There are several reasons for breakdowns in communication according to the document. First, lack of translation or misunderstanding is very common, as messages can be misinterpreted between parties. Second, people's focus is often short and they get distracted easily. Third, differences in opinions on ideas can lead to communication issues. Finally, pressure and overthinking can cause breakdowns. To improve communication, the document recommends clarification through verbal communication to clear up any misunderstandings. It also suggests listening, understanding, asking questions, and observing the other person closely to properly understand the context and meaning of what they are trying to convey.
