Abstract
Differences in individual goals, language and culture build barriers to effective communication at the crossroads between engineers and technical communicators as project team members. The barriers appear in starting, supporting, scheduling and guiding projects. Open communication, active listening and collaborative problem solving can help the project leader “wave ´em through and watch ´em smile”
