How engineers misapproach communication (and how to do it better)
The article discusses how engineers often get communication wrong. They tend to focus on technical aspects rather than effectively conveying information. The author points out that the key to better communication lies in understanding the needs of various parties and being able to adjust one's style to the audience. Instead of sending lengthy emails filled with technical details, it's more effective to concentrate on specific problems and solutions. In particular, engineers should learn to ask questions to better understand a situation, as this helps to avoid misunderstandings. Maintaining open communication and regularly checking for understanding within the team further supports effective information exchange.
