Effective communication - communication that really works

It is about getting better...

A son who just graduated from a prestigious grad school of business, was assigned by his father to lead and manage his construction company.    Months later the construction company was in shambles:    costs overrun, projects delayed.  The father investigated and found out that the cause was poor communications.  As a MBA grad and prestigious school grad, he practiced the civil and respectful communications.   However as I discovered early on  (we worked closely with contractors for road development and house counstruction) , communications with  construction workers is nearly just like a shouting match always.  A civil communication would not work. They would not listen   Communications with them has to be intense and forceful.

What do you think?
