Communication In Business

Q Steve Reichs was on a month-long assignment at his company’s office in Pusan, Korea. Wanting to catch the attention of his supervisor who was standing across the room, Steve “crooked” his index finger at him in an innocent gesture to have him come closer. Not only did Steve get his supervisor’s attention, he so infuriated his boss that Steve came very close to being sent back to the home office. Based on what we have discussed in this chapter. What do you think was the problem?

An effective communication can be considered as an important part of the business and the organizational system. For the case of Steve, his gesture of pointing index fingers to ask his supervisor to come close went completely wrong. Such behavior in the workplace cannot be accepted at all. A suitable communication involving verbal communication, written communication and body language is needed in the organizational system. Otherwise, there will be a severe problem just like Steve encountered in his professional career.
