Have you ever thought why some smart people have problems communicating their ideas and opinions? Sometimes they become real bores. Oftentimes, we tend to avoid communicating with smart folks. Who is to blame?
One explanation will be to say that people around them are not smart enough to "get” what they are saying.
Unfortunately, in nine out of ten cases, that explanation won’t fly. However, if smart people start believing this, the confirmation bias will ensure that they will get enough proof to support their assessment.
One reason to blame others for their communication problems is the convenience it provides. If they put the responsibility of understanding what they are saying to the listener, they can simply run away from their responsibility for communication. It is easier to complain than to take that responsibility.
OK rather than contemplating further, here are a few reasons for the communication breakdown:
#1. Smartness automatically does not make one a good communicator
#2. Many smart people forget to listen
#3. Many times they skip "obvious” details.
#4. They use the weapon of communication destruction: Jargon
#5. Sometimes they forget about what else is required to execute the idea
#6. Sometimes they forget "timing.”
#7. Their past history lacks "follow through”
Are you smart? Have you ever experienced such ups and downs in your communication history? Have you always been successful at it? Have you ever avoided communication? Do you have trouble communicating with others? Who do you blame for a crack in communication?
