MECE (Mutually exclusive collectively exhaustive) MECE is a way of structuring your thinking and
communication in a way that ensures that all the
issues have been covered (cumulatively
exhaustive) and that there is no repetition
(mutually exclusive). This ensures crispness and
clarity.
Example of MECE communication:

Sharing Sharing is a way of communicating your
thoughts, feelings, beliefs, points of views,
information
speaker ‘owns’ their own thoughts and
experience. They are not embarrassed for
thinking or feeling what they do, nor do they
imply that it is the only way to see things and
there are no other legitimate perspectives
Judgement Judgement is when someone assumes that
their subjective experience of something is the
way everyone sees it, or the way everyone
should see it.
Advantage: Decisive
Disadvantage: Closed, arrogant, judgmental
Advice Advice is usually any statement which includes
‘you should’ or ‘you shouldn’t’.
Advice is effective when both the following
conditions are fulfilled:
1. the speaker actually does know more than the
listener
2. when the listener acknowledges that the
speaker has more knowledge
Judgement: That was a great performance (note: judgement can be positive or negative)
Sharing: I really enjoyed your performance
Advice vs Sharing:
Belief vs Reality:
So, the one thing you can do with beliefs that you cannot do with reality is change them. But if you
think your beliefs are reality, you can’t change your beliefs and you end up going in the same cycle
over and over again, even if it’s not working for you. We think it’s the reality that’s causing the
result but actually the way we’re looking at the situation also contributes to it.
