I recall back in the 1990s when writers and practitioners like Meg Wheatley brilliantly introduced principles from quantum physics in the understanding of complex systems.
One of the most profound realizations I began to incorporate into my work was that everything is information. This includes events, objects, living beings, interactions, dynamics, time, space, discoveries, trends, systems and relationships across all dimensions known and unknown.
This positions communication as the prime cause behind everything that happens in and by teams and organizations. When things go well, it's because of the information we had at the time, through communication. Communication includes sharing, listening, observing, inquiring, doing.
Communication is not one thing that happens at work. It's everything.
