Big Picture Thinker Miscommunication – A Friday Funny

By Michelle Malay Carter on August 22, 2008 

We’ve been talking about how to “language” messages in order to make them satisfying to employees.? In my last post, I suggested that the language that individuals find satisfying and actionable might be tied to work levels and corresponding cognitive capacity.

As you move up the work levels hierarchy, the use of language moves from concrete to abstract, from highly detailed to bigger picture.? All levels?are necessary for the success of the organization, but different levels call for different language.

The following clip suggests that this might be a visual phenomenon as well.? This hairdresser is certainly a big-picture thinker!? Take 28 seconds for a laugh today.
