During my time working at a pool company, I faced a significant issue with ineffective communication when our manager failed to provide clear directives for a large project on acid-cleaning a pool. This situation involved a direct verbal exchange in a brief team meeting where there were outlined general goals but no specifics on deadlines or resource allocation. This was an example of poor verbal communication, marked by vagueness and lack of detail. The communication faltered due to our manager rushing and incomplete explanations. This led to confusion among the team. Ultimately resulting in delays, misallocated resources, and overall, a dissatisfied customer who faced delays in their pool cleaning. The entire team suffered from the lack of direction, which not only hurt our efficiency but also dampened team morale as we struggled to meet vague expectations.Are there any other reasons the communications were ineffective? Were there any other negative impacts or people negatively impacted that your peers did not mention? If so, explain.
