Mindful and mindless communication

Phatic communication is a form of small talk that helps us appear social and gives the impression that we are interested in others. Everybody can admit to do this more then one time. I find it convenient then just walking away or ignore somebody. Something else you see that is common in mangers in organization is scripts. There has been times when i felt that it wasn't coming from the heart, that its the same routine speech every manger gives to every employee. It makes me feel that a script is attached with no emotion.On the positive side , scripts can help you play out an conversation with a coworker if you have nothing really to say. I feel each individual should be spoken to different every time when spoken to .( chapter 11, page 344-345)
