse, a new WOW (way of working) popped up, and only 2 colleagues knew it, but nobody explained it or made sure the others understood. The whole meeting was a hot mess. I didn’t know how to handle that situation, or how to resolve it, and even now I still can’t think of a solution. It seems crazy and hard to understand that it happened among so many highly educated people. After that I have a deeper understanding that communication costs too much within an organization.

to find out = to learn something which we previously did not know, to discover

E.g.                 I just found out that I am adopted.
I find these shoes a bit expensive.
