Reflections on Reading
After reviewing the Atlas Black Chapter embedded here, please look below it for a few questions for reflection.
Atlas received some useful tips in this episode on norms for professional communication and interpersonal relationship building. For instance, he was encouraged to find ways to reduce noise and avoid communication errors such as filtering, selective perception and information overload. In addition, he is introduced to the concept of communication freezers.
