Recently, I ran across a scenario question. The question goes like this- I’ll paraphrase, two people need an orange, but there is only one orange available. How should they handle their situation?
Of course the obvious solution seems to give each one a half of the orange. But, not quite.
A better solution is to get an understanding of each other’s need. The reason- half of an orange might not meet the need of either.
What if: One person needs the orange to fill her cup of juice, and the other person needs to grate the orange rind for the Orange cake she is baking.
Without communication, both will fail to meet each other’s grated for the Orange cake and squeezed for the juice.
Simply asking to gain an understanding of the other’s need would provide a solution.
