“All mis-communications are the result of differing assumptions,”

according to Dr. Jerry Ballard… and lead to frustration, pressure, and tension.

To get to the bottom of a frustrating, pressurized, tension-filled situation fast,

1. List your assumptions

2. Have the other person do the same

3. Compare lists

The basis of your mis-communication should be easy to see.

When you see where your assumptions differ ... discuss the differing assumptions until you are in agreement.

Your frustration, pressure, and tension will go away or be greatly reduced.
