When I thought about an answer to your question I first tried to find a situation where communication is not important. I can't think of any situation where communication is not important - not if you want a balanced normal life. Keep in mind communication can happen in many different ways - not just verbal or written.
Communication in any aspect in life is how we convey messages, build relationships, solve problems. How can you solve a problem or help a person if you do not know that there is a problem or what the problem is? How would you know it if not through communication?
You teach / train / guide your affiliates through communication.
You can only help them with a specific problem if they communicate it to you.
One learns new things through communication in one way or another on a daily basis.
A lack of communication leads to assumptions - and assumptions are the mother of all failures. (whenever I think about that statement I think of a manager I had at work - except the word he used instead of failure will get me banned from SFI!!!)
Communication start when we are still babies - we cry to communicate to our parents that something is wrong or we need something.
Once we start to talk we ask questions so the world around us can be explained. We are not born knowing things - we learn about our world through communication,
SFI is a business. It is reality - even if it is online. it is part of our lives. In a business like this written communication might be even more important than anywhere else. Verbal communication is not always possible and other forms of communication like facial expressions, tone of voice and body language is almost non-existent.
Communication in all its forms and shapes is an integral part of our lives - why would it not be part of our SFI life?
Ask your affiliates how you can help them. Explain to them that you can only be a true leader to them if they communicate their needs to you. In my opinion once we realize this is real, not a game you would come to the conclusion that you need to communicate just like you do in your every day life.
