  This is by far one of my favourite stories which is truly timeless and very apt for the corporate world. And the perspective this story/experiment  provides is so powerful that once you read it, the lesson will stay with you for the rest of your life and will help you be a better leader. As leaders, many of us have to manage a diverse group of people, who are often, scattered geographically and usually from different cultural backgrounds. Now throw in couple of more ingredients into the mix - remote working and the various modes of collaboration like text chat, emails, online meetings and you will realise how important it is to communicate effectively and get your ideas across to the other team members, colleagues and even to your own supervisors.  In 1990, a psychology student at Stanford University, conducted an interesting experiment.  It was referred to as the " Tappers & Listeners " experiment.  The rest of the world first heard of it when the authors Chip and Dan
