Communication, the one skill we always keep learning—from our parents giving us little tips in listening and speaking and teachers guiding us on how to talk to friends and elders, to institutes coaching us on being confident in interviews to organizations training us on continuously improving our communication with our team members, bosses, and clients. Learning effective communication has become an essential skill for almost any career today. So, it is no surprise that organizations strive day in and day out to help their employees learn to communicate effectively. This paper gives a simple technique to make your communication in an organizational context, or even in a personal context, as effective as possible.
Communication – a concept so powerful that it can either make or break the performance
and productivity of any organization.
If a genie were to appear before the leadership of any organization and deliver them
one wish, to eradicate one challenge or concern in their organization in their path to
growth, development and success, at least 9 out of 10 would probably choose that
challenge to be ‘communication’.
Communication is best judged by the effect it has on others—the impact it generates
and the results it achieves. Organizations constantly keep facilitating workshops
(Figure 1) in many ways with many techniques to help their employees enhance their
communication. In fact, there are way too many. Here, we will attempt to simplify the
theories of communication concepts by learning a few simple, example-driven set of
techniques to remember.
