As I read about each chapter and learn more about organizational communication, I realize that many of the concepts do make sense yet I wonder why they are not followed by the majority of people in organizations. People who do not have the opportunity to take this class or any communication class should still be able to use their common sense to decide what to communicate, how and to whom. Throughout the postings from the students I read about so many situations where that has not happened. We all have been in situations where someone did not communicate or did but inappropriately. And, we'll also all been in situations where we did not communicate appropriately either. When I only focus on reasons why I haven't communicated at all or well enough, I realize that it is not easy. It seems that life goes by so fast and doing the right thing all the time is almost impossible. My management expects me to get things done, deadlines are aggressive and communication is often the part I must leave out.
