Communication – no words needed


I watched in fascination as the two men worked together in near silence. They walked from one piece of furniture to the next and with a nod, a grunt or a one word question like, ‘good?’, they moved every piece out of three rooms in less than 30 minutes, easily fitting it perfectly into nooks and crannies of other rooms in the house.
How did they know what to pick up next, where to place their hands and when to move? Is this what true team work is all about? When you’ve worked together for so long, you don’t need words to communicate?
