In the fire service we have After Action Reviews (AARs) after fires. The purpose of these reviews is to go over what went right during the call, and more importantly, what went wrong. The goal is to get better by looking at the things that impacted how we were able to take care of the situation. When a firefighter is killed on duty, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) performs a rigerous investigation into the events and circumstances surrounding the incident. There's one issue that's identified as a problem in every AAR our department conducts and every fatality investigation NIOSH performs: communication. You can imagine how important it is for everyone to be on the same page during a fire, and for the communication between crews to be accurate and timely. When communication breaks down, bad things can happen. However, although we recognize that communication is a huge issue, and we work very hard to make it better, it's still an issue and it still causes problems.
This isn't limited to the fire service…communication, or lack there of, causes problems in everyday life, including our gym. This communication can be as simple as relating the equipment or facilities, or it can be as complex as the relationships we have with people. I'll give you a timely example of some good communication that occured just today. This morning after the 6am WOD, one of our peeps came up to me and said "I have a statement and a question." Sounds loaded, doesn't it? The question was about establishing 1 rep maxes. Good question! The statement: "the sink in the ladies room is dripping." We try to get through the bathrooms on a regular basis to clean, restock, etc. But I didn't notice that the sink was dripping. How long has this been going on? I have no idea! Until someone lets me or one of the other coaches know, we can't take care of it. Folks probably assumed we knew about it, and maybe even wondered why we haven't take care of it. But without telling one of us, we have no idea unless we stumble on it after it's been going on for a while. By then what started as a small drip could have grown into a larger problem.
Think this story is just about leaky sinks? Good communication can make a huge difference. It takes effort, but just like in the fire service, improving communication can resolve a lot of the problems we encounter.
