process . . .

• Pathos (Emotions and feelings) — must have a strong positive and emotional commitment to the message

Logos (reason or arguments) — message must “make sense” to the listener; must persuade by logic

Taxis (structure) — message must be organized logically

NL Understand Why Communication Is So Difficult (1)

We see and describe things in terms of our own experience – our values, beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and feelings

A stimulus affects no two people the same way. Our perceptions do not come only from what we see. They come from within us. We do not see with the eye as much as we see with the I (the ego).

Page 14: Nice Leadership

We see things largely as we have seen them before. We tend to see things the way we are used to seeing them.

We tend to find that for which we are looking.

We tend to simplify things we do not understand.

NL Understand Why Communication Is So Difficult (2)

Page 15: Nice Leadership

NL listen with the intent to understand;

not with the intent to reply.

Nice Leadership, like Nice Customer Service, contains:

1. Humanity: Polite and courteous treatment of people

2. Understanding and Empathy: Understanding and appreciation of the people’s feelings

3. Fairness: Just and impartial treatment of all people
