strange but effective

Inspiration for today's blog comes from my class on personnel management. I was attending this class for the first time, professor had his own way to teach every topic that he was about to speak about was first asked as a question to which I very enthusiastically replied initially but then I noticed that he didn't pay attention to answer given by any of the students. I assumed that he was looking for active participation but later realised it was just his way to start a new topic. It was an example of a different communication that I had observed today, for generally I had always thought that one way communication was not effective, other thing that I noticed was that he would look mostly towards a particular side of the class which I felt was discriminating for he didn't pay much attention towards the side where majority of girls were sitting. He would hardly acknowledge questions asked for he was too busy in just dictating what he had too. Having noticed all the challenges that I faced in class there was still something that kept me motivated and attentive in class, it was his expertise on the subject and me being able to relate it to personal corporate experience. What I analysed was that no matter how much you read, its important to be clear on concepts and be able to convey it. He had the confidence to carry on, on his own and kept class involved by sharing few examples that all could relate too. As I come to an end to the blog I realise that he was one good example of A leader who read the needs of his team and knew what exactly was to be conveyed. His one way communication was actually zestful in his own way.
