Rectifying Communications Impasses : A 5 page paper
analyzing the organizational communication “disconnect” of a
rapidly growing business, Lawson Software, that
inadvertently allows their attitudes to lapse into a we vs. they
mentality. The company urged their reluctant managers to
use peer-to-peer training to become facilitators of groups
whose surface purposes were to discuss the internal problems
of the company. The managers, however, realized that all
their internal problems were only facets of one underlying
trouble: an early breakdown of communication both
intragroup and intergroup. One manager said that while
Deming had provided the philosophy, the facilitator approach
at Lawson had provided the means for implementation.
