5 | Sushma works in Infosoft Solutions Pvt Ltd. She works there as Project Leader. Occasionally her job demands coming early for her duties or stay till late evening hours. (14) Once she was handling 2 projects simultaneously and on one such day she had convened a meeting with her team members regarding project delivery. She had called her team members at 08.00 hours. Sushma is a disciplinarian and generally she follows duty timings strictly. Discipline starts with me, was her firm principle. She had made a habit of coming 5 minutes early at least. However, on that day she could not make meeting time of 08.00 hours and she was worried of her reputation could be at stake. Time was 0805 and she reached main gate of her company. Hurriedly she swiped her card and rushed towards board room. That time few housemen were doing cleaning. One of the housemen had spread soap solution on the floor. Unaware of what is on the floor, she continued to rush to the board room. In hurry, Sushma slipped her foot. The floor was made of marbles and soap solution was sprinkled over. The floor had become quite slippery. Sushma could not control her balance on the slippery floor and fell down. Slippery floor dragged her couple of feet further. The impact was so strong that she wailed loudly. Her team members rushed to help her. Somehow she could get up with the help of her team members. Considering her wailing because of pain, she was taken to the hospital. In the hospital it was discovered that her hip bone was broken. Later she was immobile for about two months because of hip injury. Later in investigation, it was revealed that the houseman who was cleaning the floor had not put the display board “Caution: Floor is Wet”. Read the above case study carefully and find out the communication issues involved in it. OR |

Mark: I was thinking about meeting him and seeing if there might be a possibility for collaboration. What do you think? Ajay: Yes, you should meet with him, and you should also meet with others. Mark: Thanks. Who else should I meet with? Ajay: You know there are some girls who fall in love with a boy who is very popular, well dressed, and good looking. After they get married, they realize that they made a mistake because the boy has no substance. Other girls will look for a guy with good character — checking out his family situation and talking with his friends about him. When she gets married, she is much happier than the girl who married the popular guy. Reflection:
