This is a well-articulated narrative, Satya. All the dimensions you have highlighted are relevant and essential for effective direct communication. To your repertoire I would add the element of 'transparency' as a contributory factor to the process of direct communication. You have provided a fine example of cross-cultural experience shaping the communication process and reframing perspectives.
An extremely valid point Mr Hari! Transparency is most often misconstrued with bluntness in high power distance cultural contexts. On the flip side, transparency without losing the politeness in expression could be a limitation in low power distance cultural contexts!
Importance of direct communication is so very well expressed and i got a feeling that I myself travelled to Germany and converse with the people there. invaluable lessons on direct communication for any person at any time of life are brought out by the author beautifully
