2. Communications
u Communication: The act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to
another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules
The Fundamental
Question:
Was my Communication
Successful?
• Received
• Rejected
• Ignored
Did we Accomplish our Mission?
u Guest:
u Will we deliver on guest
expectations?
u Will they take advantage of our
services?
u Staff:
u Will they do what I need them to
do, when I need it done?
3. How many times during a conversation have you
thought, "Gee, I wish I had known this earlier?" or "Wow,
what were they thinking? Not the best time or place to
share that".
Timing is everything.
Timing is Everything, Miscommunication is Costly
“Ah I
forgot!”
“Gee, I
wish I had
known this
earlier!”
“I would
have loved
to do
that!”
“I
didn’t
know!”
How often Do you Hear? What Does Miscommunication Cost, in:
• Failing to do the right thing
• Going to the wrong place
• Arriving late or not at all
Each Guest or Staff Communication
is a Potential Point of Failure!
4. How do we Prevent Miscommunication
1. Understand your Audience
u Consider their state of mind, emotions, their
schedule, the potential for distraction
2. Plan it
u What’s the message: simple or complex,
detailed?
u When is the best time to receive it, timing is
everything?
u What is the most appropriate vehicle: verbal,
eMail, text, SMS
3. Schedule it
4. Automate it
