“Successful communication occurs when people are on the same frame of
reference.”
TASK
In the era of integration, successful communication depends on shared understanding,
where individuals are on the same frame of reference. This is not just about speaking
the same language, but also correctly catching each other's perspectives, experiences,
and cultural contexts.
In my daily life, I've encountered instances where miscommunication arose due to
differing frames of reference. For example, while chatting with my best friend, we
were talking about some rumors of some K-pop singers and she mentioned an
acronym “OTP”. I did not get what she meant well, I considered “OTP” as “one time
password” and wondered “Is it related to these things?”. At the end, I had to ask her
for the meaning of this acronym, and she laughed at me and explained that it does not
mean as what I think, it has another meaning which is “one true pairing”. Honestly, I
was really surprised then.
Successful communication requires openness, empathy, and a willingness to step into
each other's shoes, eventually fostering harmony and mutual understanding. To
become a global leader, each of us needs to be mindful of our language choices and
understand that our nonverbal as well as spoken words can have a significant effect on
people from other cultural backgrounds.
