Next generation communication from the ‘Foxhole’ perspective

Foxhole, which means trench, means battle position in military literature. Undoubtedly, determining the correct battle position from a security perspective is a critical step! Because foxhole can easily turn into our grave in moments of possible crisis.

Precisely for this reason, we should carefully decide with whom we will be together in the foxhole; far beyond strategies and tactical steps, we should meticulously choose the people we will fight with.

What crises bring, what they will bring and what they may bring... Each of them carries each of us to different scenarios. We can all make acceptable tactical mistakes within those scenarios, but strategic mistakes are irreversible.

In daily life, foxhole

Applying foxhole to civilian life, the concept of the ‘inner circle’ comes into play. If we grow and grow together with qualified people in our life struggle (in our combat position), this area could support our development. Especially if we are investing in the future, our progressive outlook can push the people around us out of their comfort zone. In this case, however, some may see our development as a danger to themselves.

When we are in a process of change or when we start to take steps in this direction, our close environment needs to adapt to this transformation process and support us. Otherwise, we may find ourselves in the middle of an adventure that undermines our own development.

Where does communication fit in?

Our communication skills/preferences can be a fundamental starting point in determining our foxhole framework. When we think that no one understands us, we can inhibit communication processes and create a one-man war position in line with our own interests.

In short; in order to move our success forward, to get out of crises with less damage and to build better things, we need to improve our skills in finding people who will accept our change. Our competence in this area is actually the reflection of our communication skills in daily life.

But have you ever thought about it?
