Australian Cricket - Captain-Crew communication

I was just reading about some issues arising during the second cricket test between Australia and India where there was some obvious disagreement. Australian captain, Ricky Ponting was physically expressive when discussing tactics with bowler, Brett Lee, demonstrating that all was not well. The author of the article, Malcolm Conn, suggested Ponting would have been better off communicating in a less demonstrative way and may have got his point across more clearly to Lee in a calm and mannered way. The audience woud have been none the wiser about any existing problem.
It brought to my mind how effective are the rest of us at communicating with our team to get the best results. Each individual has a team within themselves - the communication between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind can be likened to the communication between a Captain and his team. The more aligned and on the same path, the better the results for all.
Are you communicating with your team - are you giving clear instructions? do your words and your feelings match? My latest e-book "Power of Communication" will help you to communicate more clearly towards geting better results in all areas of life.
