The Power of Poor Communications
Schaub, Alfred R.
Journal of Educational Communication, 1, 2, 4-5, Sep-Oct 75
Most breakdowns in communications are the result of the quest for power on behalf of organization members, not the result of poor communications training. Organizational power may be accrued by withholding information, sabotaging communications, refusing to communicate bad news to superiors, and avoiding confrontations by not communicating at all. (DS)
