improve your communication skills
When it comes to communication , we all tend to think that we are pretty good at it. The truth is that even those of us who are good communicators are not as good as we think. This overestimation of our communication skills is magnified when we interact with the people with whom we spend the most time. Researchers at the University of Chicago School of Business put this theory to the test, and what they discovered is surprising. In the study, the researchers paired the subjects with people they knew well and then again with people they had never met. The researchers found that people who knew each other well did not understand each other better than those they had just met. Worse still, participants frequently overestimated their communication skills, and this was more pronounced with people they knew well.
