Meetings should always to be face to face. This is a good way to make sure you get your point across without any mistake. I think this is a good idea in theory, but it is not always doable to meet others face to face all the time. Sometimes it's easier to meet over the phone or video chat.

Why do conversations need to be face to face. Its simple, body language doesn't translate well other ways. This is why text messaging is the most impersonal way to communicate.

I agreed with the message of the video. This are faster and more efficient when meetings are face to face. However with the society that we're living in we have the opportunity to communicate faster and more efficient if the person is available face to face. I think that is a culture we should embrace. Furthermore by having faster ways of communication over great distance has unleashed a world of opportunities for business and people everywhere.

Face to face communication in my opinion is by the far the best way to communicate. If you can look in a persons eye while speaking you can personally see the results you want from that individual . You can tell how invested that person is into what you are saying and can tell if they really care. Face to face communication also allows each individual present to ask the necessary questions needed to get the job done. If you communicate over the phone or over email, thoughts and ideas may not be as clear.

Talking face to face is important i feel. I don't agree totally with the video because you really can't always meet face to face. I think if you are doing business with people over seas the initial meeting should be face to face but know company is going to pay thousands of dollars a year for all their employees to meet face to face. With the technology we have today online hangouts through google or even skype are good ways of communication to use when conducting business. obviously is business that needs to be done through people in the same building can be face to face.

No form of communication is better than face to face conversations. When you communicate with someone face to face you can read their nonverbal cues to determine if they are actually understanding what you are trying to communicate with them. If a manager only communicates through email the understanding level might be fuzzy and production levels can suffer because of it. Face to face communication is the most efficient way to communicate.

great advice. its best to be able to talk to someone directly when possible. although i find that it can be a little more difficult to really think about an issue when they are right in front of you, the fact is that you will be able to get exactly what the individual is thinking at that specific moment.

I agree that meetings should always be face to face. This helps people not only remember you, but get a better understanding of you as a person. By practicing good body language, you can show the other person you are interested, professional, and poised. A simple smile can set the whole tone of a meeting, and that can not be done over the phone.

I agree to a certain extent with what this guy was saying. I don't agree that all meetings need to be face to face. Some meetings can be done via phone/skype/email etc. I don't think that certain things need to be face to face. If you are merely laying down some bullet points that you need taken care of for the day, an email will suffice. Now if it is for a major project meeting where you are distributing duties then that would be a good time for a face to face meeting.

I think face to face meetings are the best. Texting or emailing does not show emotion so you can never really know how someone is feeling. Face to face meetings give you a chance to engage with the other person and actually express emotion also their will not be any miscommunication which often happens through email. If you are asking a simple question I think email or text is fine but if you are trying to get someone's opinion or help with a problem you should meet face to face.

I think that the speaker has a great opinion and I can definitely understand his point of view. I am not sure I agree one hundred percent though. Although I do agree face to face meetings are more efficient and productive they are not always necessary. For instance, when the matter being discussed is very minor than other ways of communication like Skype may suffice. It definitely depends on the particular situation. Sometimes an email would be more efficient than telling every single employee the same thing.

TITLE - Nir Zuk: When does a meeting need to be face to face I think a meeting needs to be face to face to show level of interest between the parties involved. Some cultures prefer face to face meetings over conference calls and phone calls. While others are open to all forms of meetings, I personally prefer face to face meetings based on the fact that whatever is said or agreed upon is like a contract.

I completely agree with his opinion on the topic. If we decided to handle things in person more often versus relying on emails or text messages there would be less miscommunication. Things would run more smoothly and efficiently. I can't tell you how many times someone has misread a message or taken what I've written out of typed out of context. Then there is time wasted trying to fix the problem that could have been avoided if we would have just simply met in person. Another reason I think it is great to have face to face meetings is that you are able to judge their attitudes which helps with communication..

I agree, any meeting you can have to face to face should be as it is beneficial to both parties.It is beneficial because it increases our verbal communication skills as well as being able to respond with the proper emotion. We are so technology dependent and so many people would rather send an text message now than call someone on the phone. Some say this is sad and others say this is great because they don't have to be socially involved with others. When you send a text or e-mail this emotion is lost. Have you ever read an e-mail from your boss or read a text from your significant other and you weren't sure how to respond because you didn't know if they were mad or their state of emotion. When you are face to face with someone you can see the emotion paired with the words and you can see the context of the information that the deliver intended. We are losing the art of verbal face-to-face communication to technology and the effectiveness of our message.

I believe face to face meetings hold the maximum significance. If you are face to face, there are no other communication barriers like you have in phone meetings, texts, etc. The productivity is higher and each person is forced show their true character.
