Say it simply!
💭 Have you ever explained something to someone and thought:
“I couldn’t have been any clearer…”
…only to realise they understood something completely different?
Sometimes communication problems are not caused by different values.
They are caused by different assumptions.
A simple model that I find fascinating:
Value → Assumption → Expectation → Judgement
Two people can share the same value (for example, clear communication) but have completely different ideas about what that means.
One person might think:
➡️ “Being clear means getting straight to the point.”
Another might think:
➡️ “Being clear means providing enough context.”
Same value.
Different assumptions.
Different expectations.
Different interpretations.
The next time someone communicates in a way that frustrates you, try asking:
Are we actually disagreeing on values, or are we seeing the situation through different assumptions?
I’d love to hear your thoughts 👇
