When you have to think.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the tenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

The infra-chan­nel, the chan­nel of reflec­tion. Obvious­ly, if we are aware of this chan­nel and our inter­lo­cu­tor wishes to com­mu­ni­cate with us through it, we can lis­ten in and play along. On the other hand, if we don’t know about this chan­nel and we use it with us, we could cry out for mani­pu­la­tion. If we know the chan­nel exists and see that someone is trying to com­mu­ni­cate with us through it, we could turn a deaf ear to it under the pre­text that we were not born yes­ter­day and that nothing will change our mind.

A par­ti­cu­lar chan­nel, the oppo­site of the supra-chan­nel with bru­tal impo­si­tions, the infra-chan­nel is based on open­ness, trust and sha­ring a com­mon goal. If we agree that our team wishes to achieve the same goal, it is pos­sible that our res­pec­tive world­view may blur signals and thoughts and prevent us from bene­fi­ting and sha­ring our ideas with our col­leagues. My expe­rience tells me that we are more often than not clum­sy in ali­gning our visions and that this leads to a phe­no­me­nal amount of loss. The most com­mon­ly used solu­tion to this pro­blem? The supra-chan­nel! Why seek consen­sus when you can order and force movement?
