VIDEO: The Assumption Gap

VIDEO: The Assumption Gap

July 9, 2024 Posted by John Barrett

The ‘assumption gap’ is a common challenge in teamwork, where misunderstandings arise from a lack of knowledge between team members. This detailed exploration warns against the dangers of filling these gaps with personal narratives, which can be either overly optimistic or pessimistically tragic, leading to distorted perceptions and workplace issues. To bridge this gap, the shift from a novelist’s creative storytelling to a journalist’s pursuit of facts is crucial. Leaders are tasked with fostering an environment that encourages open dialogue and feedback, ensuring that assumptions do not derail the organization’s progress. Embracing effective communication and teamwork is essential, as it is the bedrock of a strong organizational culture that can triumph over even the most well-crafted strategies. Enjoy!
