Open impact — where the author of the impact explicitly warns about the impact and outlines its nature.
examples:
- «Bring me some tea, please!» — the impact is unclear, most likely a request, but this must be deciphered in intonations.
- “What about tea?..” (with a displeasedly surprised face?) — the nature of the impact is hidden (either a request, or a demand, or an accusation …)
- “I have a request for you: please make me some strong tea!” It is an address with an open, declared and explicitly formulated intent.
Efficiency of open exposure
Overt influence is not as situationally effective as covert action, but in the long run it gives big gains.
In groups and organizations with a high level of culture, traditions of open communication and open influence are preferred.
Recommendations
Practice expressive and understandable non-verbal.
To establish and maintain civilized communication, communicate your intentions openly more often.
