There is basic big difference between human & animals. Animals cannot communicate beyond certain level. We as humans have discovered different methods of communication. There are different languages, different signals, different instruments through which we can communicate. The written communication is so great that we can read today what was written decades, centuries ago. You don't need to be able to speak to each and every person to express your thoughts. Blog is also one of that kind of medium. You can express your thoughts, your thought process, your ideas and people who don't know you too read that. Don't know when it will help someone change his life.
If you are serious about achieving your goals, you should learn to be passionate about it. You need to communicate your passion to your team - be it the customer, be it the vendor, be it your staff and employees. Steve Jobs had famously asked John Sculley (who was Marketing chief at Cola company) 'Do you want to sell cola all your life or want to change the world with computer?', Steve Jobs communicated such that John Sculley had to join Apple. What happened later is a different story all together and this is not the forum. But the lesson to be learnt here is that if we can communicate our goals to the team or potential team member, then half of your job gets done.
Startups often don't have those resources which those deep pocketed corporate have. How can they build a team? Even after building the team, you need to build right culture in the team. You need to communicate to them about how the culture is being build. You need to share your vision so that there are no confusions. They need to understand your thought process and for that communication is the most important thing. You must be able to listen and communicate effectively so that others are able to understand what you exactly want to say.
