How Do You Communicate In Your Organisation?

Are you always formal or informal with your colleagues in your organisation?

Especially, at a mid to senior level position, you have to strike a balance while communicating with your colleagues, peers and subordinates.

Be too informal, hail-fellow-well-met kind and you are perceived as behaving in a frivolous, casual manner, even insincere; be too formal, and you are labelled as stiff, rigid, and even arrogant.

If you are too formal, try to come across as relaxed, natural; on the other hand, if you are too informal, try to induct a little gravitas.

Like most things in life, balance is the key.
