Lesson 13 Dialogue My Way or the Highway
Hey, it's good to catch up with you again! I'm liking all these new faces here, but sometimes I detect tension due to the generation gap. For sure, our generation values flexibility, spontaneity, and breaking barriers. On the one hand, I certainly do not mind age, but I do insist on having people be down to earth. Different mindsets seem to be a stumbling block to communication, but a concise set of rules could minimize that problem. Well, have you talked to the manager lately? He's certainly down to earth, but all my recommendations fall flat with him. We really need a more viable partnership. Indeed, he does seem to have preconceived notions about us new employees, as if all we do is Twitter and Facebook all day! Well, we could give him some candid feedback. After all, creativity is not finite; we could innovate new practices and procedures.
