I Don't Think You Get My Point: The 5
Hurdles to Effective Communication
I Don't Think You Get My Point: The 5
Hurdles to Effective Communication
06/22/2005 02:38 AM

"The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has
occurred."
-- George Bernard Shaw
If Shaw is right, what can we do about it? We spend over half of our
working life, and a considerable portion of all our waking hours,
engaged in some form or another of communication, yet for all our
practice most of us seem to be very poor at it. The problem, I think,
is that it's hard to learn from your mistakes when you don't know
you're making them.
I've often watched and listened to someone try valiantly to make some
critical point about which they are both passionate and informed, and
then when I talk with their audience immediately afterwards I've
discovered that almost no one got it. I've been equally astonished at
some of the comments and e-mails my weblog articles have provoked that
indicate the reader has not understood in the least the point I was
trying to make.
But I'm less stressed and self-critical about that than I used to be,
because I've learned that the miscommunication often wasn't my (or
anyone's) fault. I've come to appreciate that there are five major
hurdles to effective communication, and you have to vault them
all or your communication will fail. Here they are:
- Your point must be explainable using language. This
might seem obvious, but most of our important life learnings are not taught through language. We
learn for the most part by doing
(and by making mistakes), not by listening to someone tell us
something. Try to explain to someone (or write a manual to explain)
how
to ride a bicycle. Try to describe the difference in taste (or smell!)
between a Merlot and a Shiraz. Much of our knowledge is instinctive,
and much of what we learn is subconscious or unconscious. The
comprehension 'bandwidth' of oral and written language is surprisingly
narrow, and language is much better at conveying some things than
others. Language itself is an artificial construct, a feeble model to
try to depict reality abstractly. What's worse, we may have a shared
vocabulary of no more than a few hundred words with our audience, and
their subjective
connotationof
many of these shared words may be completely different from ours. I
once listened to two people on a train argue vociferously for an hour
over what strategy their organization should pursue, only to discover
that they had a completely different idea of what the word 'strategy'
meant. Why should we be so surprised at language's limitations?
There
are a variety of devices that can be used to push the idea you want to
communicate across the line from incomprehensible to comprehensible --
most notably metaphors, analogies, stories and conversations
(iterative
communications) -- but we would be best to realize that there are many
explanations and teachings that language is just not equipped to do.
When we love to teach, it is hard to acknowledge how much cannot be
taught with language. Maslow said "When your only tool is a hammer,
every problem looks like a nail." (That's a metaphor: did it help you
understand this hurdle?)If your point is not explainable using
language, take your audience out of the lecture hall and into the
laboratory and show them
instead.
- You must be able to articulate your point clearly and
persuasively.
If you've vaulted the first hurdle, this next one is just as tough.
There are two parts to it -- clarity (rational appreciation) and
persuasiveness (emotional appreciation). Although debates are
supposedly models of persuasiveness, their focus is really on clarity.
Clarity is tough enough to do, which is why the aforementioned
techniques like stories and conversations and metaphors are so vital.
Persuasiveness is a much subtler achievement, one that requires both
personal conviction and an understanding of and empathy for the
audience. I don't know whether this is a lost art, or if we have just
given up trying. I see a lot of sermonizing (in churches, on talk
radio
and in the editorial pages) but no real persuasion
-- sermonizers preach only to the choir, and change no one's mind.
They
only reassure. True persuasion takes an appreciation of why the
audience doesn't agree with you now. It involves tact, diplomacy,
consensus-seeking, compromise, and creative thinking. Such skills tax
our patience and attention span. It is usually easier to use power and
deceit than persuasion to get what you want. So it's not surprising
that those who want to change people's minds are more preoccupied with
getting power and perpetrating myths than with appreciating other
perspectives and thinking through how to win people over in a
non-coercive and non-manipulative way. The only way over these hurdles
is through a ton of research (face to face as well as online),
openness, attention skills, empathy and an enormous amount of
practice.
- Your audience must be ready to listen.
If your audience is ignorant of the lessons of history, or complacent
about the state of the world, trying to teach them about the
importance
of separation of church and state, or the steps they need to take to
reduce their contribution to global warming, is like trying to teach
calculus to pre-schoolers. Your audience needs an appropriate
intellectual and conceptual foundation, and an informed sense of what
is urgent and what is important, before they will be ready to listen.
Daniel Dennett says "On any important topic, we tend to have a rough
idea of what we believe to be true, and when someone provides the
words
we want to hear, we tend to fall for it, no matter how shoddy the
arguments". If your audience doesn't think they need what you're
selling, they probably won't buy. Until your audience is ready for
what
you have to tell them, you're wasting your time, and theirs. There's
only one thing you can do to overcome this hurdle -- pick (and invite)
your audience carefully.
- Your audience must be listening.
They're probably not. They're thinking about the cutie they met last
night or sitting next to them, or what they have to do next, or what
they'd rather be doing now than listening to you. They may be
multi-tasking. they're almost certainly daydreaming. So you need to
get
their attention. To do that you need to distract them from all their
other distractions. The best way to do that is not by impressing them
with the importance or urgency or cleverness of what you have to say.
It's to entertain them. The
work 'entertain' means literally to hold attention. That means start,
and pepper what you're saying, with interesting stories, amusing
anecdotes or jokes, and facts. That means talking in an animated
manner. That means relating to the audience in a personal way that
keeps them engaged -- first names, eye contact, relating something
about them. That means giving them something. That means paying
attention to the audience, understanding why they're not listening
(perhaps because their sidebar conversation is more interesting,
urgent
or important to them), and drawing them gently but powerfully back in.
That doesn't mean criticizing
them for not paying attention -- that's blaming them for your
inability
to keep their interest. How many of us are good at doing all this? I
don't see many hands. We need to go back to school on this, and learn
how to be better presenters (even if we're only 'presenting' to one
person) -- not just more prepared and articulate, more entertaining as
well.
- Your audience must be able to understand your point from their
frame of reference.
This is not the same as point 3. Even if they're ready to listen,
they're coming to whatever you're talking about from a very different
place, and their brains, like yours, is wired by history of personal
experience. Lakoff says: "Frames trump facts. All of our concepts are
organized into conceptual structures called frames (which may include
images and metaphors) and all words are defined relative to those
frames. Conventional frames are pretty much fixed in the neural
structures of our brains. In order for a fact to be comprehended, it
must fit the relevant frames." That means even if they're ready for
your message, even if they need to hear what you have to say, you
still
need to say it in a way they can understand. How do you do that? Spend
lots of time talking with people whose frames are very different from
yours, and practice understanding their frames and explaining things
in
their context. And rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
All of this isn't as hard as it might sound. We have an enormous
number
of opportunities to practice vaulting each of these hurdles every day.
Mostly, we just need to pay better attention, be more conscious of
what we're doing wrong, and work on all those bad communication habits
we've picked up. And these five hurdles apply as much to written
communications as oral ones. As I worked through this list, I cringed
at how much work I have to do at improving my own communications. So
I'm guessing it must be a pretty good list.
