SHARING OF PERCEPTION

Subjectivity is the key factor in perception. There will always be more than one interpretation of any situation. The issue is not so much whose interpretation is correct rather what the basis of the respective interpretation is.

Minimizing differences in perception is a major objective in managing people and relationships. The best way to minimize differences is by sharing of perception.

Techniques of sharing perceptions require open and direct communication by the perceivers with one another and with all parties concerned. This requires conscious effort and constant vigilance on our part; and many a time, it also requires us to be courageous in being open and honest in our communication.

Skills for sharing perceptions include, asking questions, sharing ideas and information, reflecting, summarising, not formulating the easiest way out, openness to change, listening and other communication techniques that facilitate mutual understanding.
