The Costly Chasm Between Behavioral-Diverse Industries
Opposites don’t always attract.
That’s especially true regarding communications between professions.
If you’re in medical or pharmaceutical R&D and Clinical Affairs, what’s been your experience with your colleagues in Sales and Marketing?
If you’re in Human Resources, what’s been your experience with Corporate Communications?
If you created a generic behavioral pattern for each of those industries based on a scale of 1–10 and measure categories like Assertiveness, Compliance, and Sociability, the behavioral “Resistance Gaps” between each would be large.
The vision of oil in water comes to mind.
Those resistance gaps can cause communication silos, which cost companies hundreds of thousands of dollars—even billions, with a “B”—and lost jobs.
Facilitating joint events between departments can help, but that’s more like going on a blind date. You feel forced to make conversation and be nice.
Behavioral resistance gaps are the basis of all human interactions. It’s time to “Up Your Human Game” and learn how to bridge those resistance gaps. Join us at the HR Disrupters’ Summit in-person experience and become part of the solution!
