One of the job skills that employers desire most is effective communication. When people communicate effectively, they are able to build productive working relationships, solve problems, supervise others, and create trust in the workplace.
The Cost of Poor Communication - Communication gaps are caused by the failure to convey and/or understand the information, intent, or meaning of another, especially between individuals with different perceptions.
Barriers to Effective Communication
•Attitude of sender or receiver
•Emotional climate
•Hidden agendas
•Body language
•Semantics
•Interruptions
•Hot buttons
If you have the desire to become an effective communicator, you’ll be willing to do what it takes to make it happen. The real challenge in communicating is accurately sending images to others as well as accurately receiving images from them - to convey things exactly as you see them and to receive them exactly as others see them. Make effective communication a way of life. Mastering connecting, conveying, and checking responses comes only with practice. Growth takes time. You need to be patient with yourself while you incorporate and develop your new skills.
