Situation: You Just Don't "Get" People...
How important is it for a Project Manager to be able to "read people", picking up on those non-verbal cues that are so very important to real communication? As we've all heard over and over and over, "project management is all about communication". Various publications also quote the inevitable 75% of communications is nonverbal. So it seems to me that this is an area that's important for all of us to work on. Many talk about the four elements of Body Language Code. Others talk about specific tell-tale actions that give people's real feelings and objectives away.
There are a number of web based resources that are often fun (see youtube video below) and/or instructive:
- How to Read People from Life Training online
- Texas Hold'em Poker: How to Read Physical Tells
- How to read people's body language? in Yahoo Answers
