In Brazil, the most important information often flows through informal channels rather than official ones. Formal communications—official announcements, organizational statements, published reports—may be incomplete, delayed, or misleading. The real information—what is actually happening, what decisions are being made, what matters—flows through trusted personal networks. Brazilians learn early to cultivate informal information sources because relying solely on formal channels means operating with incomplete understanding.
When you need to know what is really going on, your trusted relationships are more reliable than official communications. Build those relationships deliberately; they are your access to information that formal channels will not provide.
