Each organization, each culture, each leader typically uses some form of ‘code’ when communicating. It’s important to know the ‘code’ you’re constantly exposed to.
A business leader says, “we’re not doing so well. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing.”
That’s code for: “hold on while the smart people figure this out.”
Granted, that’s not terribly inspiring—but at least you know the code. At least you’ll know what you’re up against.
We’ve recently added a new category ‘Do You Know The Code’ to this blog. This post, as well as those in the future on this same topic, will be archived there.
If you have examples of ‘code’…please share them…we can all benefit from them.
